Meghan McCain was reminded over the weekend that you can’t be BFFs with a bunch of homophobes and take part in the celebration of a same-sex couple starting a family.
Over the weekend, John McCain’s daughter tweeted her congratulations to Pete and Chasten Buttigieg on the birth of their twins, Penelope Rose and Joseph August.
“Awwwww, congratulations!!!!!!!!” she wrote, along with a string of emojis, including hearts, stars, prayers, and American flags.
Awwwww, congratulations!!!!!!!! ?????????????????????????????????????????? https://t.co/NtYrFSYz4o
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) September 4, 2021
Now, it’s always nice to send a person well wishes upon the birth of a new child. Or, in Buttigieg’s case, twins.
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.
Except when you’re married to a raging homophobe and you’ve built your entire career on hitching your wagon to antigay politicians, media personalities, zealots, and other extremists. Then you’re not welcome at the gayby shower.
Sorry, Meg.
Twitter was quick to remind McCain of this…
Nice of you to congratulate them but you were rude to him on @TheView

I’m pretty sure their ideals don’t quite align with yours.

When can we expect your husband’s publication to spew out it’s usual bigotry about this wonderful news,Meghan?
— E S (@BengalTigerKS) September 5, 2021
💯. I think Megyn knew that this news would be widely welcomed. She checked how the wind would blow and decided to be on the correct side. Gets her the attention she craves. She’ll vote for politicians who would like to ban gay couples from adopting though. Makes no sense.

All you ever said was bad things about him on The View
— Heather Stock (@serendipity9926) September 5, 2021
Meghan, please, you could not care one bit about these 2 lovely men! You always have to insert yourself into everything…stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.
— Debra H. Gold (@DebraGold7) September 4, 2021
You hate him come on now
— johnizonline (@johnizonline) September 4, 2021
She be attacking Pete and infrastructure next week.
— Yvonne Mullet (@YvonneMullet) September 5, 2021
Reading the hateful comments to your tweet is just a reminder of who your followers are and Your hate hate speech each and every day … Pete Buttigieg does not need your congratulations
— Tracey Schwartz (@phillygirl11) September 4, 2021
Over the years, McCain frequently used her platform on The View as well as Twitter to trash Buttigieg.
During the 2020 Democratic primaries she dismissed his historical candidacy as nothing more than a “sparkly, shiny object” with no substance or appeal to anyone beyond LGBTQ voters. When he went on to win the Iowa primary, she mocked his victory as nothing more than a “participation trophy” then accused him of “millennial” behavior.

today was the new season episode of The View, its 25th anniversary show. it was highly watchable. why? Meghan McCain wasn’t on it anymore.

