John McCain’s daughter, Meghan, has outdone herself yet again and perhaps nobody is more over it than Whoopi Goldberg.
This morning, McCain went on a truly bizarre rant about how she, Meghan McCain, co-host of The View, thinks “monarchies are stupid.”
Uproxx reports:
McCain used her time during the panel discussion to talk about her childhood playing George Washington with her siblings while touting the McCain family legacy of fighting in the Revolutionary War. While she eventually segued into an info dump on the popularity of Prince William and Kate Middleton and how some British citizens find Prince Harry and Markle’s interview to be poorly timed due to Prince Philip’s failing health, McCain returned to her rant about the proud American tradition of toppling monarchies, which she called “stupid.” It was all very weird, and yet very in character for McCain, who tends to make every topic about her.
“I do not want to defend the monarchy,” McCain said. “I’m a red-blooded 100% American who celebrates freedom anyway I can.”
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.
She concluded her soapbox diatribe by spewing some more barely coherent nonsense about how Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey are “single-handedly finishing what George Washington and our revolutionary counterparts did” (huh?) and that she is “all for it.”
And then came Goldberg’s reaction.

Goldberg’s response quickly went viral on social media. Within minutes, both “Whoopi” and “The View” were trending on Twitter.
Here’s what people are saying…

Meghan McCain is really the Piers Morgan of the View if you think about it. #TheView

I can't imagine achieving as much as Whoopi Goldberg has, after decades of hard work and acclaim, to finally be given a comfy position as host of a morning talk show, only to find out you have to listen to Meghan McCain the entire time you're there.

Since #TheView is still trending, I would like to share this view or Whoopi gathering Meghan McCain.

Whoopi treating Meghan McCain like the pathetic joke that she is was the highlight of The View. She theoretically whoops that ass everyday.

Just another Republican finding an excuse to attack Markle.
It’s amazing, the Party that always screams about patriotism, is SO racist and sexist that Republican’s knee jerk reaction is to take the side of a Monarchy as long as the person on the other side is a black woman.
Openminded
And you obviously didn’t comprehend a single bit of this story. Trolls have a way of doing that.
SaintRock
Hooray I agree with Mccain….. Royal Pains in the Arse…. Like the Sex Pistols God Save the Queen the Fascist Regime. Off with their heads. Why are Americans fascinated by this concept of royalty. Please Hallmark quit the Prince and Sappy Commoner movies. Yuk.
Cam
Except Meghan defended the Royals and attacked Harry and Markle for upsetting them.
jayceecook
Except Cam that is not what happened. AT ALL.

@jayceecook
I reread, your’re right, thanks for the correction!

McCain dishonors her father’s memory every time she opens her idiotic mouth.
tjay7
Her father was no Einstein either.
tjay7
Meghan McCain is starting to make Hasselbeck look smart something only goldfish used to do.
tjay7
McCain is the biggest Trumper on TV – if Trump hadn’t criticized her father she’d be covering her awful hair-dos with a MAGA cap everyday.
whatsaywhat
At least Harry had the courage to break free from the deranged cult he was raised in….
C*ntpig will oink on & on about her asinine GOP “values” as long as she can cash in on her dad’s name.
nathan
This moron simply confirms her own idiocy every time she opens her overly privileged mouth. In this latest attempt to seem educated and knowledgable, anyone with even a tenuous grasp of real American history will be asking what she means by ‘the experiment started by Wahington’. She seems to have bought into the children’s version of 1776, it’s causes and consequences. She also conveniently forgets that we have our own versions of a ‘royal family’ – the most obvious examples being the Kennedys and the Roosevelts.
It may well be that the Britsh royal family is ‘stupid’ – but then we have 76 million people who just recently voted for Trump. Nothing more stupid than that.

Cows gonna moo, pigs gonna oink, and talentless conservative hags are gonna shit from their mouths.
Vince
Lets face it though. This cow was brought on to replace the other conservative harpy so they have always had a balanced view. This was when she sort of sounded like the rational conservative. Of course no one really knew her other the McCains daughter at that point.
OhHellNo
Every time McCain speaks, Whoopi should wait three seconds, say “OK”, and continue on as if McCain hadn’t even spoken. Maybe occasionally bleat “OK” like Dave Chapelle as Lil Jon would.
radiooutmike
Can’t they find a well-spoken female conservative? I mean the only difference between her and Kayleigh McInenrny; is that her dad was John McCain.
One big failure of The View is that always pick a young conservative woman with hardly any life experience.
Openminded
The show is obviously heavy weighted liberal so they don’t really want the single conservative panelist to be intelligent enough to actually have a strong debate. I’m fine if the show wants to be liberal, but they should be honest enough to own it and not provide a “token” conservative just to make a feeble claim of fairness.

@Cam, i believe Meghan McCain is far from being a racist. One of her brothers is married to a Black woman and has biracial nieces and nephews she loves very much. if you didn’t look at her TV Show, ‘Suits” (which i did not) would anyone really know who Markle was prior to Marrying Harry. When they started dating I had to Google who she was. So stop with the wide Republican brush you paint with when a Republicans makes a comment you disagree with. It’s everyone’s right no matter what side of the aisle you’re sitting on. Damn, I just don’t understand how twisted your panties get when a Republican expresses their opinion. I believe Harry is miserable and she had a motive, Marry a Prince, spread for some kids, and i’m set for life. The statement she made about not knowing anything about the Royal family, I call BS on that one. Even here in the US, we knew about them. Even his friends say he’s miserable. She has him like a trained seal. Can’t have certain friends, cannot drink, eat meat, or go to the family shoot thats been a tradition for hundreds of years. I do believe the bullying probably did happen. As an independent woman, she probably did and say whatever she wanted. Just like any independent man or woman should. She’s a commoner just like the rest of us, and doesn’t know the traditions when marrying into royalty. She just went in all ghetto and when they told her no, she didn’t like it, whined a lot, got Harry on her side and here we are today. There’s already been inconsistencies in both of their stories. I believe we all should wait just a while longer as we really haven’t heard from the other side, just a small statement and then we all can decide Who’s been naughty and who’s been nice.There’s no one on this planet that can take a side hours later or make a statement saying it happened just the way Markle stated just because she’s black and a Democrat.
tjack47
I thought it was bizarre. I also thought the UK was one of our greatest allies. My late Dad’s family fought in the Revolutionary war plus. He was a cotton farmer. She has been much worse, since she had the baby. I think it’s changed her priorities, but I’m not certain to what.

The British Monarchy is nothing but a tourist attraction!
