Pete Buttigieg appeared on The View this morning to speak about the great work he’s been doing as Secretary of Transportation, but that’s not what anyone’s talking about. Instead, they’re talking about Meghan McCain dressing up like a unicorn and then blaming it on her gay friends.

During a discussion about Dr. Jill Biden appearing on the cover of Vogue, John McCain’s daughter made the understatement of the century when she said she’s “not a fashion person at all” while criticizing the First Lady’s floral print dress.

Let’s jump right into the responses, shall we?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Here’s what people are saying…

@MeghanMcCain criticizing Dr. Biden’s dress while sitting on camera wearing this Toddlers & Tiaras, Under the Sea Little Mermaid half turban/headband hybrid on top of her head is just priceless! FIX IT JESUS! #TheView pic.twitter.com/uvW1F4hvgv

@MeghanMcCain doesn’t like what Jill Biden wears on the cover of the view, while she’s dressed like a cake topper at a My Little Pony party/

A note to Meghan McCain. Melania Trump is NOT as fashionable as Dr. Jill Biden, Michelle Obama and definitely NOT Jackie Kennedy Onassis. #TheView pic.twitter.com/1MqKrkRZSA

It is quite hilarious that Meghan McCain holds Vogue and Anna Wintour to a higher standard than that racist pig she's married to.#TheView

But our story doesn’t end there.
Evidently, McCain saw what people were saying about her and didn’t appreciate it because shortly thereafter she fired off an angry tweet defending her look, which she said was her way of honoring her LGBTQ friends during Pride.
“Today is the last day of pride month!” she wrote. “I felt like doing a little rainbowy/unicorny to celebrate my friends. Just having fun. Let a bitch live.”

OK, first, does anyone actually believe Meghan McCain has any gay friends?
And second, Meghan, if you’re reading, don’t blame us for your complete and utter lack of taste and terrible sense of fashion. We don’t claim you and we certainly don’t need you being “rainbowy/unicorny” on our behalves.
Here’s how folx are responding to Meghan’s tweet…
How can you “celebrate your friends” when you support the party that is actively trying to strip them of their rights and discriminate?!

Got the bitch part right
— Jody (@Jody88768222) June 30, 2021
You need to break up with your stylist.
— West Peg (@WestPeg) June 30, 2021
How about that anti-trans blog site your husband runs? You have no place in any Pride conversation. I don’t care what your one gay friend says.
— SeanBenét Ramsey (@sean_fry8) June 30, 2021
The biggest joke here is you pretending to celebrate Pride, while actively working to support candidates who will & have done everything in their power to take away equality for this community.
— Donna Tavoso (@dltav) June 30, 2021
You’re stylist clearly hates you, lol.
— The Homosexualist Zayo da Dong (@thingfish69) June 30, 2021
Love the performative activism . Your party does not not support the LGBT community
— attorney4cats (@attorney4cats1) June 30, 2021
It’s pride month not month. GET A CLUE. Your husband makes fun of this on Fox News doesn’t he????

No Miss Thang. Accept responsibility for YOUR horrible choices .. I know you’re a fame whore and you’re icky… And have NO taste in clothes ,or anything else for that matter…
Smith David
But you know one thing, I believe her. Cause what gay stylist in their right mind, would ever agree to dress this awful woman. I too blame the gays….LOL
Cam
Republicans will find anything they can to attack Dr. Biden.
The sad lie is that for ages Meghan McCain was presented as a moderate and the fact that her husband runs a virulently bigoted, anti-LGBTQ website whose conspiracies she parrots has been ignored.
Apparently the executives at ABC agree with her husband’s views because they keep promoting her hate.
jcool
i read that melania was offered a fashion shoot and article in vogue, but was not guaranteed the cover, so she turned it down

You can pay for fashion advice and actually expect to receive what you pay for. But of course, any decent fashion advisor has the right to tell you to go away.
It’s scary that I agree with Cam here. The network keeps you. Obviously for the money. I don’t agree that they approve of anyone’s political views, per se, they simply care about the $$$.
Cam
It won’t happen again soon. lol
As for McCain, notice how nothing is ever her fault? This time it’s “The Gays” that did it to her.
Liquid Silver
It’s the hallmark of the narcissist. See the same with Trump…or, frankly, with most other politicians, “business” people at the top, and so on.
Jay002
I don’t know where Megan McCain’s heart is when her father was dying Joe Biden showed her alll kind of love and support on national television. He didn’t think about what political party he belonged to he just did the right thing. Compared to when Michelle Obama said Donald Trump’s rhetoric put her family’s life at risk. Donald Trump came out and put more fuel on the fire instead of being a man and saying my issue is between President Obama and his administration please leave his family out of it. He continue being what Donald Trump is a heartless person. Megan McCain you can say something nice about Jill Bidens dress.
jcool
especially since ALL of media and politics has been kind about Barron and his obvious…………………..
Fahd
She looks just awful. With that get-up, she’s denigrating, not celebrating, any alleged gay friends she may have. In any case, anti-gay actions speak louder than outfits.
She seems like she’s on Prozac or a recent variant. That’s fine, if her doctor thinks it will help, but she just isn’t suitable for network TV. It will be managerial malpractice, if ABC allows her back on the View next season,
Heywood Jablowme
I’ve never once seen this show. And thanks to Queerty, I never have to!
Max
she previously said she liked to have fun with her style so don’t trash her for it. and here she is, just like a typical specific segment of Republicans — blaming someone else for her own shortcomings.
ShiningSex
She’s a dog
BoomerMyles
The way she talked over Whoopi, Joy and Sunny is just immature and disrespectful.
I hope her contract is not renewed.
GrizzleyMichael
She probably doesn’t even have any gay friends, and after what she said she never will. She is just a ugly miserable person and should be fired.
humble charlie
Don’t take Meghan so seriously. She’s a riot. What other woman would let someone do that to her hair?
When she finally connects her brain to her mouth, I’m sure she will start making sense.
Tombear
I find her hair and clothes very entertaining. Who else would wear cupidoll hair on national television?
butchqueen
Stop listening to stupid people. Bury her like the turd she is!!!
storm45701
The poor thing must be hard of hearing. They told her to “dress down”. She thought they said, “dress like a clown”.
Georgeiv2
Gay friend ? I challenge her and that homophobic piece of **** she is married to to name just one gay friend .Like all things Megan its in her head ! Why she is allowed to continue to profit from her fathers name beats me .
Cam
Meghan has “Decided to leave” The View even though it’s an easy job and she has a few years left on her contract.
Apparently “Decided to Leave” means “Was told she had to go and they would let her pretend to announce it as her decision”.
She was doing nothing but parroting her husband’s right wing, anti-LGBTQ, anti-American conspiracies.
Vince
Don’t they know who her daddy was? Meghan just needs to remind them for the millionth time.
butchqueen
She doesn’t HAVE any gay “friends” if they let her leave a dressing room looking like that.
deltabadhand
She has gay friends, remember? Nina West and Monet Xchange appeared in The View for her birthday and deemed her an official Ru Girl. Ain’t looked at either of them the same way ever since.
