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...

Meghan McCain slammed the left after a “disgusting” bathroom accosting of Democrat Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and argued that the activists “filmed themselves committing a felony.”“Filming someone in a bathroom without consent is a class 5 felony in Arizona,” the former co-host of “The View” tweeted Mondays. “You all just filmed yourselves committing a felony,” she added, along with a retweet of a clip showing Sinema being chased into the bathroom and filmed at Arizona State University.

There are many reasons I am excited about last night's barn-burner election results in the Virginia governor's race. First and foremost it is a clean, direct repudiation of the insanity that has overtaken school boards in Virginia, especially the divisive, toxic and dangerous agenda that is Critical Race Theory. And it is a devastating kill shot for a Democratic party that has gone so far off track from where normal, rational mainstream Americans currently are. There is truly no way for anyone to spin this any other way (although just a quick glance at Twitter will show that some of...

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Daily Mail (U.K.) columnist Meghan McCain discussed the left’s reaction to Winsome Sears, a black Republican woman, elected Virginia’s lieutenant governor. MacCallum said, “I thought this was stunning. This is from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ they went off on Winsome Sears on the Update segment of ‘SNL’ the other night. Watch this.

Meghan McCain slammed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo in a Tuesday op-ed for The Daily Mail, calling him "unfit" for the job in the wake of allegations that he worked to defend his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), during his sexual harassment scandal. In the opinion piece, McCain questions why CNN hasn't already fired Cuomo, insinuating that CNN President Jeff Zucker may be attempting to save his own reputation. "Seriously, what does Chris Cuomo know about Jeff Zucker that is so compromising that Jeff doesn't want the American public to know?" she asks. "At this point, I can't...

Uncomfortable private conversations in politics have a way of leaking out into the mainstream in the age of social media and mountains of gossip. One major storyline, acknowledged by all inside DC but only vocalized by a few in media, is whether anyone actually believes that Joe Biden is going to run for president again in 2024. The question is, if not Joe, who? -snip- I believe sadly and wholeheartedly that former President Trump plans on running again, and given the current state of my party that slobbers all over anything MAGA-related, it is unlikely there is anything or anyone...

I knew that I was tempting fate when I reposted a meme on my Instagram Stories joking about dodging golf balls at a driving range. That’s how I felt – having gone nearly two years into the pandemic without catching Covid. But then several weeks ago, my husband felt lightheaded and developed a bad cough. We agreed to have him go downstairs to our guest room and isolate from me and our daughter until he could get a test. The fastest and easiest way to get a test in our area in Virginia is not to get an at-home rapid...

American presidents for the past several decades, since the end of the presidency of Ronald Reagan, have had a pretty abysmal record when it comes to the U.S. geopolitical relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin. -snip- In 2013, my father participated in freedom protests in Kiev alongside Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and spoke in front of thousands of protestors. He told them 'We support your just cause, the sovereign right of Ukraine to determine its own destiny freely and independently. And the destiny you seek lies in Europe.' In 2014, following the invasion and annexation of Crimea by Russia my...

I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead - Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster. The voters have spoken - be careful what you wish for…— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) August 3, 2022

A high-profile Washington, D.C. conservative pundit exploded in anger during a podcast interview he was conducting when his guest suggested that the burgeoning conservative Christian nationalist movement would inevitably push for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage. After asserting that Dave Rubin’s gay “marriage” is something “beautiful,” Ben Domenech, a Fox News contributor and founder and former publisher of The Federalist, lashed out at his guest, National Conservatism movement leader Yoram Hazony, who had said that “gay marriage is already back on the table,” ripe for a revitalized national public debate. Domenech, showing...

Political analyst Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), responded on Monday to comments made by Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) about her father, calling them “bile trash.” “Everyone has been asking me for comment on this bile trash from Kari Lake,” wrote McCain over Twitter in response to an article discussing Lake’s remarks. Lake referred to McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee for president who died of cancer in 2018, as a “loser” at a campaign event on Friday. “We don’t have any McCain Republicans in here, do we?” former television anchor Lake asked the event’s...

