Meghan McCain Faces Criticism For Saying She ‘Doesn’t Trust’ Fauci
Forbes ^ | 7/1/20 | Alexandra Sternlicht

Posted on 07/01/2020 2:36:27 PM PDT by conservative98

Meghan McCain, the co-host of the View and Senator John McCain's daughter, faced criticism Wednesday for expressing skepticism about National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease director Dr. Anthony Fauci, resulting in criticism from her cohosts and users in social media.

KEY FACTS

“I do not have faith and trust in Dr. Anthony Fauci the way that I did,” said McCain on a Wednesday episode of the View, explaining: “I’m the only conservative on this show, and I leave this place and all I do is consume conservative media, so i'm just trying to explain what conservatives are seeing.”

McCain went on to praise the work of Fox News host Tucker Carlson: “As much as you want to trash Fox News, Tucker Carlson has the highest approval ratings and numbers in Fox News history, partly because he’s saying, in a much more eloquent way, what I am saying right now.”

This comes after McCain alleged “hypocrisy” by Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx and the liberal media for turning a blind eye to Black Lives Matter protests and Pride marchers who violated social distance guidelines.

Wasnt that hippo expecting a child? I thought she was, or perhaps she is just gaining girth just because she has a tendency to be a fat chick

I hate to admit, it really gives me no pleasure but in this case. The truth is the truth and 240 pounds ain’t no small thing. ROTFLMAO.

That Ms. McCain is somehow worthy of a headline, for any reason, is an indicator of how far gone this country is.

“I do not have faith and trust in Dr. Anthony Fauci the way that I did,” said McCain...

unlike, apparently, President Trump...

Funny ha ha. She’s actually the first public person I’ve heard who has had the courage to say this.

So why does Trump still have him on this “panel” and why is Fauci out there saying insane things all the time without any blowback from Trump?

For once, I agree with! Dr. Fakey is a huge part of the fear factor being pushed by the Lame Ass Media!
