Why Meghan McCain Can Be Out Of Order And Still Keep Her TV Gig
I feel like being petty so here it goes!
I usually try to stay far away from the viral shenanigans on ABC’s titan staple, The View, because of how most of the attention is focused on the highlighted privilege of the combative daughter of the late Senator John McCain.
Meghan McCain certainly garnered the embrace of a nation after her rousing speech at her father’s televised funeral, but she no longer earns my empathy based on her ongoing deplorable antics, and how she’s continuously coddled based on what she represents to White America.
Her recent viral TV moment is just one of many in a long history of episodic tantrums as the recruited conservative White woman feminist, whose personal vendetta against Donald Trump makes for good television, especially when she aggressively parlays it into talking points that are routinely challenged.
Contentious vibes at The View have always been a mainstay, and when you consider that the show has been around for more than two decades, with a handful of legendary spats under its belt, and the successful run that weathered the behind-the-scenes war of words, it’s hard to be shocked by the jarring moments of Meghan McCain’s pompousness.
