Former “The View” host Meghan McCain has hinted at filing a defamation lawsuit against her ex-colleague, Ana Navarro, who insinuated that McCain unlawfully used her family’s name for financial gain.
The political commentator, who is the daughter of the late U.S. Senator John McCain, threatened legal action against Navarro after she compared her to Hunter Biden during a recent episode. “I don’t understand why my former colleagues bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” McCain wrote in an X post. “It has been years. Move on, I have.”
McCain was responding to comments made by Navarro, who defended Hunter Biden by claiming that influence peddling is common. “And being Hunter Biden’s very loving father, very good father, very supportive father. Look, did Hunter Biden influence peddle on his last name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington. People sitting at this table did it,” Navarro said in reference to McCain.
“I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American — I would never and have never ‘influence peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries. Not all politicians’ children are the same — and I am no Hunter Biden,” McCain said in response to the comments. She then hinted at potential legal action if Navarro does not issue a retraction.
“All accusations are absurd, defamatory and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.”
She later tweeted a follow-up message directed at ABC, The View’s parent network. “I do not take it lightly when any news program suggests I engage in criminal behavior, especially as a former employee of ABC News,” she continued.
McCain — a fierce Trump critic who served as the show’s “conservative” pundit — left the program at the end of 2021. She was replaced by former Trump White House communications official Alyssa Fara, another anti-Trump voice.
If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas
I can’t muster any sympathy for either of those dogs.
Where has she been for the past 10 years? If that's what she believes, I've got a bridge she might be interested in buying.
Navaro is right for once in her life.
ME-gan is very ghoulish.

Yes, half of Washington does it. And now we have a name, and we have documented proof.
What do you expect when your cavort with ugly shrew, vicious, lying, backstabbing democrat traitors who only used you for your name and to have an ‘R’ at the table to give them the illusion of being fair and balanced????

Working from his home?
That lazy creep has never had a real job in his life and never will have one. He is in a place where lazy folks with no brains do well...the senate.
File an actual lawsuit, and it will be a single grain of sand you can use to fill the enormous hole that you have dug for yourself
Because it is so easy. And more than likely, it is true. She better think twice before filing slander and libel lawsuits. Because the truth is a defense when slander and libel lawsuits are filed against one.
Bitch fight!
“My dad, John McCain” has been in every other sentence out of her mouth since 2008.
I can’t stand either one of them so who cares about their squabbling.
May I alter your statement?
If you lie down with dogs, you’re just another bitch…..
One could say that he showers his love.
Oh, but they’re “objective” and not cheerleaders in a cult of personality.