Conservative pundit Meghan McCain says that Tuesday’s disappointing midterm election results for Republicans might have put the “final nail in the coffin” for former President Trump’s political career. In an op-ed published by the Daily Mail Wednesday, McCain, a former panelist on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View,” wrote that Republicans “are waking up this morning outraged and confused” because the GOP has so far failed to gain majority control of the House and Senate despite “the highest inflation rate in decades, crime that is “up everywhere” and President Biden’s low approval ratings.

In a new statement, former President Trump blasted Meghan McCain. “Isn’t it funny that Meghan McCain, who has always been a bully and basically a lowlife, is now complaining that it was she who was bullied by the Slobs and Radical Left maniacs of The View. At the request of many of her representatives, I made it possible for her father to have the world’s longest funeral, designed and orchestrated by him, even though I was never, to put it mildly, a fan. In any event, Meghan should fight the Communists instead of explaining how they beat her, hurt her,...

Meghan McCain said Wednesday on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” that she regrets her past criticisms of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Host Andy Cohen said, “Your new memoir is called ‘Bad Republican,’ but it could have been titled ‘Very Gifted Tea Spiller’ given all you reveal I want to crack open some topics in your book.”

Meghan McCain slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for making all Republicans look like "psychotic barbarians," the conservative co-host of ABC's "The View" wrote on Twitter. The daughter of the late Senator John McCain of Arizona also used the Twitter post to call out Greene for "behaving like an animal" in a now-deleted video of her antagonizing the New York lawmaker, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

Meghan McCain told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “TheView” that Dr. Anthony Fauci sought fame like “a Kardashian.” Joy Behar said, “Republicans like Rand Paul are saying I told you so over the emails. What is he saying that he is right about, Rand Paul?”McCain said, “I don’t think people that are uncomfortable with celebrity or don’t want to be a celebrity, pose on the cover of InStyle Magazine in fashion spreads and on the cover of People Magazine. I’m sorry but part of the criticism going forward is he just wanted to be a scientist, he clearly wanted to...

Meghan McCain announced live on air Thursday that she is resigning from ABC's The View DailyMail.com had revealed earlier on Thursday that the 36-year-old was stepping away from the daytime talk show with two years still on her contract Her co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin, were not aware prior to Thursday that McCain had resigned, a source said McCain will be finishing up on the show at the end of July McCain addressed her resignation during the The View's opening segment, saying: 'I'm going to rip the bandaid off'

Meghan McCain is leaving "The View." One assumes that regular readers of editorial pages and political magazines aren't exactly the prime audience for a daytime-television show. And one also assumes that a not insignificant number of Republicans aren't fans of McCain because of her sharp criticism of former President Donald Trump. Yet I think it's fair to say that McCain was probably one of the most consequential conservatives in media over the past four years. For one thing, "The View" captures a larger audience than any cable-news show in the country. It is watched by millions of Americans who are...

Former "View" co-host Meghan McCain tore into President Biden for his speech commemorating the withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying she does not "recognize" the longtime family friend. McCain then went personal, invoking Biden's decades-long relationship with her family as the president and her late father John McCain worked alongside one another in the U.S. Senate. "This is extremely difficult for me to say: I once thought I truly knew Joe Biden and he helped me through pain and grief, for which I am grateful," McCain wrote. "This man on tv giving this speech, I do not recognize this man." "God help...

Monday night, fans tuned in, whether by streaming or updates via Twitter posts, to see the who’s who of Hollywood walk the red carpet at the 2021 Met Gala. But, like many other significant events, the annual fundraising gala altered its traditional presentation to ensure everyone’s safety during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic—requiring that all attendees be vaccinated against the deadly virus. The usual suspects were in attendance, including Rihanna, Yara Shahidi, and some new, like co-host Keke Palmer. However, fans quickly noticed rapper Nicki Minaj was missing in action. The “Anaconda” emcee last attended the event in 2019 wearing a...
