This is insane. On today's episode of the View, Meghan McCain used her dad's time as a prisoner of war to minimize the suffering of imprisoned migrant children. For the millionth time, not everything is about you and your father. pic.twitter.com/rhR0HoQVb1

Its like john oliver’s bit from last week – “can I just say something?” “Can I talk?”
I don’t agree with Mccain on a lot of things but she really is in a difficult position. She get’s paid a lot of money to disagree with 4 other ladies on a daily basis. She just lost her father and during this time Trumpster has made it his mission to poop all over his memory publically. It’s a weird position to be in for her. She obviously has had a hard time dealing with all of this and maybe just needs to get off tv for a big and mourn and get herself together. It does make for compelling television though. IF they all just agreed wouldn’t it be boring?
Here’s an idea: She could find a job where she doesn’t have to defend Trump to earn a paycheck. They do exist. I don’t think she’s hurting for money anyway.
On one hand, I feel like saying, “Stfu, you spoiled child,” on the other, I feel as though she is not handling her father’s death at all, and needs therapy. 🤷🏼♀️
I think you’re on to something.
I watch The View daily and I find Meghan McCain insufferable. She is VERY entitled, spoiled and arrogant. Is either her point of view or her point of view, nothing in the middle. She hates Trump ONLY because he went against her father, whom was an Honorable man, born in Panama and a great friend of my native country (Colombia) .
Meghan McCain doesn’t miss an opportunity to talk about her wealthy well connected background and few weeks ago even had the audacity to ask Ana Navarro “why are you still a Republican”? She calls herself “Conservative” and “Pro Life” while at the same time is a fervent supporter of the NRA (Sandy Hook anyone??). She thinks she in some kind of pedestal and everyone needs to lick the floor where she walks.
She should be living a very happy life, everything has been handed to her on a silver spoon (how do you think she got job at “The View”? ….), but she comes across as angry and resentful. If she leaves the show all I would say is… GOOD RIDDANCE!!
Much like Ivanka, she has this job because of her father and not her experience or intelligence.
Meghan has always behaved like an angry entitled brat.She has behaved like this since long before the death of her father.She behaved this way before Trump,and before the View. She’s one of those people who’s face is easy to read IMO and she reeks of bitterness and a totally smug personality.She has nothing to say that I’m interested to hear.I mean her basic complaint sounds to me like she’s angry to have to deal with some difficulty at work (who doesn’t?)Her paycheck should more than make up for it.
She has always struck me as way out of her depth on The View. She can’t really compete with the others as far as discussion skills are concerned. This has nothing to do with her political views. I wonder why they hired her in the first place?
She’s defending and minimizing the damage of child separation and imprisonment. That’s inexcusable.
The kicker is – it is totally optional. Everything about her life is completely optional in every way. She doesn’t have to be on TV, in the spotlight, defending Trump or her father. She could literally disappear and never work or show her face again for public judgment and be totally fine. Every day she wakes up, she makes the wildly unnecessary choice to subject herself to The View. She’s not hurting for a paycheck, she shows up to feel powerful, have a platform, and a voice. She is ego driven.
Exactly this.
Poor thing. Suffering from silver-spoon disorder. Hoping she pulls through!
I don’t feel bad for her at all except for the horrible crap that the Orange Turd keeps saying about her father. She trashed President Obama for years and continued to do so even after Cheeto was elected.
Exactly! She would be on the Trump’s train if Trump had been nice to her father….
This is so very true.
Re: Meghan McCain: she has NOTHING BUT her father to keep her in the limelight. She has no accomplishments of her own. If she was barred from speaking about/referring to him, she’d have nothing to say. She really is a horrible person.
That makes her horrible????
I don’t agree with Meghan in that she puts party over country, but horrible?
Given everything that is happening right now…. yeah sorry, putting party over country makes you pretty horrible.
We literally have proto-concentration camps at the border. We can stop pretending people who support this administration have any redeeming qualities.
She would have no reason for being on that show unless she “took the other side.” So yes, it’s pretty horrible that this rich white spoiled not-very-intelligent brat has a platform that helps legitimize that administration.
Bringing up her father doesn’t make her horrible. Bringing up her father to excuse atrocities against children DOES make her horrible. It’s how she deploys his memory to defend terrible things that makes her so awful.
If she is not against kids being caged for whatever reason then yes she is a horrible person. Her dad was caged for years and in his maverick days he would have been against kids being caged. People who don’t vociferously denounce kids being in cages are heartless monsters. There is zero reason for them to be there. The rest of the democratic world is watching in horror right now and could give a shit about the pathetic GOP explanations. There are none. It is a violation of The Hague convention and the UN should be there right now. Any other smaller country would be facing UN intervenors right now because right now it’s not any different than the camps in Syria.
