Meghan McCain has a lot of friends and family who work around Capital Hill. How do we know? She just told us. Good on ya’, Meghan!
Her cringey comment kicked off an even cringier discussion with The View co-host Joy Behar about the troubling state of the GOP. Behar argued things aren’t looking good when the party vilifies Liz Cheney for speaking the truth and stays silent on Matt Gaetz‘s underage sex scandal.

McCain responded that, well, people in her party are privately embarrassed by Gaetz, just not enough to remove him from his position on the House Judiciary Committee.
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.
The conversation devolved quickly, ending with McCain throwing her hands up and yelling over the other hosts.
All in all, another really productive morning of television.

meghan mccain is asked a question about matt gaetz and responds with “what about this democrat, what about that democrat?” she finishes by saying she thinks gaetz is a low-life. way to stay on brand, no matter what the chosen subject is, bash multiple democrats before answering. her husband has coached her well.

Are there any repugnants with a sense of ethics or morals?

Motherhood hasn’t affected Meghan’s cactus charm.

Motherhood is not magic. Meghan McCain has been a myopic, elitist asshole her entire life. Why would squeezing a f*** trophy out of her rancid snatch make her a better person?
She’s gonna keep riding her father’s corpse for the rest of her life and shriek about cancel culture when The View ends and she doesn’t have any more entertainment gigs. It’s not like anyone watches The View for her. She’s just a dumber and fatter Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

From a recent Meghan McBrat tweet “Just a reminder, we’re all coming out of the pandemic very different people than we went into it. Let’s give each other grace, patience, humor, light…. These are rough times, our country needs to heal from the trauma and hopefully find some path forward to find common ground”.
Proof of the inverse relationship between self-awareness and self-absorption.

The View has a full blown Star Jones problem again. As contract renewal time looms, Meghan is trying to hold on tooth and nail with her argumentative, name-dropping style. As I’m sure the View’s show runners know, Meghan’s actual fans aren’t people who want to hear diverse points-of-view. Meghan and the View would be better off if Meghan migrated over to the Fox “News” channel. – Move over, Elizabeth.

Well said!

Translation: Republicans are more interested in covering for criminals than actually doing something to clean up the party.
Who cares if they are privately embarrassed if they are going on TV and defending criminals.
But no surprise, Meghan’s husband owns a website she helps fund that spits out a constant stream of anti-LGBTQ bigotry and conspiracy theories. She is trying to be this century’s version of the daughter’s of the Confederacy. Just like the DOC were the media friendly face of the KKK. Meghan is trying to be the media friendly face of the right wing Republican hate machine.

The View had its best ratings when “shut up Meg” was on maternity leave.

Ms. Domenech has not had an original thought EVER.

I have been a die hard View fan. I have to sadly admit it’s not a fun show anymore. Mostly because of Meghan. She’s just a brat. She sits there with a puss on her face. She answers ever question with “ Well democrats …” I enjoyed the show so much when she was on maternity leave. Whoopi, Joy, Sarah and Sunny are wonderful. Anna is so funny.
Yet the whole dynamic changes with Meghan. Lately I’ve just been FF thru her.

The self proclaimed princess of Arizona is just filling the GQP seat that was vacated by Elizabeth Hasselbitch when she was unceremoniously fired. I guess this panel needs one cray kook bc they can’t all stay on Fox News. Meghan protects a party that licked Trump’s behind after he insulted her own father. Meghan needs a therapist that likes a challenge

Of course, Another Meghan McCain article. So tiresome.
And no articles on Chrissy Tiegen. Interesting considering…
In one tweet she wrote, “God. Can we just come out and call the freaking show ‘America’s next top tr**ny’ because this s**t has been tr**tastic for the past five years.”
Two years later, in 2011, her views on the largely marginalized community apparently didn’t waver as she slammed the bill that passed, allowing gay men and women to legally marry.
“Beautiful day in NYC. Oh wait, no I mean it’s terrible!” she wrote. “Complete anarchy now that gays can marry! Tea party was right!”
Yes, but bash Meghan because she doesn’t align with your political views. Grow a spine.

Soooo nothing about the article? Or did you even read it. Because, if you bothered, you would know that “whataboutism” isn’t working for Maghan either.

Translation: The right wing troll account desperately defending any Republican that throws a tantrum.

Mailliw110,
Figured there would be the one that simpliflies my concerns as ‘whataboutism’.
Try critical thinking, and maybe you’ll understand.
My issue is the lack of articles and/or zero articles on Chrissy Tiegen’s homophobic tweets.
But of course, there is on Meghan McCain
Queerty journalist are a bunch of cowards. They don’t call out those that align with their political beliefs, even if the individual is clearly homophobic (AKA Chrissy).
Read her disgusting tweets about the LGBTQ community. And not one article?
Laughable. Bunch of cowards.
boblrice
Hey GaysForTrump, you keep on tryyying to push this narrative about Tiegen when in you obviously don’t get it.
At the time of the tweet where she said “tr**ny”, this was a term used by the likes of Rupaul. Yes, we’ve all grown some, but her tweet was in no way anti-trans. And anyone with any sense can see that. It’s called context.
Secondly, in your very own gay marriage quoted comment it’s VERY clear she was being sarcastic and making fun of the Tea Party.
It’s obvious you do not get sarcasm. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t translate well across language barriers?
So quit with this one. NO ONE here or at Queerty is going to acknowledge outrage over homophobia that does not exist.

Is there just one (1) Republican out there that can tell the truth about their party????
randeman
No.
GaysForTrump
Do you prefer Joy to be in her blackface get up over Meghan’s republican views? Curious.

“Capital Hill”??? Is that a small mountain made out of money? It’s Capitol Hill, Queerty. Please, please, please hire yourselves a copy editor/proofreader.

Before the bashing ends… which one of the panelists showed support for journalism and Assange? None. Assange was a hero journalist when he published the truth about Sarah Palin; but, his publishing conservative Democratic emails earned him years and years and years in jail and isolation.
The difference between these ladies is their brand of neoliberalism. Don’t feel you must choose either side. Journalism is about publishing the actual truth.
Don’t pick a card from a loaded deck. All of these ladies would sell their soul for cash.
Cam
In other words, ignore Meghan McCain and her support for her husband’s bigoted and conspiracy laden website, as well as her using tantrums to silence other while you deflect from her by posting about a completely random topic on here.

Will someone please teach that spoiled brat some manners ! She is the most ignorant person to listen to ! Why does she take personal offence when someone does not agree with her, for whatever reason ? One other thing, she needs to learn to speak, when she is spoken to, not butt in like a damn child having a hissy fit.

ABC, when will you guys stop letting Meghan McCain keep that job? She’s an effing idiot!
