Want Some Cheese With that Whine?

It appears that Meghan "My Dad was John McCain" McCain is suffering from major butthurt after one of her former co-hosts on The View declared that some of the people on that show had been nepo babies.

Meghan "My Dad was John McCain" McCain is threatening to sue, which is a problem because:

• No one said that it was her except for Meghan "My Dad was John McCain" McCain.  When one examines the hosts of that show, the right wing ones at least, we have:
• Meghan "My Dad was John McCain" McCain
• Alyssa Farah Griffin, whose dad founded World Net Daily.
• Elisabeth Hasselbeck , wife of NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck.
• Abby Huntsman, daughter of former Utah Governor John Huntsman.
• And she is a nepo baby.
• The truth is always a defense against defamation or libel in the United States.
  

So, she got some shade thrown at her, and she decided to remove all doubt:

Nobody mentioned Meghan McCain’s name on Thursday morning’s episode of The View. But the former co-host clearly felt seen.

“I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” McCain tweeted a few hours after the show aired. “It has been years - move on, I have.”

“I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American - I would never and have never ‘influenced peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries,” she added. “Not all politicians children are the same - and I am no Hunter Biden. All accusations are absurd, defamatory and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.”

McCain was referring to comments made by current co-host Ana Navarro during a segment about the Republican Party’s relentless campaign to smear President Joe Biden with the actions of his son Hunter.

I should mention here that Ana Navarro never worked with McCain, and Ana Navarro is a Republican, but whatever, I guess.

“Did Hunter Biden influence peddle on his last name? Yes he did! So did half of Washington,” Navarro said. She then appeared to catch her co-hosts off guard when she added, “People at this table did it!”

Oh, snap!

Asked for clarification by McCain’s de facto replacement Alyssa Farah Griffin, Navarro explained, “I’m not talking about currently.”

At that moment, the reaction around the table made it clear they knew which U.S. senator’s daughter Navarro was talking about—even if they declined to make it explicit for the audience.

That means McCain was the first to directly connect the comments made on the show to herself, which could complicate her proposed attempt to claim libel.

Gee, ya think?

I do not know why, nor do I care why, McCain and her former cow-orkers seem to have parted on unfriendly terms.

But this level of unaware self-owning is both amusing and not a surprise.
