MM said she "debates for a living." Does she have as second job? Seriously, WTF is she talking about?  I never thought I'd say this, but, Whoopi I love you!

Her job title keeps changing: political analyst, debater, GLAAD award winner, Mrs. Ben Domenech, the only conservative at the table, etc. 

[Jan Levenson]

Oh look, Meghan wasn’t making eye contact with Whoopi!

"I will say" Meghan is very irritating, but "I will say" she gives me a chuckle when she gets so bent out of shape.  And "I will say" she must have to take many bathroom breaks because of the amount of drinks she takes.

[Picture It. Sicily]

She really needs to learn to dress for her body. She looks like Violet Beauregard

I’m surprised Meghan “I have gay friends and I wanted gay marriage before Obama” McCain is unconcerned about the SCOTUS marriage ruling under her potential new conservative judge.

 

...except I’m not surprised.

Meghan “I’m against murder” said she’s “pro gun” and “pro life” in the same sentence. No, you can be one of those but not both. One of those labels cancels the other out, Meghan. 

I guess there is no connection in her dim little mind!

It is fun to watch MM start shouting her views thinking she will get applause from the audience. And 99% of the time, after she's done yelling, she doesn't get one clap.  You can see it annoys the shit out of her. Love it.

I'm sorry; did I miss the news about another ruling by the Supreme Court where they overturned Roe v. Wade? No? Then Meghan the TWAT can take a trillion-gazillion-million SEATS and just STFU.

You're not"protecting every human life" when you're pro-war or pro-guns.

As a gay man, I've never bought into her support of the gay community. She just uses that as a tactic to try to increase her political following.  And her joy of this potential new judge just reinforces the fact that she doesn't give a damn about gay rights.

 

With that said, I support this show needing a conservative point of view, just not MM. She's just makes the show uncomfortable to watch. And not in a good way.

Yes!  She is speaking for herself and has been.  Trump can kick the shit out of her father and she will still support him. 

Her FIL works in the trump administration. I think that's why she won't dare speak out against trump. It appears her allegiance lies now with her husband's dad. 

[Former Nun]

Meghan McCain✔@MeghanMcCain Twitter:  "My sincere thanks to all the pro life women of Generation Roe for your support today. The future will remember that we stood on the side of protecting every human life."

And I assume Meghan and all Generation Roe women are still fighting haaarrrrrd to get everyone off Death Row.

[Kenz]

Ha! She knew it would be a "rough day today" at the View. Every day is "rough" when you are a sour, unintelligent, spoiled brat who doesn't know how to "debate for a living" and present your view in a calm, professional, and dignified manner. I enjoyed the facial reactions from Joy and Sunny. McCain was upset because they wouldn't look at her as she was spewing out her garbage. She's hopeless and needs to be off television forever. It seems as if things are coming to a boil, and maybe she will quit or they will fire her. We can only hope.

MILITARY BRATS:   Who WAS that irritating/annoying/military brat-mentor-woman Meghan was slobbering over?  There was nothing appealing about her.  I did, however, find her eyebrows fascinating.  She seemed surly to the staff and Whoopi...trying to take over her own interview.  Oh...and uninteresting.

MILITARY BRATS 2.0:    So Meghan was a military brat?  How did that occur?   Her father left the Navy as a Captain in 1981.   Meghan was born in 1984.

I'm guessing that many of us had fathers and/or mothers who served in the military so I guess we are all army brats according to Meghan's definition.

So, you can murder someone as long as you feel threatened.  No due process needed.

Neither have I. Meh-gun is a "have your cake and eat it, too" type. She tells a gay Olympian that he MUST sit down and talk with his oppressor, Mike Pence, and regularly exploits the murder and abuse of LGBT in other countries as a way to deflect from the human rights abuses currently happening in the U.S., but then wants us to believe she's a LGBT ally who supported same-sex marriage "before Obama and Hillary!" I don't buy anything from this sell-out, least of all her feigned support for the gay community.

