Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is calling out the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire for tweeting a photo of her crying over her father's flag-draped coffin with a caption reading: "Happy Holidays."

The tweet came on Thursday, exactly four years after John McCain died.

"This is the official twitter account of the state of New Hampshire's Libertarian political party," Meghan McCain tweeted. "I really fear for the future of the world and how we have come to treat each other - especially on social media. I hope no one ever does anything like this to any of you."

In another post, she said: "This photo is the most pain I've ever been in - physically, emotionally - worse than any moment of childbirth. I thought it was going to kill me. But I didn't and it made me the woman I am today. I'm made of steel. To anyone who feels like I did here, it passes, I truly promise."

And she tweeted: "How I survived the grief: God. Friends. Family. Intense therapy. Medication. I am not ashamed of feeling pain publicly. Today is the 4 year anniversary of my dads death and to anyone who is here or has been here - YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Reach out, ask for help, it will get better.."

And she also tweeted: "I'm just not going to be harassed for being sad at my dads casket or let anyone else feel ashamed of their pain. The world deserves better."

But the Libertarians refused to back down.

The party tweeted: "Wait until you see what we tweet when the Clintons finally kick the bucket."

In another tweet, it said: "If we don't dance on the graves of war criminals, who will?"
