I am about fucking tired of Meghan saying the audience is "triggered" when she talks about My Father. No, it is just that every time she says it, we are reminded that he is the only reason she is assaulting our ears and eyeballs Monday through Friday on The View. I detest this woman and if she were to somehow spontaneously combust during one of her rants, well, that would be just awesome. Hey View producers this would be great for sweeps and I know y'all like sparks.

Yes for someone who claims to be her own person and making it on her own she sure does refer to the reason she even has a career an awful lot.

Some of the insurrectionists used American flags/flagpoles to assault Capitol Police.  They literally used our flag as weapons.

Yes, and Crenshaw, whom Meghan respects and adores, voted against creating a bipartisan committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection.  So he may have spoken or tweeted against it, but he wasn't outraged enough to want people held accountable. Unlike his view of black athletes and PEACEFUL protest.

FYI Denver Viewers: if you have cable and its being pre-empted on KMGH, they are playing it on KCDO.  I wish they would have scrolled this info, i just stumbled across it about 1/2 way in

[burghgal]

Whoopie was really talkative and laughing today considering what she is going through.

The best part about today is after MeAgain's rant in the first segment, she was basically ignored for the remainder of the show.  She didn't give any input about whether she would leave her husband behind in TSA Pre-Check. I do find it funny when she rails against free speech because she never learned to properly hold a conversation, make a valid argument and know when it is time to shut up .

That was one doozy of a story "My Father: told his young children on Christmas...LOL.... Just what I want to hear on Jesus's birthday, a story about torture and the American flag.

Just heard her rant and continue to wonder why she is such an angry, unhappy person; however, I no longer care.  I just want her to disappear, and the spontaneous combustion would be a wonderful remedy. Everyone else on the panel has had a parent or parents who have died, but she seems to feel she is the only one to experience the loss. No matter what the topic is, she always brings it back to her "put upon" life. How can someone so miserable have the friends that she constantly refers to, or to whom she constantly refers.

I doubt she has that many actual friends. I do believe, however, she has had a lot of acquaintances through the years that have been friendly to her to use her as a vehicle to achieve their own goals whether it be a job on Capitol Hill or whatever.

Presumably anyone she's ever met once or twice is now a "friend."

ETA:  Edited out the first part of my response as I had skimmed Axie's post and the first part of my response was just reiterating what she said.

Also people she follows on Twitter and people who follow her on Twitter.  Social media has made people think they have a lot more "friends" than they really do.

[RealHousewife]

I've thought for years Meghan cares more about the flag than black life. 

For someone who's that passionate about the military, she has the same service as me. ZERO. You've done nothing to prove you'd die for the country Meghan. You not only haven't served to protect us, you raise the blood pressure of Americans every morning!

I wonder if she ever quotes her old friend Tia Tequila? 

I can't believe well actually I can, she turned  the conversation about the Olympic athlete back on herself, and how her beliefs are not allowed....what the actual F?  When has humping the flag by the Right not been allowed?

Wow, she is such an idiot. Great article below.

MeAgain McCain makes Gwen Berry's flag protest all about her dad...and Putin

Quote

The View’s Meghan McCain upped the ante on performative right-wing outrage over U.S. Olympian Gwen Berry’s flag protest on Tuesday, suggesting that Berry’s actions were a “national security issue” that could be weaponized as propaganda by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And, of course, she also made sure to invoke her father while slamming Berry.

....Claiming she has heard “every argument possible” for athletes engaging in social justice protests, the conservative host said the biggest problem she has is that Berry is “doing this internationally.” (Apparently, McCain was unaware that this particular protest took place in Portland.)

....While bemoaning that Berry is making this about herself, McCain then made the issue explicitly about herself.

“For some reason, my relationship with the flag isn’t allowed,” she complained. “My love of the American flag, my love of the national anthem!”

She then went on to warn viewers that she was going to bring up her father, the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in order to further make her point that Olympic athletes need to respect the flag and anthem.

“I know it’s very triggering for people and people get very upset when I talk about my dad, for whatever reason, which is why I really stopped doing it on the show unless it’s really meaningful to me,” McCain stated before delivering an anecdote about her dad’s time as a POW.

I didn't see that, but there is a lot of activity on #TheView on Twitter.  Meghan is getting bashed on there.  Check it out.

So,both hair and makeup hated her today?  The dark lip liner and the horrible hair!  She does look like something from There’s Something about Mary.  Really bad.

If SNL ever does another skit about The VIew, I would like to see, them cutting back and forth from the full panel to the individuals, and each time Meghan is on screen, she has a different, more ridiculous, hairstyle.

[Haleth]

On the one hand Meghan is a huge supporter of an activist who criticizes the government (Alexei Navalny), on the other hand she is appalled by an activist who criticizes the government (Gwen Berry).  Go figure. 

[Pearson80]

Megan is just a vile human being and she has pretty much said today that she does not give a damn about the plight of minorities in this country because we offend her sensibilities when we remind people like her that America has not lived up to her promise of liberty and justice for all.  We are all supposed to sit down shut up and just accept injustice and abuse because this is America damn it! love it or leave it!

Megamouth wonders why people get so 'triggered' when she mentions MyFather ? It's not an audience being triggered - it's an audience being bored. 

