Did Meghan McCain Use Her Name to Gain Influence?

[@YazzyJ718]

The 5 minute clip of Meghan saying "my father" over and over is all the proof needed to end this conversation

[@ediorfitzgerald1478]

💥🔥👏🏾🙏🏼

[@robert7567]

Thank you!

[@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty]

Lol lol 😂😂😂, nicely covered.

[@SupportTheArts-yo8ox]

Yep!

[@cat_momma]

Ugh, just like the Trump boys.."my father, my father, my father". HONESTLY, without the name, none of them are anything on their own.

[@sergioj.rodriguez1190]

I'm a third generation Arizonian and I appreciate our hero John McCain, but never appreciated his daughter. Which I will never even say/text her name. She's embarrassing.

[@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty]

Well said, well said. Ok

[@AndrewMuscat-t3k]

Agreed

[@Wintersincla]

It should also be noted that Abby Huntsman, the daughter of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, was also a panelist on The View. Ana has plausible deniability!

[@ediorfitzgerald1478]

👍🏽

[@Montcoshire]

Yup. When Ana made the comment, I was just as confused as her co-hosts. McCain did not immediately come to mind.

[@robert7567]

@@Montcoshireoh Me-Gain was the only one I thought of. Completely forgot about Abby 😂😂😂😂

[@SomethingSomethingg]

The difference is Abby wasn't a horrid person lol

[@SupportTheArts-yo8ox]

​@@SomethingSomethingg exactly night and day difference!!

[@atlaustell]

Ana didn’t use Meghan’s name. A hit dog will hollar.

[@Eurovisionary851]

Meghan McCain started 1765 sentences with a dramatic "My father..." on The View. Whoopi: What did you all watch on TV last night? Meghan: My father. Joy: Bananarama were great, right? Meghan: My father preferred the haunting melodies of La Toya Jackson. He had all her albums. Personally signed. Joy: Wait a min... Meghan: Let me speak! I am sick of our voices being silenced! My father...

[@SomethingSomethingg]

MAJOR Electra Complex!

[@izzyjordan8998]

Correct, no other examples needed.

[@reneeparker7475]

My father would be so mad that I'm the ONLY conservative voice on this show...

[@richardc8795]

Easy answer. 💯 Yes. Yes she did.

[@Hi-ok2yc]

All day every day…my father, my father, my father…Meghan is nothing without that last name.

[@yourpetyourway]

How come Abby Huntsman hasn't complained too then?

[@IM125]

Why are they asking her, ask the abc, view executives why they hire her? Meghan was always a tad bit stand offish about even having a job and having to be there, she walked out on a segment, yelled at Whoopi, yelled a joy and went at it with Ana too. She’s the epitome of hire me because you know my dad, if she had gotten that job fair and square she would’ve been ashamed to behave the she always behave, because ultimately her behavior is a reflection of her, not her dad. Lastly, she writes a little article here and there, why is that, do people really care what she has to say?

[@hctaw2]

Oh McCain, you were not the only person with famous daddy in this show. “ Abby Huntsman “ ?

[@ABookSheRead]

Nicole Wallace as well

[@SomethingSomethingg]

​@@ABookSheReadWhat are you talking about? Her father was a blue collar antiques dealer

[@ABookSheRead]

@@SomethingSomethingg she’s married to Mark Wallace, who also worked in politics.

[@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty]

This whole segment was very good. On Meghan - why is she trolling the view still. Ana made a general comment. Your time @ the view is over.

[@angeljie6299]

Funny thing is I didn't even realize Ana was referring to Megan, if that was the case. It went over my head. Meghan keeps forgetting everything is not about her. She put herself in the conversation. Geez

[@seanmills7657]

I mean Whoopi admitted that John McCain asked her to give Megan a job, so……it was all my father my father after that. Her mother is quite accomplished as well but they clearly do not have a great relationship.

[@deborahhoward7822]

A hit dog will holler! She knows that there was no tea spilled.

[@Cocostlaurent]

No one even said her name. Well.. hit dogs holler. 🤷‍♀️

[@ediorfitzgerald1478]

The show got so bad with her on it I had to stop watching it.

[@gcchair7634]

Just last month she talked badly about the people on The View. This is the typical Meghan either she is actually this obtuse or she’s being disingenuous that she does’t understand that nothing slanderous was said about her. Anna didn’t say anything linking her to criminality. I think she used this to whine like she did when she was a panelist.

[@eyezonly8593]

She knows she did

[@TheTimo5494]

😅 yes that's all she did

[@janiceweston3799]

I watch the show everyday, but I did not recount Meghan McCain's time on the show. Perhaps, because she was my less favorite that every sat at the View table.

