“My fear is he’s going to play on the American public’s fears in a draconian way, and possibly do this akin to the Patriot Act going forward, where he uses this moment in time to play off our fears for his own benefit,” McCain added. “I think seeing front and center what him and his team — I for one, became even more fearful of what was happening when I saw how inept Jared Kushner was.” …

Stupid “Me-Again” hasn’t been paying attention to the shenanigans of the dems inserting self serving giveaways into legislation and “using chinavirus as a self serving platform”.

I wonder if Meghan is “concerned” about the damage Wuhan-19 is doing to the world. She’s just one of the cackling hens.

Give it up Megyn.
You are NOT going to win Daddy’s Senate Seat and any future in politics is doomed.
Do yourself a favor, go back to school and learn something useful.
Your 15 min of fame is just about over.

Ha ha ha. Isn’t she cute?/s
This woman was so unfortunate as to have the RINO John McCain for her father. Now John McCain is exactly the type of person who would use all things Coronavirus for his own ends.
Thankfully, we have already seen the end of Backstabber McCain.

"Have another doughnut, Meghan."

That's probably how she got pregnant. She had to put a doughnut down there so her hubby could finally find the hole.
