Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick

[Silver Raven]

Rachel was so chill on The Real World.  She's changed tremendously.  I blame her husband.

[maggiemae]

Actually, imo, Nicole Wallace was the best R they ever had on.

Fortunately she then was fired and got her own show on MSNBC.

I don’t know the status of their friendship, but I saw a tweet about Rachel congratulating Meghan when she became full time on Outnumbered.

We saw hints of her vileness in the real world, her treatment of Puck, even though he was gross.  I think her husband brought out her worst traits and justified it by using the Bible. Some people bring out our best and others your worst.

Megan wants to be like the laides on the housewives, but, she is too weak and stupid to deal with the ladies on there. They would have her for lunch and I would enjoy every minute of it.

Puck was bad, but, I always thought there was a meanness in Rachel.

Meghan flipped her hair like Erika Jayne when she told Joy what her job was: to listen to her.

So I was watching SNL and towards the end of the show, a commercial about Seth Meyers’ weeknight show came on. They mentioned some of next weeks guests and one of them included Meghan McCain. Can’t find confirmation of this online at the moment but if true, ABC is once again trying to make her seem hip and cool by the more left-leaning late-night crowd. I don’t mind hearing different opinions but this feels like more of a push by ABC to get her some relevancy and cool points.

There is at least ONE "news" article about her in our local AZ paper.  I think she has hired a crackerjack PR firm to get her name and face out there whenever/ wherever possible.  Soon everyone will believe she's more than she ever could be.

I doubt the show will ever find a sane Republican who can articulate her views without lies distortions propaganda and hysterical rants.

I think they're available and want to be found.  Production doesn't want that; they need the "sparks" that are made by cruel people making ignorant rants. They love that viewers comment and respond on so many different platforms.

Yeah, but both SNL and Seth Meyers are on NBC. If that were the case, wouldn't she be on Kimmel?

Here's the listing from the NBC PR site: 

Tuesday, May 7: Guests Meghan McCain and musical guest A R I Z O N A. Phillip "Fish" Fisher sits-in with the 8G Band. Show 0834.

OF COURSE she's on when the musical guest is A R I Z O N A

I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up as a guest on Kimmel’s show soon as well.

I guess my point was more related to ABC rehabilitating Meghan’s image by showing a different, cooler side of her on these late shows. She doesn’t act anything like that on The View. If I’d never seen her on The View but watched her appearances on the late shows, I’d think she was a decent person.

Whoopi is the same as Meghan on other shows.

I was wondering the same thing.  Maybe it's just me, but EP Brian gives me the creeps.  I believe he's the reason NutMeg gets away with all of her shenanigans.  I think he's obsessed with her.  She's always looking toward the area where he's usually seated after she speaks to see if he's smiling approvingly at whatever she's spouted out of her hateful mouth.

Me too.  He gives me the impression he doesn't care about the show but only about the ratings.  Why does a show for women always have a male producer?

I think Meghan is horrible in her job. I hate when she fights with the audience. Everytime she thanks the ONE person that claps I laugh because  It is beyond pathetic.

Maybe she hires that person in the audience.

Meggy's father-in-law is under investigation for violating ethics laws, and the Daily Mail is claiming that her days off sick last week were really because she didn't want to discuss it.

Little Miss Meggie is taking a huge hit in the tabloids this week.

https://www.truthdig.com/articles/what-have-we-done-to-deserve-meghan-mccain/

This one is a doozie:

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/the-view-producers-torch-meghan-mccain-and-her-husband-in-scathing-tabloid-tell-all/

The View's producers are questioning her recent "sick days", believing she was faking it due to embarrassment over her father-in-law's ties to the tRump administration as well as an ethics investigation into his business dealings.  They're not too pleased with her.  The beginning of the end?

[SuzieSioux]

I did a quick search and it doesn't seem this has been posted before, so thought I would share it, as I got a real kick out of it. It's a bit like a forum discussion dissecting clips like these from The View, but live. Thought others would enjoy too:

It's being discussed here as well (Youtube above).  They echo many of the points we've mentioned in this forum about Meghan, i.e. everyone's her "friend," her mentions of "my father," etc.

Sam Seder and his crew did a hilarious take of the same clip of Meghan McCain.

The hilarious thing is you have the female on the majority report (Jamie Peck), who is an anarchist communist, who thinks AOC is too far on the right.  I kind of want to see Jamie Peck on the view, just to see Meghan McCain lose her mind.  

Michael Brooks did a hilarious but incredibly true take on socialism.  How do you convince people that socialism is good?  Just play clips of Meghan McCain people a complete elitist snob, and that will convince people.

[Jaded]

I enjoyed the way Seth handled RBM during her appearance on his show. He confronted her on things she's said about Rep. Ilhan Omar even after the congresswoman had apologized. He specifically pointed out her appearance on This Week ABC's Sunday morning political show at the end of last month where she went after the congresswoman again when she wasn't even the topic of what was being discussed. It was apparent that RBM was doing all she could to keep it together when trying figure out how to respond to Seth's questions. She's so used to spouting fire breathing responses to her co-hosts on The View that it's hard for her to not give the same rude, bratty and entitled responses during her appearances elsewhere. I was glad Seth pressed her on her comments and behavior. As much as I love Stephen Colbert and his show she got off pretty easy during that time she was on when her producer Brian tagged along.

Hopefully the Late Night YT account will upload her interview soon....

Whoopi actually mocking her accent and hyper hateful demeanor* the other day spells the end to me. Fingers crossed!

* I don't know how else to describe the way she practically shakes all over while she shouts at the others. The mile a minute histrionics reminds me of my sister, who drinks energy drinks all the time.

OMG Seth was so awesomely direct, clear, calm and persistent in his remarks to MM. 

Love this article and Seth! 

[GoldenGirl90]

Looks like the fake nice girl persona wore off when Seth started pushing back on her comments about Ilhan Omar. Per usual, she gets sooo defensive and explains away her comments by 1) getting an attitude and/or 2) claiming she “represents a lot of Conservatives in the red states.” Anyway, good on Seth for politely and calmly pushing back while she became visibly offended.

As Seth said he was trying to bring them together with some kind of understanding and Meghan gets bitchy and says if I have to be unpopular oh well.  

Meghan you are unpopular for a very good reason and it's not just because of your beliefs.  It's the way you state  your beliefs.  You do it in such an obnoxious smug way it's no wonder you have made yourself the most hated View co host ever. And that is quite an accomplishment considering viewers had to sit through years of Hasselbeck's word salads and screaming What about Obama on an almost daily basis.

[UYI]

You could tell Seth rattled her quite a bit. It was quite fun to see that outside of the context of The View. Even at the end she was clearly still trying to wrap her head around what had just happened.

If Meghan McCain is going to present herself as a political pundit then she needs to be prepared for people challenging what she says.  

And I don't want to go off topic but person who said Seth Meyers is only where he is at because he is just a white guy might want to look in the mirror.

[BelleBrit]

Seth was polite and respectful to her. But Meghan is not interested in having a conversation. She just PANICS when someone pushes against her pre-programmed talking points/fibs. It's not a surprise that her husband is equally hyper-defensive, a match made in heaven.  Also, the irony in him saying that Seth is only where he is because he sucked up to the "right people" (because Meghan most surely is where she is today because of her talent).  I also feel like this demonstrates how spoiled Meghan is.

As stated above, if Meghan is set on being deferred to as a political pundit, she needs to not FREAK THE F OUT when people press her to defend her comments.