I can understand a parent taking pride in the child they raised, but “being in X’s balls forty years ago” is not an accomplishment.
At least Ivanka can claim that she’s committed felony fraud and abused sweatshop workers all by herself!
Perfect description of McCain: “she gets paid a ton of money to say “my father” a lot.” And she still defends Trump, a cretin who won’t leave her dead father in peace. So, no sympathy from me.
I don’t think she defends him. I saw her speak, and she said that she doesn’t like him but was scared for people to think that she was attacking his supporters (I wouldn’t have a problem with it.). She also said that she really likes Biden, but could never vote for a Democrat. To me, that’s ridiculous. Country over party.
She is worried about attacking his supporters because it’s not her father’s Republican Party anymore, it’s the party of Trump. So she can get away with saying she “doesn’t like” him (when she probably hates him) and assuring these idiots that she still respects them, that she would never vote Democratic, and that she defends Trump’s horrible policies. They’ll lap that sh*t up. She knows what side her bread is buttered on, which makes her a horrible hypocrite. I think that’s why she looks miserable. She doesn’t really care about Trump, Trump supporters or anybody but herself.
@minx
Regarding the side her bread is buttered on, you are absolutely correct! She is a Republican/right wing media personality so she needs to kowtow to their absolute lord and master, DJT. She has to be careful with what she says so she can stay in that milieu.
Plus isn’t her hubby running the publication the Federalist which is also a big player in that right wing ecosystem.
Tourmaline—yes, he is.
she afraid of attacking the supporters because they are the ones who put money into her husband pocket.
My question is; would she be anti Trump if he hadn’t trashed her dad? Because it’s personal she takes a stand?
yes, that really is the only reason why she takes a stand.
Thing is, she’s only anti-Trump when he attacks her Dad. The rest of the time, she’s defending Trump and Trump voters. She is rude and mean to her co-stars and she’s yelled at the studio audience several times when they clap to support issues Meghan is against.
Wow, by the end of that video “my father” sounded super strange.
Maybe her ankles are getting weak, ya know, with all that grandstanding on her dead father’s legacy
go Meghan!
give the prime spot to Anna Navarro!!!
Everyday on ‘The View’
Nobody::
Meghan McCain: my father is John Mccain
Joy Behar: I love puppies
Meghan McCain: my father JOHN MCCAIN loved puppies more than you!
😂
What exactly does she bring to the table except the ability to make everything about her dead Father? Girl, BYE!
re: center parting. It can be aging. I don’t mind it on Mandy, maybe because she still looks so young
Bye girl! She defends the most odious parts of this administration and her husband is worse.
Give that sport to Ana Navarro–she would be an improvement for the show.
Imagine having to basically chat for a few minutes a day for a million dollars a year and feeling tired and defeated. IMO the only reason she is on the view is because of her last name. In all due respect for her father, Meghan has ridden the McCain name for a long time and she is exhausted because she can no longer due that. She is going through an identity crises. Give the job to Anna Navarro. I don’t always agree with Anna, but she is funny and has energy.
Maybe she should ask some of the people at the border what being treated like a “caged animal” actually feels like.
Exactly! Try drinking out of toilets because they don’t have drinking water.
YES. given the current situation, using that metaphor is just…..bad.
The View never has been an easy gig for the token Republican which is why there is a revolving door for that position.
Meghan isn’t going to receive any love from the View or its audience. She needs to understand that is the reality of the position as the View’s token conservative. There aren’t any Republicans who watch that show. They only read mocking articles online so they can dog pile on Joy or Whoopie if they are so inclined.
That woman who wore her bathing suit upside down…that can’t be real…how did she think…wth…I just…
I was wondering the same…
if you read the details, she says that she initially had it on correctly, but got drunk, used the ladies room WHERE SHE TOOK HER ENTIRE SUIT OFF (???) and put it back on upside down when done (due to the drunken state).
But I’m STILL like WTF? why not just pull it down to your knees? Why take it completely off?! makes one wonder if the trip to the ladies room wasn’t for the usual reason, but instead to hook up.
I know, right? I can’t even figure out wtf she did to get it on that way. I mean, even at my drunkest, I knew if my swimsuit was on correctly. (I think, lol)
I once put my underwear on sideways–one leg through the waist opening, one leg through a leg opening, and then my waist was through another leg opening. Didn’t figure this out until the end of the work day–the whole day something felt off, I just didn’t know what.
John McCain would be so proud … NOT.
