Fox News ^ | May 8, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain and "Late Night" host Seth Meyers butted heads on Wednesday morning's show over McCain's criticisms of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, who has repeatedly been accused of anti-Semitism.

It escalated to the point where McCain asked the NBC host if he was Omar's "publicist."

I'm not a fan of Meghan McCain. But she held her ground here. A quote of hers from the article:

"Anti-Semitism is very common and I see it happening over there and I worry about it happening over here. I stand by everything that I've said and if that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it."

Well done, Ms. McCain.

Anti-Semitism is becoming the norm now with many Democrat lawmakers and party members. 85% of Muslims in the USA are registered Democrats. Democrats have embraced Islam, and regularly apologize for radical Islamic behavior. I feel sorry for the United States. Democrats are giving up the country without a fight.

Islamists slit the throats of innocents. They throw gays off of rooftops and plant bombs. Death to the infidels! Etc., etc. Yet they have successfully portrayed themselves as poor, picked-upon minorities. It really is quite remarkable.

The so-called “entertainment” industry has been the Democrat Party’s PR firm for a loooong time.

It’s remarkable how easily they have fooled the Democrat leadership.

Talk is cheap and Meghan McCain isn’t capable of fixing the mess her father has helped to put us in. We need a far more radical answer than anything named McCain.

But it’s more fun to do cheap virtue signaling instead of addressing her father’s legacy of being a terrible human being. Most miss the pivot.

I suggest Minutemen.

True. Talk is cheap. But sometimes it gets people on the fence thinking. In this particular case Meghan helped the cause. And so I’ll give credit were credit is due.

Of course, who knows she’ll say tomorrow. She might take it all back, or “clarify” her remarks. Time will tell.

She definitely is one fruit that didn’t fall far from the tree. She hit the ground and sunk in. Mega McCain needs to cut back on the 5 pound boxes of chocolates.

They weren’t fooled.

They all are, every last one of them. Remember that grade school class that was singing the praises of Obama? It was weird, and sickening.

That’s just the way all the talk show hosts are today. Constant praise of Democrats, and liberal ideology.

Johnny Carson was the last good one.

“Meyers is a dolt.”

Worse, he’s not funny. Ever. IMO.

Is Seth Meyers a raving queen?

Because if not, he certainly plays a convincing one on TV

The country is overdue for a financial/political/cultural reset. The forces at work cannot co-exist. Moslems cannot co-exist with non moslems in a democratic society. An invasion of non citizens numbering 100,000 a month cannot be sustained, the society cannot survive these numbers.

Sooner or later there will be a reset. It will resemble the reset of the 1860's. There will be many, many deaths.

I watched the clip of the exchange. Seth isn’t the brightest of comedians, and he’d obviously had some research dumped on him to perform this ‘act’. I agree, McCain probably dished it out and made a good statement.

But Meyers doesn’t have to be funny, or talented in any way. He only has to be politically correct.
