Meghan McCain Grills AOC on Socialism: “It is Like the Apocalypse”
New York Post ^ | Feb 19, 2020 | laire Spellberg

There’s “far apart on the political spectrum,” and then there’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Meghan McCain. On Wednesday morning, those opposing political views came to a head during Ocasio-Cortez’s appearance on The View, where she sparred with McCain on everything from the 2020 Democratic primary to Bernie Bros. While the two remained relatively civil for the entire interview, there were a few moments of tension when McCain grilled Ocasio-Cortez on socialism and progressive policies. “To conservatives like me, it is like the apocalypse,” said McCain. “It’s a huge ask for people like me, this seismic shift from capitalism to socialism.”

While McCain stayed quiet during the first segment, she picked things up after the commercial break. Referencing Ocasio-Cortez’s earlier remark that Fox News acted like her midterm election win was “the apocalypse,” McCain insisted that she really does feel that way about a potential Bernie Sanders presidency. “What you’re proposing and what Bernie Sanders is proposing, to conservatives like me, it is like the apocalypse,”

I’m beginning to think that this was the story Reid gave McCain.
“If you work with us, we can create a moderate Democrat Party-Gov and keep it out of the hands of the Conservatives”
Sounds like something McCain would have taken hook-line-sinker.

You have every right to be confused as to the degree to which Meghan McCain is a “conservative”. Daughter of the most self-serving and two faced political hack, John S. McCain III, ever to serve in the Senate or run for the Presidency, “conservative” was only a garment to be donned when in quest of an office, but to be cast aside like a dirty shirt once the objective is attained.

The fruit does not fall far from the tree.

What’s truly confounding is that BU awarded her a degree. Four years.... you would think something must have sunk in if only by osmosis.

this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

They complain about misogyny, but that’s the most misogynistic show on TV and they still have it on.

If her last name was different, this obese POS could not get a job above normal for education, experience, etc. Now, why has America been invaded by foreigners? I say it’s handouts plus we have more opportunity then any other country.

Meghan and her dad were never conservative. Her dad was a traitor, I don’t care the tough stuff he went through in Vietnam. Just look at those that went through the same and rougher treatment as POWs.

He sold out his morals in a long history of betrayals of the American people.