Meghan McCain and her self-presentation: White women tears + a side of unflinching, unrelenting, & unapologetic tone deafness.
She might think about getting a new schtick. This one is so 2018.
Also:
I don’t care about her and her feelings; do you?
Meghan loved her father very much. I can excuse her excesses there. However, I can’t overlook the fact she is married to the fascist plagiarizer Ben Domenisch. He edits The Federalist, which is an anti-American rag that pretends to represent conservatives. There is nothing conservative about it, and their views are antithetical to John McCain’s. How her family goes along with this troubling attachment of hers is a mystery to me. I tend to think it’s a cover marriage of some sort for her?
If ABC hired Megan as a self-pitying, spoiled bore, then she’s great at her job. Does she actually expect any pity for getting a million a year when she has absolutely nothing to add? Oh sorry, she says “my father” really well.
This. Thank you.
She has defended Drumpf since he got elected, at one point even throwing a hissy fit at Maxine Waters that she ‘didn’t feel comfortable’ accusing Cheeto of anything. Yet she claimed Obama stayed in DC so he could possibly spy on said Cheeto.
So yeah, what the OP above said. Horrible.
If there’s anybody who knows about ‘caged animals’, it’s a Republican. That’s how they treat Black and Brown people.
Although I would love to see her go, it’s either A. Contract negotiation time or B. Fox news has a place for her (providing she lose at least 40 lbs- I mean she already has the Fox news look from the neck up). I find her exhausting to watch, very unlikable.
This just in: Spoiled millionaire whose father was locked in a cage as a POW, paradoxically defends the policy of locking innocent children and asylum seekers in literal cages as well.
Furthermore, said millionaire is paid millions more dollars to play the villain on a stupid morning talk show, at her own choosing. But because elitist liberal snowflakes might disagree with her sometimes (and don’t shoot guns and drink beer); she sees no irony in referring to her chosen situation as feeling like a hyperbolic “animal in a cage”. More news at 11.
There it is right there in a nutshell! Well done @Ladykatan!
So I haven’t clicked the link and I certainly have no love for Megan McCain and her political positions. That said, no job is worth it if you are miserable there. Being the sole conservative against four liberal women has to be utterly draining; if they balanced it a bit more by having 3 liberals and 2 conservatives (or 2 of each and 1 who is independent), it would likely be more tolerable.
I’m about as liberal as they come. When I worked and lived in Texas, it often felt like I was the only one in a state full of conservatives. Political discussions at work wore me down to the bone and there were several times where I had to be ‘please back off, let’s not talk politics, or I might be driven to tears’. It was a good job. It paid well. The people I worked with were lovely (excepting their differing political beliefs). But boy, I was happy to move on.
So yeah, if I were in Megan McCain’s shoes? I would probably want to move on. Or I would lobby hard for some supportive voices on the show. I mean, how can it really be ‘The View’ if only one viewpoint dominates?
The other girl that just had twins, Abby Huntsman, is the other Republican. She’s out on maternity leave.
Respected her father, but can’t stand her. She needs to rethink her approach to “persuasion”. Bashing, crying victim, talking over others, and increasing the volume are not persuasive techniques in my view.
Exactly. I loved Jedediah when she was on. She was the Republican point of view and was very classy.
“Caged animal”? How tone deaf is she in light of what is being done to children in Trump’s abhorrent detention centers?
She only lashes out at Trumps despicable behaviors when they involve her father. How she manages to lack empathy for every other person or group who is suffering by the hands of Trump is beyond me, but she seems to manage it effortlessly.
HMM. The quip at the end of the Knives Out trailer (“What is this? CSI: KFC?”) means one of two things: Either the screenplay called for Daniel Craig to sound exactly like Colonel Sanders and he NAILED it, OR Craig’s accent was so laughable that Rian Johnson added a line about Kentucky Fried Chicken. (Tom Hanks looked and sounded exactly like Colonel Sanders in the remake of The Ladykillers, and that’s what this hammy performance reminds me of)
One of the very few people in media I can’t stand. But then, I felt similar about Hasselbeck. Unfortunately, there is an aspect of western femininity that relates to the willfully unhinged. It seems to be a kind of survival strategy.
hmmm… Interesting choice of words.
I know where she can go to literally be caged like an animal. F*ck off, Meghan. Girl needs some therapy pronto.
oh, poor baby. Does she not get paid very, very well? She is certainly making more money per shoe vs. the crew on the show.
If she is so miserable, leave. Otherwise, act like an Adult.
Some people have more money than brains, shr can join them on their bench.
I love Joy Behar. I agree with her on 99 % of the things she says.
WORD.
