Former View host Meghan McCain has threatened to 'sue' serial provocateur Alex Jones in a since-deleted social media post that surrounded her late father, former Arizona Senator John McCain.    

McCain, 41, issued the X post Monday after Jones accused her dad - a war hero -  of being a 'bagman' for terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. A 'bagman' is someone who collects illicitly obtained funds. Jones made the claim on his web show Sunday.

McCain responded with what appeared to be a nod to Jones' past legal woes and unfounded conspiracy claims.

'My family has the resources to sue your ass for this bullsh*t and we all know how that’s gone for you in the past,' she wrote, before deleting the post in question several hours later.  

McCain - a View panelist from 2017 to 2021 - did not discuss Jones' points further.

Jones told viewers the day before, 'Going back over 30 years, Sen. John McCain was the bagman - and sometimes he delivered the checks himself in literally planes of cash - to Al Qaeda, then to ISIS, Boko Haram, all of it.   

'And they would use them to knock out our enemies, but also as the pretext to then come in and invade and attack.'

The far-right commentator further claimed that British intelligence, the CIA, and Israel's Mossad continue to 'fund and support and run all the most vicious Muslim groups there are, and bring them in' - all without evidence.

'They say fight ’em over there so we don’t fight ’em over here,' Jones said. 'The West brings them in, then when the Muslims attack us, they set up TSA to grope our testicles. 

'They take our rights, they have an excuse to go invade these countries. All in the name of keeping us safe.'

Jones, 52, spent years telling viewers the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was staged by gun control advocates as part of a secret bid to repeal the Second Amendment. 

Jones was hit with a $1.4billion judgment in 2022 after survivors' families successfully sued for defamation. The US Supreme Court shot down Jones' latest - and likely last - attempt to get the judgment tossed late last year. He has yet to fork over any money.

Sen. McCain, meanwhile, was notably one of four Republicans who voted for a bipartisan Manchin-Toomey amendment in April 2013 to strengthen background checks required to buy guns, despite past opposition to stricter gun control.  

McCain died on August 25, 2018, aged 81, following a career where he came to be known as a conservative 'maverick.'

McCain served as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam war, where he was a prisoner of the Viet Cong for more than five years. 

He famously refused to support Donald Trump in 2016, after which he became a vocal critic of the administration. 

His daughter has maintained a similar stance toward the president, who is now in his second term.

Before leaving the show in 2021, she spoke out against the insurrection at the Capitol that took place earlier in the year.

'The bedrock of our democracy, and the bedrock of who we are as Americans, is the peaceful transition of power. And he is clearly a president who has turned into a mad king,' McCain said of Trump at the time, before demanding he be removed from office.

The Daily Mail approached McCain for comment.
