How was your weekend? It was probably better than Meghan McCain‘s.
Meghan–who is John McCain’s daughter, in case anyone forgot–was completely obliterated by Steve Schmidt on Twitter.
It all started when the Washington Examiner reported that her new book “Bad Republican” has only sold 244 copies since its hardcover release last month.

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.
When Schmidt pointed out this piece of factual information, Meghan responded in typical Meghan fashion… by liking a tweet someone wrote falsely accusing him being a pedophile.
And that’s when John McCain’s 2008 campaign manager went off, declaring the former The View co-host a “spoiled rotten, entitled bully” and “fourth generation wannabe” who is wholly “unaccomplished” in life.
“Everyone who has ever worked with Meghan McCain from ABC, The View, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and a thousand others have seen the unfiltered version of what the whole of America has seen,” Schmidt wrote, recalling the time he had her kicked off the McCain campaign’s plane in 2008 “because of her outrageous behavior.”
But that was just the opening act.
“I was the first adult that Meghan McCain ever encountered that she heard the word NO from,” he continued in a new thread about the then-24-year-old. “I told her she was unimportant and that the Presidential election wasn’t about her.”
From there, Schmit detailed how Meghan’s own father “was appalled” by her behavior on the campaign trail. He also accused her of throwing “tantrums” that “were beyond anything I have ever witnessed from any other human being.”
“Raging, screaming, crying, at the staff, at the makeup people at Secret Service,” he wrote.

After declaring that he was finally breaking his silence “after 14 years of abuse and attacks,” Schmidt concluded the epic read with a scathing final shot: “She has rejected her Family’s history of service for a shallow and purposeless celebrity where she trades on a famous name like a fourth generation wannabe clipping coupons while pretending to be an heir.”
McCain hasn’t responded to Schmidt’s Twitter tirade against her… probably because she’s still locked in the bathroom crying about it.
Here’s how people on Twitter are reacting to the whole thing…

Meghan McCain: “do you know who my dad is?”

Steve Schmidt completely eviscerating Meghan McCain was the mother's day gift I didn't even know I wanted.

Only someone as soulless and trashy as Meghan McCain would use her dead father’s tombstone to promote her flop of a book. pic.twitter.com/gBye2mw3NX

My tweet about Meghan McCain's book officially has more likes than the amount of people who bought it.

Never bring a Meghan McCain to a Steve Schmidt fight.

I didn’t think this was possible, but Meghan McCain might be having a worse weekend than Madison Cawthorn.

I’m not even gonna lie. I done made it so I get notified when Steve Schmidt tweets. I’m unapologetically here for the next episodes of the “Drag Meghan McCain for Filth While Taking No Prisoners” series.

Who wants to see #TheView have Steve Schmidt on to discuss Meghan McCain?

I don't get why only 244 copies of Meghan McCain's memoir have been sold so far, do people not know who her father is?

Steve Schmidt has done more Twitter threads on Meghan McCain in the last 24 hours then Meghan McCain has sold books.

Mister P
Mr Schmidt had a very eloquent way of saying STFU.

Nothing Schmidt said about her surprises me, but I’m really not there for his redemption. He is responsible for making Sarah Palin a national “figure”, and he is one of the key architects of the Republican party shifting its focus to demagoguery and trying to win votes by appealing to every deep-seated, repugnant prejudice (see the tangerine palpatine).
Steve Schmidt as the good guy? Not to me. Meghan’s rise to where she is now, appearing so frequently on Queerty, is directly related in part to Schmidt’s decisions during her father’s campaigns.
jcool
steve schmidt is one of the founders of the lincoln project. he’s totally anti-trump.
Mundo
Exactly. It’s important to remember from where Palin came… a feeble attempt to appeal to the worst of us.
THAT Steve
I could be wrong but wasn’t Schmidt against Palin as the choice and was overrule? Not saying his pick would have been less of a dumpster fire but McCain’s misjudgement resulted in our suffering through Palin’s being a national figure, not his.
Fahd
@Thatsteve
I believe you are wrong. With the help of “never Tr*mper Republicans” Schmidt has persisted (been “rehabilitated”) as a political operative. Working together, they have revised some of Schmidt’s history. Schmidt actually was the individual who “discovered” Palin. McCain accepted her when it seemed that he needed a Hail Mary play to win.
For similar rehab efforts, see Ken Mehlman
Cam
Schmidt has now gone even further, admitting that McCain lied about not having an affair with a lobbyist and that he had Putin connected people like Paul Manafort’s partner running his campaign.
Meghan thought she could lash out and ended up harming the legacy of her father, and his legacy is the ONLY thing getting her work.

I always thought it was good advice to never get into a pissing contest with someone who knows, not only, where the bodies are buried, but when they were buried and what put them there.

I cannot…. C A N N O T….. wait to see her response. But I think we will not. She may sit this one out.

That’s highly doubtful, but anything’s possible, though, I guess.

careful or she’ll stress eat.
ho
Any other questions?
Yes Meghan, who does your hair?

someone as clueless as meghan mccain shouldn’t leave herself that wide open. shes landed on her ass most of her life and obviously isn’t getting any at home from her tiny dick husband.

The pic of her and baby, and her hocking her book at her dad’s gravesite is priceless,