Who in their right mind still watches the ‘view’? This waste of intelligence and an hour of valuable time that can’t be reclaimed has long outlived its relevance and needs to go the way of the manual typewriter. Time for ABC to cancel the ‘view. When this came on the air 25 years ago it was a relatively decent talk show. The ladies at the time were polite and respectful and welcomed guests with differing ‘views’ without getting rude and obnoxious. Over the years it’s become an ultra liberal ‘bitch fest’ hosted by a bunch of old hags who’re perpetually on the ‘rag’ with nothing better to do than sit around and kvetch about anything and everything conservative. And really who can stand joyless behar? This old hen has nothing positive to say about anything and the same can be said about all of the other ladies who’re on this show. The show should be retitled ‘my view only;’. Really that’s about what it really is as no guests with opposing opinions or views have a chance to be heard and treated with respect.
Cam
@winemaker
What a shock, the same old right wing troll that doesn’t like “Liberals” uses a bunch of sexist insults to attack women.
Your troll game is boring and old.
barryaksarben
shouldnt it be whinemaker? Horrible troll stil still coming here thinking we havent figured you out go away you are just tiresome. Hi LAR i ous
D_Bro
I totally agree. While they all didn’t agree on the topics, they discussed them in a mature manner. No screaming or whining.
Cam
The problem with our media compared to media in countries like Australia, is that our media will just repeat anything people say.
So Meghan McCain claims she supports LGBTQ people and our media reports it, rather than pointing out that her money supports a bigoted hate filled website, and she supports rabidly homophobic political candidates.
Our media needs to start calling out this hypocrisy regularly.
Selverd
For all her faults, Meghan has repeatedly spoken out in support of gay rights since at least 2009.
And are you just assuming that she helps fund her husband’s website because they’re married, or is there something more?
Cam
@Selverd
Meghan has said what she needed to say because she was on TV. But she has regularly defended and supported politicians who are rabid bigots while attacking ones who support LGBTQ rights, she has pushed out conspiracies that came directly from her husband’s website, and what I really love is that you’re trying to claim that her husband, who has no money of his own, is somehow funding his website himself without any money from his multi-millionairess wife.
Your trolling is sad if you think you can just claim that somebody isn’t a bigot because after behaving in bigoted ways they CLAIM they aren’t. Sad.
Selverd
@cam You are aware that her support of gay rights predates The View, and her husband’s website predates their relationship, right?
Caddy4J
@Cam, I hope you’re also talking about and calling out The hypocrisy in the Democratic Party,
Pelosi, Schumer, Pencil neck Schiff, As well as a few here on Queerty, like yourself. You see, I don’t stoop to your gutter level mentality every time you disagree with someone that posts, or, if they disagree with you, the first thing out of your mouth is right wing troll. SAD!!! That is you…
Max
@Caddy4J
you wrote “pencil neck Schiff”. Trump, the 2016-2020 president on the right wing party, coined that childish nickname for that senator. don’t you think repeating that is low and hypocritical?
ScottOnEarth
Cam, do you drink hate juice for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I swear, you spew so much unnecessary hatred and nonsense at complete strangers. You are the classic keyboard bully who has to rant and rave at someone whose opinion you don’t agree with. You seem like a smart guy but you should grow up and just stop wasting so much time being so negative and awful. And, no, not everyone with an opinion that you disapprove of is a troll.
Cam
@Caddy4J and @ScottOnEarth
It’s cute that you keep trolling, keep stealing people’s names, and continue to be obsessed with me.
I love how you cannot defend against any of my comments about Meghan so then cry and ask about drinking “Hate Juice”.
That’s your old troll line isn’t it? Try to defend hateful bigots by pretending that pointing out their hate and bigotry is “Mean”.
Your troll game is still sad and weak, but your obsession with me is still worth a chuckle.
Mehki
@Selverd Not for nothing, but I couldn’t be married to a bigot and have kids with him so he could infuse my children’s lives with bigotry.
So she’s a liar and a hypocrite.
Lip service doesn’t count for anything.
Selverd
We don’t know what their personal life is like. Maybe Meghan made it clear to him that he wouldn’t act like that with their children. Maybe she’s tried to change him. Maybe he acts different around her. Maybe she just latched on to him because he supported her when her father was sick.
I would like for her to address it, but I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt for now.
Cam
@Selverd
Maybe Maybe Maybe.
The only thing sadder than a troll who flat out lies, is the troll trying to invent a false narrative.
I can easily turn this around and claim that Meghan is the bigoted one in the family and demands her husband attack LGBTQ people on his website. See how “Maybe” works?
Selverd
@cam yes, we don’t know either way. Which is why I’m only judging her on what I do know as opposed to you who makes up stuff with no basis in fact, like saying that she’s funding his website because she’s rich.
Cam
@ScottOnEarth
Except you aren’t judging her on what we know. You keep ignoring her hate and bigotry and then inventing phony stories to pretend she isn’t all about that.
You always come in with the exact same lines to defend her no matter what Screename you’re hiding behind.
Selverd
@cam lol I joined this site in 2013 but keep on accusing anyone with a different opinion of being a sock puppet. And speaking of “phony stories,” you still haven’t shown how you know Meghan is funding her husband’s website.
Liquid Silver
If you ignore him, he’ll eventually figure out the voices are in his head and take his meds, then go away for a day or so until the orderlies forget about him again.
stanhope
Hateful heifer…moooooooo. Ass as wide as the sahara, face like elsie the cow, lucid as aunt clara looking for her door knobs. Bye cow.
Terrycloth
Maybe Meghan and her husband could be total opposites ..look at George Conway and his wife Kelly Anne Conway…he HATES Trump she works for him…I find it hard to believe Meghan doesn’t support her husband there are too many tweets and view video clips that say otherwise
Roy Moss
All Republicans are rotten subhumans driven by nothing more than ignorance, hate and greed, why would McCain be any different?
Ronbo
Will this condensed post also be censored?
“All Republicans are…” is somewhat like saying ‘all gays are’ … ‘all blacks are’… ‘all women are’ etc…. It’s just elevates bigotry.
I’m not defending Republican bigotry, I just don’t think that MORE bigotry is the answer.
nitejonboy
You can’t have it both ways, you ignorant c_nt…you can’t trash someone one minute then congratulate them and expect everyone to forget…what’s the word for that..blue waffle ??
Roy Moss
I think twatwaffle would be appropriate in Meghan’s case…
Bengali
But “my father…my father…my father…my father”. Stupid bi*ch she is.
Fahd
Just like Ivanka and Melania, Meghan is beyond redemption – there’s no way for Meghan to congratulate the gay parents without it seeming like an insincere attempt to insert herself for some cheap publicity. But, she’s going to tweet and do whatever she wants, I’m just glad it seems to be to an ever decreasing audience. Any remaining Meghan fans are beyond redemption themselves, so I plan to move on.
HenryHawke
Why are we talking about Meghan McCain? She was an irrelevant nobody then and she’s an irrelevant nobody now. Her one and only claim to fame was “daddy” whose memory she uses to whip her bottom.
Jim
Yes, Meghan is a media whore air head, but could she possibly have been being sarcastic?
Cam
Meghan is still trying to get attention. ABBA just announced they are releasing a new album and Meghan used it as a chance to tweet and say “My Father”.
fur_hunter
…….Sing to the tune of ‘Nothing like a Dame’ from South Pacific…………. She is just a f*cking C*NT!……….. Nothing but a C*NT……… She is just a f*cking C*NT…….. She is just a….. f*ck….. ing…… C*NT!!!!
Tombear
Megan’s hairdresser hates her!
BoomerMyles
It’s been a pleasure not having to see her on The View.
The other co hosts are so much happier and it shows.
I haven’t seen Whoopie so engaged in the discussions. She’s got this happy energy.
And Mia Love as the conservative guest host was surprising how a reasonable measured opposing voice can be.
Don’t miss nutMeg AT ALL!
And she specifically called out Queerty as “bullshit”.
The real Bruce
I haven”t watched “the View” in years. But to read some of the comments from some of you guys, it seems like its all you do. And then some of you bitch about some of the people on the show that you disagree with. Why do you watch the damn show in the first place? And some of the sniping at each other, calling people trolls (that’s you Cam) and saying people are “hiding” behind different screen names(really Cam!) Sometimes I agree with Cam 100% on several topics. But when you go playing “brat on the playground” over something so minor(yes, MINOR Cam), I start to lose my respect for you. And I don’t want to. Let’s all of us that post comments here show some kindness with each other. After all, we are ALL humans.
rickywintour
Shut the hell up Bruce. You didn’t add anything interesting or of substance. Just wanted to bitch which is what you said we al do. So welcome to the club. You must be a Republican like Meghan so go away. Your not wanted here troll.
