Meghan McCain just implied she fears for her life after waging a Twitter war with awful, anti-LGBTQ Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and being called a “rabid dog” who “couldn’t even sell 300 copies of her book.”
Quick backstory: It all started a couple of days ago when someone called Lake a “maverick” on Twitter and Lake responded: “I’d hate to hurt Meg’s feelings. Someone called me ‘MAGA QUEEN’. While I love that, it probably belongs to Melania!”
“Maverick” was the adjective often used to describe the late John McCain during his 30+ years representing Arizona in the U.S. Senate.
I’d hate to hurt Meg’s feelings. Someone called me “MAGA QUEEN”
While I love that, it probably belongs to Melania!

For whatever reason, this set Meghan off.
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.
In a string of angry tweets, she called Lake a “b*tch”, a “hag”, “dried up”, and told her to “stay the hell away from me.” She also asked why, if Lake hates John McCain so much, “did the b*tch steal my dads [sic] nickname?” Then she called her a “sideshow freak” and a “lunatic.”
Now, McCain isn’t completely wrong in her assessment of Lake. As you may recall, Lake made headlines last month when photos of her partying with drag queens leaked online right after she joined her fellow Republicans in targeting drag performers, insinuating they’re all perverts and pedophiles. At the same time, there’s a strong argument to be made that McCain is calling the kettle black here.

Lake responded to Meghan’s nasty remarks by tweeted screenshots of them, along with the caption, “First you call me a b*tch, now you call me a hag? You’re really doing wonders for your family’s image, Meg.” She then made a jab at her poor book sales while offering a link to buy it on Amazon.
McCain’s latest book Bad Republican only sold 244 hardcover copies during its first month of release earlier this year.
Lake followed that up with an appearance on OAN, where she once again made a dig at McCain’s poor book sales and called her “irrelevant,” saying, “She couldn’t even sell 300 copies of her book. Nobody’s interested.”
She then went on to accuse McCain of acting like a “rabid dog who’s been corned… thrashing around… throwing a fit.”

Which brings us up to today.
Apparently, in Meghan’s mind, calling someone “irrelevant” and a “rabid dog” is tantamount to a death threat. This morning, the 37-year-old tweeted: “This is psycho, unhealthy and unhinged. If I ever go missing, please check this woman’s basement first please.”

OK, first, let’s not be dramatic, Meghan. And second, Lake may be a pile of garbage, but you initiated this whole thing when you called her a “b*tch” and a “hag”, so you don’t get to play the victim now.
Seriously, these two deserve each other.
Here’s how people responded to McCain’s “If I ever go missing…” tweet this morning:
You’re really not that important to go missing.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again- You enabled this kind of rhetoric when you told us we should lean in and listen And take heed to to MAGA-world, the people she’s speaking to, even if we don’t agree. You may not like her ways, but you legitimized it for years.

Not a fan of Kari but with exception of the “Swamp” comments… she was just spitting out facts.

Don’t expect anyone on tweeter to go looking for you. That’s the last thing they will do.

You republicans created this. You made a deal with the crazy right to get power. Reep what you sow.

Earlier this month, McCain revealed that she’s considering a run for office “in a few years.”
During an appearance on the British TV network GB News, she was asked if she’d ever consider following in her father’s footsteps and she replied, “Maybe in a few years. It’s the first time in my entire life I’ve ever considered it.”
Lord help us all.

Meghan McCain acts and speaks like white trash.

Ditto she needs her AK-15 to protect her land LOL all ten”s of it, just like the rest of the Wht Trash puching that crap, I miss Whoopie side-eyeing her on the view

Actually I think this is healthy. One imagines the entire Republican party (with its tail between its legs) meekly following in lockstep behind Failure 45, Q-anon, the NRA, FOX, Newsmax, the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, and various other traitors and lunatics attacking the Capitol. Aside from Liz Cheney, where are the dissenting voices? Are they all cowering in the shadows?
At the very least, these two bishes have the confidence to express conflicting opinions.

Meghan, Madison and Mario. The three stooges.

If Megan ever goes missing PLEASE DO NOT look for her. Bitch bye

Meghan has some serious impulse control issues. If she ever had to get a normal job her behavior may have gotten better, but she has never had to be in an office where her outbursts would have gotten her fired or disciplined.
dbmcvey
It is funny because conservatives like to claim that the left is out of control, but it’s really other conservatives they need to worry about.

There is nothing interesting about these people.

Shows just how low the Republican have become.

she brags about having gay friends……….what kind of damaged queer would not walk away after spending just five minutes with her> ? If you sincerely had no clue who she is she would reveal her awfulness almost every time she opens her mouth. Bad gays! Bad, Bad Gays!

Some gays will sell their soul to try and catch a ride with her on her dad’s corpse.

someone in her family (cindy) needs to report her to child services. shes armed to the nipples, has serious mental hate and anger issues, out of touch with reality, prone to go off a cliff at any tweet and her husband has too many “red-flags” to post here.

Jimmynj
Both of these women are unhinged and are unfit for public office, or public anything. John McCain must be spinning in his grave at what an idiot his daughter has become in the last several years.