[@Max2U]

Absolutely 💯

[@vanessad.2625]

Influence who? She's allowed her opinions but she DOES NOT have the power to influence anyone. Hell yeah she used her last name to be known. But she ain't influencing nobody.

[@jordyb57]

Of course she used her name and I don’t blame her. Unfortunately, i come from a family of degenerates 😂

[@AleksandrCyplakov-zc3hy]

Yes.

[@joannebaker4925]

Yes, Meghan used her name to gain influence. She got married and still used the last name McCain instead of hyphenating it, but that's her right. Every third word out of her mouth is "my father" of course she is proud of him, but it was a bit much. We all know of her because of her father and opportunities were bestowed upon her because of her father as well as her mother Cindy McCain, however Cindy seem to be alot nicer of a woman with a more even keel temperament. As far as Ana libeling her, Ana never mentioned her name. Meghan wasn't the only former hire on the view with family connections.

[@WAlkONRebel]

They could’ve been talking about Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Back in the day on the view, she used to run campaign trails with the McCain and Palin ticket.

[@billybob2372]

"Sit down and eat less food"

[@emiliofelix9126]

the answer that you looking for is yes.

[@rosamorrissette8285]

Ana never said she did but I say she did, now how you like that meggie.

[@dawnh8899]

The short answer is yes. And the long answer is yes. She cannot help who she is born to, but she absolutely had control over how she used it. That is the biggest thing she has to fall on. Not education, experience, or investigation. Just a, not always researched, opinion.

[@jessicawhitehead9406]

Sure.

[@rhyndawatson4173]

Of course she did

[@Kevin-bb9qz]

careful she might "sue" you

[@PureSparkles22]

Nepo baby mad

[@peeg09]

I hate THEIR TRUTH.

[@stardustmelody2709]

Absolutely a nepo baby!

[@mauriceortiz8817]

Yes because she is tragically clueless

[@Deking24]

Really Meghan derogatory ? You need to pick up a dictionary. What they said wasn’t derogatory. A hit dog will holler .

[@freshprince130]

Well considering she doesn't go by her married name let's you know alllll you need to

[@amandad6782]

Uh some of us poorish people don't wake up early either. I have a regular job and start work at noon. My job needs people mid day.

[@SylviaA-d5l]

Yes, she used the name. Maybe her father was a great guy, but she didn't mention that her father passed laws that hurt Native Americans.

[@michellebailey570]

I love Eddie Murphy. I love his style too.

[@marcomejia6378]

OMG I love Sam :)

[@fruitypaluti4067]

you should have Marianne Williamson on

[@streetglideyp2375]

I'm not sure one thing is very clear she used it at the grocery store

[@geribriggs6713]

She would be stupid if she didn’t. Getting yourself in the door is by your name …. Getting the job mean you have t prove you deserve it. Name recognition gives you an opportunity doesnt actual ensure you get the job.

[@siddaye]

@geribriggs6713 well for her she didn't need to probe herself her name got her where she is period

[@Glenda2013]

She was compared to someone who is federally indicted. That’s the issue. They also meant it as a personal insult.

[@andym.3711]

As they should!!

[@RachMonPhoebs]

The point of comparison is the family name recognition power, not implied criminal activity. Easily understood by the fact that Ana drew the comparison across a vast swathe of "people" (not "person") across not only politics but their TV show. I'm sure the conversation with her lawyer was very short, as in "Meghan, this is categorically not libel, nor is it slander. They didn't say your name, and it can't be proven untrue, so it's not defamatory. You have no standing for a lawsuit just because you're feeling prickly."

[@Glenda2013]

@@RachMonPhoebsThe only person who is actually qualified for that job on that show is Alyssa because she came from politics. There is obvious bad blood between Meghan and the show. They need to stop publicly talking about her. Period. And we need to be clear. Hunter Biden is a guy is who was dishonorably discharged from the military. He’s a recovering crack addict. He had a daughter out of wedlock that they are recently acknowledging. He married his dead brothers widow and he’s now a multiple time federally indicted person as well. It was made to be a personal insult and a cheap shot. The view has a large democratic based audience and Meghan (and most republicans) aren’t liked on that show or that network. Frankly ABC and the View need to stop talking about her or referencing her. Because even though she may or may not win, that lawsuit and the possible payout (just to make it go away) isn’t worth it. Like it or not she worked there for 4 years, she saw a lot and I’m sure she knows where some “bodies are burried” especially when it comes to the view. So again, they need to stop talking and move on.

[@charischarichera8358]

Of course she did. This nepo lady is nothing without her father name.
