Former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie got into it with Meghan McCain on social media after he took a swipe at her father.
It was a busy couple of days for Higbie as rumors began to circulate that he was interviewing to replace Sean Spicer as White House press secretary on Friday.
On Thursday, during an interview with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin, Higbie called on Arizona Sen. John McCain to apologize for calling a recent Yemen raid a failure because Navy SEAL Ryan Owens died during the mission.

“I think John McCain does owe an apology to the Owens family. I think it was dishonorable of him, too,” Higbie said. “He called it an unsuccessful mission because of a plane crash? This is a guy who crashed an enormous amount of planes during training. Look, these things happen, and it’s not an unsuccessful mission just simply because John McCain doesn’t like Trump.”
In the same interview he sparred with former Army veteran Perry O’Brien, who he also slammed in a heated exchange that Baldwin attempted to referee.
But it was the swipe at her father the drew Meghan McCain into a fierce social media fight with Higbie.
It is BIZARRE to watch a navy seal @CarlHigbie to say my father’s service was dishonorable. BIZARRE. I am on Earth freaking 2.

Trump has never served. My father can’t bend one of his knees or lift one of his arms above his head. I am done with this today. DONE.

Disagree with politics ANY single day but how dare anyone question the honor of my father and his service.

.@CarlHigbie you said his record was bad because he crashed planes. I take great offense at what you said about his service.
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) February 9, 2017
@MeghanMcCain I respect your father service but not his politics
— Carl Higbie (@CarlHigbie) February 9, 2017
.@CarlHigbie please say that on television next time after you question his record for crashing a plane before being taken into a POW camp.

@MeghanMcCain have your father show my president the same respect and I’ll come on your show to apologize publicly… deal?

My great grand father and grandfather were admirals in the navy, my other grandfather in the army, both of my brothers currently serve.

This trend of commentators criticizing the service of men and women in the military is dangerous and offensive. Keep to politics alone.
