Meghan McCain Labeled ‘a Liar’ After First TV Appearance Since ‘The View’ Exit
Meghan McCain’s first TV appearance after ‘The View’ exit has not gone well among fans. Per Uproxx, McCain was invited as a panelist on ‘Meet the Press’, an NBC show.
McCain’s opinions about ‘United States’ prevailing political situation did not impress viewers.
McCain was part of a panel alongside Leigh Ann Caldwell, Eddie Glaude Jr., and Amy Walter to discuss Joe Biden’s current administration.
‘The View’ former host has started working in the capacity of a columnist with The Daily Mail UK recently. During the discussion, McCain raised a point about Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, saying,
The Build Back Better agenda is the most progressive modern agenda of all time,” she mentioned. She added that it’s not “polling well,” and she’s confused why the administration is focusing on something that’s not well-received in the polls.
However, fans have expressed their disappointment over McCain’s comments. According to a journalist Soledad O’Brien,
This is a really good example of the media elevating lies and misinformation, courtesy of Chuck Todd who has a bad track record on this front. This statement by Ms. McCain is a lie? Why repeat it and give it legs? https://t.co/EWrDpjhN5i

One user tweeted,
Meghan McCain went on Meet the Press to lie that the the support for Build Back Better Act is cratering. It has support from 66% of Americans.

Another fan responded similarly to McCain’s claim,
Surprisingly, McCain defended her statement on Twitter, saying,
Also, if Dems plan is to buy off American voters they’d better come up with a solution to the inflation that is raising prices for everyone.
Joe Biden IS his agenda. A presidents polls mean something – that the American people aren’t happy with how he’s governing or his agenda.

Serious question! What are your qualifications or areas of expertise? (John McCain’s daughter or Princess of Arizona don’t count)