After she shared the 'Christmas morning story told by MyFather', I was hoping Joy would pipe up and respond, "Oh you poor thing. Christmas should be a day of rejoicing and happiness. Not one of depression. That's awful your father punished you like that."

Did anyone else catch Sara's goog about standing up an honoring the 'f**' ? She quickly said 'flag' right after.  Atta girl, Sara ! 

[heysmilinstrange]

I'm sure that Meghan's dad spent his days in that POW camp just dreaming of the day his daughter would act like a total asshole in his memory.

That is so odd, someone "getting the crap beat out of them, " story is not a Christmas story, it's clearly a 4th of July story. I'm so offended, and so is baby Jesus .

Yes, I can just picture them gathered around the Christmas tree listening to this story EVERY year.  Not.  I call BS on this.  It might have rung a bit more true if this story-telling happened on the 4th of July or any patriotic holiday.  But Christmas?  What joy.

[maggiemae]

MM makes me crazy.

Notice not one comment from her about Tucker Carlson calling General Milly a pig...as Joy pointed out.

Or the flags used as weapons on 1/6...and how Crenshaw voted against a bipartisan commission about 1/6.

Then she rages on about daddy and his sad Christmas morning story she listened to for years as a kid. Which actually had nothing to do with this since the flag represents our freedoms here.

Yes she said her relationship with the flag is not allowed. What kind of relationship is she having with the flag?  She is so predictable.  Once again she is presenting herself as some kind of victim because she can't do what exactly?

Meghan doesn't experience injustice and abuse (in her mind yes but in reality no) so yes she thinks America is great and if you can't see that then you are the problem.  It's easy to worship the flag when your whole life has been about having things handed to you simply because you were born a white rich woman.  She will never understand the struggles of people of color or even white people who are lower income because she simply does not care.

IMO she does it solely to remind the rest of us that she is Meghan Mccain - but that aside if any of the hosts interjected constant stories about their children wouldn't we all be just as irritated even if we could understand that the need to tell adorable moppet stories comes from a place of love?  Time and place comes to mind,

Remember when she attacked Abby for trying to talk about her children on a topic about children? But she thinks her father is relevant to every discussion.

Kathie Lee Gifford did that a lot.

On the flip side Meghan rarely speaks about her kid.

She has decided she is a political pundit and that is all she wants to talk about.  The topic could be tacos and she would make it political.

[catlover79]

Another day, another hideous hair accessory on Meghan. Ugh.

[Haleth]

I think they are all missing the point about breastfeeding at the Olympics. I would guess it was a covid thing - they are not allowing families to attend. The rule was about health concerns, not pearl clutching about breastfeeding.  Changing the rule to accommodate moms is allowing additional people (babies and caregivers) into the bubble.

Why is the Princess wearing a crown?

Well I guess Miss Meghan will NOT be on the cover of Vogue Magazine!  Goodness, talk about trashing a publication.  I am not a Vogue reader, so I guess I am not a Fashion Expert, but I thought Dr. Biden looked lovely & I dont know why Meghan went off on a rant.

[Sharper2002]

Meghan seriously lost me on her talking points about Vogue.

Plus, I thought she was wearing a crown on her head for a second and I thought she was taking that Princess of Arizona title seriously. 

[GHScorpiosRule]

Best thing I did, taking this shitfest off my dvr.

McCain thinks the only way Democrats can be bipartisan is by filling their administration with Republicans... No wonder she's enraged at Biden all the time, she thought she would be getting a Republican administration from a Democrat. LOL

She loses me on almost everything.  

The dress itself may not be "Vogue cover worthy" but it's a style that Dr. Biden seems comfortable with and works for her. 

 

[tableau vivant]

I didn't need to see the photo of her breastfeeding Liberty the day she returned to an ABC studio. I was shocked she didn't have a picture of MyFather on the countertop in front of her. 

MeAgain also said she's surprised we're in the 21st Century and we're no further along in childcare / maternity care. No one asked her what MyFather did to push this forward in all the years he was in the Senate ?

Yep - I like that she has her own style and is happy with herself.  And can we ever reach a point where what a woman wears is not more important than what she has to say and what she does?  I feel like I've been waiting a lifetime for that to happen.  Oh, wait, I have.

Excuse me Missy, but the Canadian basketball player didn't say anything about breast feeding or having a baby being a burden ... you ignoramus!!!

[TheGreenKnight]

The reason she went full-throated attack on Vogue is because she automatically attacks anything she perceives as liberal. She does the same thing with any actor (whether she knows their personal politics are not). I did notice she talked about how the First Family is like American "royalty." That makes sense considering her flag worship yesterday, but I thought she hated the British royalty (somethingsomething about Meghan Markle finishing George Washington's war on the British, lol)? I suppose that explains part of her ego, too, since she sees her family as part of the American royalty (which includes her as Princess of Arizona), nevermind the fact that her family never made it to the White House.

It's true. But when the shoe is on the other foot her response to bipartisanship is nope we don't need any bipartisanship.

It's how entitled Meghan is. She thinks the government should always be ran according to her beliefs.

[After7Only]

I don't think MM really caught the irony of her rant against Vogue as an institution with a deep intense racist legacy.....    It's not like Vogue exists in a bubble and is entirely different than other American institutions.....  If only those other institutions would work on reconciling its legacy with race....and if her party was interesting it discussing and working on that.....LOL......
