Conservative The View co-host Meghan McCain has sparked conversation again, this time over a tweet slamming New York lawmakers and declaring the city a “war zone.”
“My neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated and looks like a war zone,” McCain tweeted June 2. “DeBlasio and Cuomo are an utter disgrace. This is not America. Our leaders have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities burn to the ground and be destroyed. I never could have fathomed this.”

Neighbors of McCain, as well as fellow New Yorkers, quickly chimed in to push back against her claim.
How about we take this to the next level?

“I was in NYC yesterday, midtown, uptown and the Bronx,” replied Allyson Levitas Tanis. “I saw nothing that looked remotely like a war zone. POTUS is inciting violence. NYPD are inciting violence. Protesters are fighting for their lives. Stop with the white girl drama.”

“Hahaha, no,” tweeted comic Sean Kent. “The President has failed us and your husband is a plagiarist hack who could only get a job at at that piece of sh*t The Federalist.” Kent’s remarks refer to McCain’s husband Ben Domenech, a controversial conservative writer who lost his job at The Washington Post after plagiarizing several articles.
Hahaha, no. The President has failed us and your husband is a plagiarist hack who could only get a job at at that piece of shit The Federalist.

Media whore.

Republicans always have to lie, to make America dangerous and scary, so their voters will vote for them.
Meghan put out a statement that was somewhat supportive of George Floyd, then what happened is what ALWAYS happens with her.
Looks like hubby told her to do what Republicans always do. Lie, play victim and pretend that crowds of dangerous minorities are screaming at the gates. All to scare voters.
Her right wing husband who was sued for Plagiarism and founded a far right bigoted website that has been pushing out racist conspiracies about the protests.
This time, McCain got caught very publicly. She lied, She was exposed. Business as usual for her.

But Cam, she has like umm, gay friends and lets not forget she and Whoopie are besties and stuff.

@UlfRaynor

meghan is just a fat, entitled, c u next tuesday that should be fired off that show.
D_Bro
Enough with the fat shaming. Go after her for her politics or her husband’s plagiarism, but fat shaming is no more than bullying and on the level with tRump and his cronies.

When you’re afraid of your right-wing lunatic husband, you do and say as he says.

“Burning cities to the ground”? Really, bitch. Sounds like you are mirroring trump’s habit of lying and exaggerating. STFU.
vashonm
Come to find out she is not even in the city! Lol she is a lying clown, haven’t been in the city few a few weeks
Cam
It is reported she left the city weeks ago. So McCain LIED so she could attack the protests and make it look like NYC was destroyed.
This is beyond a simple lie, she was trying to paint the protests as having destroyed her neighborhood to invalidate them. Her husband runs a racist and bigoted website she helps fund and she is trying to subtly do his work.

Megan needs and should be held accountable for her lies! But in the end shw is just like trump