Megan forgot that Sarah's brother is Gay and she cares very much about LGBT rights.  The new justice will help the other conservatives, in the court, undo the progression of those rights. So, Megan, gloating about what is to come, hit a nerve for Sarah.  Megan wanted to rub it in the ladies' faces that their team will lose and hers has won.

A major turning point in the show  was the "Cheap shot"  remark by Meghan  - to WHOOPI! 

I see it as a turning point because Meghan has always been deferential to Whoopi, even as she attacks other co-hosts. 

That was a cheap shot’: Fight breaks out on The View as Whoopi Goldberg schools Meghan McCain on poverty

Quote

Meghan McCain cut in to say that she’s glad to hear that people on the panel believe in the culture war now, because they didn’t before. Whoopi Goldberg maintained that she doesn’t agree.

“Some of this is about race. I think we can concede this, but a lot of this is about poverty,” McCain said. “Which again, seems to be missed in the mainstream media. When you are living in a tiny town in America and your coal mine or steel mine went under and opiate addiction is raging in your town, and you can’t pay your insurance, and you can’t pay –”

“It sounds like black people, you know? I don’t mean that in a crazy way” Goldberg cut in.

“I adore you as you know,” McCain said. “But that was a cheap shot. I’m trying to explain.”

[Former Nun]

Okay, I've had it!   I certainly don't need Meghan McCain to explain anything to me.  So if she's speaking to the audience, she can forget it.

If she thinks her fellow panelists need her to explain things, maybe they need to take her behind the barn and give her some straight talk.

It's almost hilarious to see her lose her temper every. single. day.  That prima donna has no self-control.

That is what it's all about for her.  Her team is winning.  Doesn't matter if millions of people will be hurt as long as Meghan wins. She really is a selfish uncaring bitch.  All I can say is thank God she doesn't want kids.

[MelP]

I’ve complained a bit this week about Whoopi and Sara but today? I was cheering them on! They really did a great job. Loved Sara’s succinct point on pro-life attitudes and it cracked me up that Meghan was about to snap back at her but got cut off because of the commercials. And Whoopi was not having it at all!

What more can I say? Meghan is noxious.

Meghan is similar to a comic with bad jokes. If you have to explain after it falls flat, over and over, it’s not the audience with the problem.

[inkworks]

God, Meghan is just a terrible person. I'm glad it wasn't just Sunny who went after her yesterday. I understand they need to have a conservative on the panel, but why do they always pick the idiots? Bitsy, Jediblabla and now Meghan?!? Why can't we have someone like Ana Navarro?

Wow me too. Shouting "go for it Whoopi" I inadvertently knocked a cat off the back of the couch. I have not yet been forgiven.

I applauded Whoopi and the cats ran away cuz I rarely  do that for anyone, except Josh Groban.  ; )

How insulting and RACIST of MM to call cheap shot on Whoopi's inclusion of " Black People" when Meggie was talking abt  Drumpf's downtrodden base.

 I hope to God that Whoops went to the execs afterward and lodged a complaint against Meh-gun as a  health risk  in the workplace, cuz Whoops' blood pressure had to have been off the charts!  Whoops is too old for that shit (tm Danny Glover). 

And oh the irony of having a rich white woman 'splaining the poor.  It boggles the mind much along the lines of Joy's question to MM  about how the poor base reconciles Drumpf's tax breaks for the rich,  as well as taking away their health care.  Crazy.  The better  "messaging" of Drumpf as the reason why he won was as superficial as Meggie's dark roots. 

Double the irony then when you add in the SCOTUS' future endangerment of Roe v. Wade  of safe, medical abortions, as the rich have always found discreet family doctors to " help" them, whereas, other women had to resort to back alley nightmares. The other ladies need to start using the term,  "pro-choice" forcefully during these discussions.    I used to escort women's at clinics in the 80's amid religious yelling and harrassing.  Not going back to lesser health care for women. I will march. 

