John McCain’s daughter, Meghan, is having a very bad week. And we’re not just talking about her hair extensions and blue eye shadow.
McCain drew criticism after she ordered President Joe Biden to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday’s episode of The View because he hasn’t personally called to inform her when she can expect her coronavirus vaccine.
“The fact that I, Meghan McCain, co-host of The View, don’t know when or how I will be able to get a vaccine because the rollout for my age range and my health is so nebulous, I have no idea when and how I can get it. If you call me at 3:00 in the morning, I will go any place at any time to get it,” she whined.

Since then, McCain has been the subject of widespread ridicule on Twitter. And things don’t seem to be letting up…
How about we take this to the next level?

Propagandist Meghan McCain says Dr Fauci should be fired for doing his job.
I say Meghan should be fired simply for being her.

Meghan McCain wants to see the manager of COVID.

Sorry @MeghanMcCain, but scientists aren’t politicians. we get it, you’re tired of Covid and want a vaccine. We don’t hire and fire scientists based on public opinion or your pandemic exhaustion and what you’re calling for is irresponsible.

Meghan McCain is calling for President Biden to fire Dr. Fauci.
I’m calling for ABC to fire Meghan McCain.

McCain hasn’t helped her case by digging in her heels further rather than, say, taking a moment to ask herself why people are denouncing her. She’s been snapping back at critics, doubling down on her argument and blasting those “sainting” Fauci.
He told me not to wear a mask and that masks don’t work when I was 3 months pregnant in the middle of Manhattan.
He then later admitted it was an intentional lie so we would donate masks to essential workers.
Now I’m being told to wear 2 masks.
But yes I’m “misguided”. ? https://t.co/HEGCPmMKsB

Wow, bringing my five month old daughter into this…
You all just turned into Trump and everything you all claimed to hate. You’re evil, just like him. https://t.co/o9mxTB6Y6Q

The messaging is incredibly inconsistent and confusing. I voiced my frustration honestly despite the fact that if you and twitter don’t like it, I represent the feelings of many Americans.
I also believe sainting our public figures to infallibility is dangerous and irrational. https://t.co/HEGCPmMKsB

She’s also been blocking people left and right on Twitter…

Here’s a clip of McCain bemoaning cancel culture last summer on The View while discussing Tucker Carlson‘s lead writer, Blake Neff, who was fired for maintaining a secret social media account where he regularly spewed homophobic, racist, and misogynistic bigotry.
“I am against cancel culture,” McCain said, adding, “I think one of the reasons why I’m always a proponent of Tucker Carlson is because I believe in diversity of opinion.”

Huh… so she does know what Freedom of Speech really means… and all this time pretending she didn’t.

“Wow, bringing my five month old daughter into this…”
She brought her into “this” first when her daughter was a sexless, 3 month old fetus.
“I also believe sainting our public figures to infallibility is dangerous and irrational.”
Because not once, not even a little bit after his death, have you ever tried to turn your father into an infallible saintly republican.
I’d tell her to have several seats but considering she does that for a living I’ll just laugh at the irony of her slowly turning into the one person she claims to hate so much.

Meghan McCain is the friendly face of the most right wing, racist, bigoted branch of the GOP. She lies and claims to be “Moderate” but her husband runs the right wing, bigoted website The Federalist, and Meghan regularly pushes out the same stuff that at the same time that they are publishing. Just like the Daughters of the Confederacy and Genteel southern politicians were the public friendly face of the KKK and hid their associations, Meghan is here to run cover for the worst elements of the GOP.
Remember, by attacking Fauci and complaining about the state of Covid today, she is attempting to absolve Trump and Congressional Republicans for everything they did to get us into the current mess.

That ridiculous heifer is only worth 2 words….DUMB BITCH!

OMG please get her off the air. She is the most self important person on national television. Keep your dumb fat ass home until your age group is eligible for the vaccine. That is up to YOUR STATE, not Dr, Fauci, I am done with Republican Ms. Piggy.

You beat me to the punch!

Meghan McCain is a disgrace in every way shape and form. The worst part is how she’s disgraced her father and his memory. I guarantee you he’s looking down and he’s not happy!

She ought to cancel herself and do us all a favor. Also, whoever’s mangling her hair really doesn’t like her that much.
