Meghan McCain: 'SNL' parodies made me feel like 'laughing stock of the country'
The Hill ^ | 10/20/2021 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Meghan McCain says in a new interview that sketches performed on "Saturday Night Live" mocking her during her stint on ABC's "The View" made her feel like she was "the laughing stock of the country."

"I think partly 'Saturday Night Live' parodies have this way of becoming reality. I’ve seen it so many times with Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton. The stereotypes of who you are become true. Bush being an idiot. I still think Alex Trebek is someone who celebrities hated. Sometimes the parody is the person, and I think that probably played a factor, too," McCain said during a question-and-answer session with Rolling Stone promoting her new audiobook. "People really loved it when 'SNL' dunked on me, and it was not flattering or kind. And, by the way, they were pretty nice to the rest of the ['View'] cast, just not great to me."

Go eat a box of donuts and a large diet coke. It will make you feel better.

Talk about looking out the rear view mirror?

The fat, stupid cow thought that sucking up to her abusers would protect her.

Meghan McCain is a traitor to her professed cause and nobody who is normal trusts someone like that. Baby Beluga is getting what she deserves.

Did she really think her media friends would respect her for being a useful idiot?

I never saw her parodied on SNL. I don’t watch the show. I did watch (on YouTube) the parodies of the debates, and I thought Woody Harrelson nailed Biden, Kate McKinnon nailed Elizabeth Warren, etc.. I’m hard pressed to believe, though, that anyone could’ve captured the calumny of Hillary Clinton or that it could even be parodied. In other words, a parody of Clinton could only make her seem more likeable, not less.

“...made her feel like she was “the laughing stock of the country.”

She doesn’t need any help to accomplish that.

Megs is shooting herself in the foot here. The classy way to handle this would be to ignore it or laugh at it. This is 4th-grade playground 101. If you cry when someone is making fun of you, they win. But perhaps she never learned that lesson.

I’m a very infrequent SNL viewer these days, but I’ve never seen a single “View” sketch involving her. I bet a lot of other folks haven’t either and are now tempted to seek them out to wonder what they did to her that got under her skin to this extent.

It is so sad when people kiss up to liberals and then they turn on you(and they always do). Hopefully this will make her reflect on their true nature and she can find some conservative friends that won’t make fun of her.

What is a “SNL” and why should I care what they say?

So,oblivious to,reality... just like a liberal.

It wasn’t sold that made you the laughing stock of the country Megan, it was you pretending to be a conservative. Everyone saw right through it. The fact that you didn’t realize that was what folks were laughing at

SNL is a parody based function of (supposed) comedy.

They merely look at real life and make fun of it.

Sooooo . . . . .

You’re right. I did just that. I saw 1 skit and I realized that I haven’t ever watched The View either to be able to evaluate how accurate the portrayal was, but the mannerism were spot on.
