MY FATHER Has Fallen: Meghan McCain Goes MAGA

In December 2016, John McCain handed FBI Director James Comey the infamous Steele dossier that contained damning allegations connecting Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. “I did what duty demanded I do,” McCain wrote in his final memoir, before saying anyone who didn’t it like can “go to hell.”

Eight years later, the maverick senator’s daughter and former The View host, Meghan McCain would betray that legacy by moving heaven and earth to secure Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation as Director of National Intelligence. For Meghan’s efforts, she’d be warmly welcomed to the White House by the man who routinely pissed on her father’s grave as a matter of course.

Even if you don’t follow Meghan McCain as obsessively I do, she has not been shy about being a prominent Never Trump Republican. That is no longer the case. According to Page Six, the cold war between Meghan and Trump is over:

Gabbard is a close friend of the former the “View” co-host (she’s even Godmother to one of Meghan’s kids) — and Meghan went to bat to get the former Democrat rubber stamped as the Director of National Intelligence.

“She called around senators and talked to holdouts,” said an insider, “she went on Hannity to defend her and wrote an op-ed for the Spectator.”

And apparently, the effort wasn’t lost on the President.

According to Page Six’s source, the feud is dissolving because while Meghan has been a vocal critic of Trump, she’s “been supportive of MAGA in many ways.” What are those ways? Well, routinely shitting on the Democratic Party, particularly the dear family friend who famously comforted her on live TV after the death of her father.

Despite being the wealthy daughter of a beer heiress, Meghan likes to believe she’s just a regular everyday American firing AK-47s into dry creek beds. She knows all about hard work if hard work means using your famous last name to score cushy media gig after media gig. Real salt of the earth stuff, which is why she don’t take kindly to Hollywood liberals making fun of the working class such as herself.

And then there’s the transphobia. Something that Meghan claimed she was against during her time on The View to the point where she was given an award from The Trevor Project. But that was before the political winds changed, and it’s only a matter of time before MY FATHER and J.K. Rowling are drinking buddies if they aren’t already.

I wish I had something snarky to say here, but folks, this was a long time coming. The writing was on the wall for this pampered husk full of Dunning Kruger. For someone who loved to constantly tweet how she’ll “never bend the knee” because she saw one episode of Game of Thrones — or more likely, one meme — Meghan bent hers so quick and fast that it’s part of the Speed Force now, forever hurtling through time and space like a bleached ham in flames.
