Description"For the second time this week, Daily Beast blogger Meghan McCain defended her father against former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who said Ariz. Sen. John McCain “doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.”

In a Tuesday interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Santorum responded to the former prisoner of war’s claim that torture didn’t lead to Osama bin Laden’s death.

“This idea that we didn’t ask that question while Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was being waterboarded, he doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works,” Santorum said of former colleague McCain. “I mean, you break somebody, and after they’re broken, they become cooperative. And that’s when we got this information.”

Meghan first shot back at Santorum on Tuesday with her tweet,”Rick Santorum telling my father doesn’t know about torture is like Carrot Top telling Lebron James he doesn’t know about basketball.”

Upon clarifying that she didn’t mean to insult the redheaded comedian, the 26-year-old compared Santorum to “Jersey Shore” reality star Jenni “JWoww” Farley.

“Rick Santorum lecturing my father about torture is like JWOWW lecturing Malcom Gladwell about writing,” McCain wrote."
