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,”

As stupid as The View is, there are voters in it's audience that could effect an election.

Yep, it’s not the politicians I fear, it’s the voters.

Meghan’s Daddy was pretty much a socialist. Just did a better job of hiding it.

“To conservatives like me..."

So, can anyone tell me if Meghan McCain is a conservative, and if she is why would anyone want to be one?

“There’s “far apart on the political spectrum,” and then there’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Meghan McCain.”

“far apart on the political spectrum,”

Not that far. But on a weigh scale...about 100 lbs?

With conservatives like her advocating for amnesty for illegal aliens, the socialists will take over in no time.

Shows how far left AOC is, a moderate/RINO like McCain calling her views “apocalyptic”.

I disagree. He was just a criminal trying to be in on the action, Syria etc. Made friends with the criminal clinton’s, that’s why they passed the fake dossier through his chief off staff so he could be part of bringing down trump.

When McCain took the bribes from Charles Keating, he should have been put in prison along with the other 4 senators. He was a criminal who plays don being shot down in Viet nam.

Watching the view is like taking a stupid pill.

One more argument against the 19th amendment.

You know that winning a couple wet T-shirt contests was how AOC her start.

No way was that ditz qualified for anything else, even being a bar-maid.

If someone would teach AOC how to make biscuits, she wouldn’t have to do this for a living...

They're a hell of a lot closer than most would believe.

She's quite hot, though she's got to keep those horsey gums covered. All else can be exposed any time she feels like it.
