Meghan McCain told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that “racism is still a big problem in this country.” McCain said, “Well, the last year since George Floyd’s murder has been, you know, paradigm-shifting in the sense that we were all, because of the circumstances of the pandemic, we were isolated and alone and able to confront, you know, the issues of egregious police brutality and the killing of unarmed Black men, whether you liked it or not.

Meghan McCain told her co-hosts on Thursday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” that the Biden administration’s messaging on wearing masks and the coronavirus vaccine was “psychotic.” McCain said, “Honestly, when we were first talking about vaccine hesitancy on this show, a lot of it centered around minority populations who were hesitant because of the Tuskegee experiment. The narrative and feeling coming out was compassion and trying to convince people in a way of empathy that we all are in this together. We should get vaccinated together. It was effective.
