Meghan McCain is dad er… mad as hell and all hot and fathered er... bothered and she’s not gonna take it anymore!
“Meghan McCain is sad. For months now, she’s been calling Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar an anti-American Jew-hater, going so far as to blame Omar’s rhetoric about Israel for tragedies like an April shooting at a San Diego synagogue. Obviously, all of her comments had a clear undercurrent of bigotry to them. But then Donald Trump had to go and make the undercurrent of bigotry surrounding Omar completely unambiguous, and now McCain feels like she can’t attack the Minnesota lawmaker without being labeled a racist. It’s not fair!
“Everyone at this table, and I think, people that watch this show or have ever seen the dumpster fire of my interview with Seth Meyers, know I have been one of Ilhan Omar’s most vocal critics regarding Israel, regarding some of her comments I and others interpreted as anti-Semitic,” McCain said on The View Thursday. (Said dumpster fire referred to a May appearance on Late Night, in which Meyers called McCain out for her statements about Omar, leading McCain’s husband to call the host an “untalented piece of shit who only has his job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’s balls.”)
McCain reveled in the role of anti-Omar truth-teller, at least until Trump tweeted that the Minnesota congresswoman—as well as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib—should “go back” to the countries they came from. “The problem right now,” McCain said to her gal pals on The View, “is you’re taking away my agency to criticize her policy.”
You know what else will take away your agency to criticize her policy, Megs?
You and the Orange Orifice getting her killed for having the nerve to criticize Israel’s policy of dispossessing Palestine and calling Trump out for being the lying, racist POS he is...
But this is all about you, isn’t it?
Isn’t everything?