 

MM has to go.

Excellent post, Tosia! ^^^^^

[Tosia]

Thank you, Kenz.

I turned off the tv after the Black people remark cuz my blood pressure was boiling.

I was really angry/depressed after that on my drive to go have lunch with a friend.  Took alot of singing along to loud radio music to get me out of it.

I was thinking also that I would FLOVE to see pics of the Black people in the View audience as MM is talking.  Chris Hayes from MSNBC was on Seth Myers the other night and succinctly talked about the white base privilege  being threatened (exacerbated by fear mongering from POTUS as Joy stated yesterday ) about the evolution of Black and Hispanic influx into the US. Get over it folks. 

MM is beyond horrible.

I have to say how much I love this forum, because it’s good to know that I’m not the only one who is screaming at RBM during one of her ignorant diatribes. When Meghan snapped at Whoopi, “I know how poor people feel, I’ve talked to them!” I wish Whoopi would have shouted, “I’ve LIVED it, Meghan!” Whoopi also grew up pre-Roe vs Wade so she’s seen and maybe even known women who have died or had serious complications from a back alley illegal abortion. Age doesn’t always mean wisdom, but dammit, give some credence to the older women (Whoopi and Joy) who lived through civil and women’s rights of yesteryear. Same to the woman who has extensive knowledge of the law because she’s a lawyer with an extensive legal career (Sunny). I always feel like Meghan is one second away from slapping her hands over her ears and screaming “Lalala can’t hear you!” when the other women are talking.

But because I am too empathetic for my own good, there’s a tiny part of me that feels a bit sorry for her. I had no idea that her FIL was part of the Trump administration, and we know her husband runs that gawdawful Federalist site, so the compassionate part of me says the reason why she pushes these republican talking points so hard is because she has to live and breathe that other part of life the other 23 hours of the day. Her husband and FIL don’t have a platform as big as she does aka a syndicated talk show, so they probably push her to say this and that and double down on the ridiculousness she spouts every day. Kind of like the “reluctant” wife who sides with her asshole husband because she has to go home with him.

I don't feel sorry one iota for her.  She knew who she was marrying.  There are plenty of marriages that differing political views.  And it's not like Meghan wasn't a Republican before she got married.  Do I think her husband has influence over her?  Absolutely.  But I'm not going to let her use that as an excuse for being a vile hateful bitch who is gleeful over all the horrendous things that are happening with this administration.

And Meghan's response to that was Trump's message was better than Hillary's.  She like her tribe leader doesn't give a damn about poor people.  To paraphrase Kanye West, Meghan McCain does not care about poor people.

Of course Meghan doesn't want to hear that black people have been suffering from the same ills as Trump's rural base for fucking years because it doesn't fit her narrative that Trump is going to be savior to all those poor white people who are struggling.  Oh that's right, that was only something he said to get elected.  She is such a good spokesperson for the GOP isn't she?

Yes, Angelsmom1009, Whoops needs to own her struggle and authenticity when MM is bragging/lying about knowing The poor.

Joy frequently talks about being raised in a tenement. Sara also mentions her Iowa roots in a small town.  Sunny, too , has commented on her dad's emphasis on education as a way up.  I have noticed that other guests also mention their early lives in lower economic digs. I imagine MM just tunes out during these discussions,  like you said,  and the same when women talk about sexual harrassment, because even Meggie can't buy a clue.

She's a waste of space on this show.

And she reminded us that she has "family members" who work in the Trump administration, yet again. She also used a dog-whistle: Trump Derangement Syndrome. I'm so ready for her to go away.

Thanks, Tara Setmayer, for putting your political views aside and giving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez credit where credit is due while Meghan sat there with a sour face. She's too young to be this miserable.

And I feel like Meghan was being condescending when she asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if this means the new democratic party is democratic socialism.
