Meghan McCain tries to corner House intel Dem about Trump-Russia overhype and it backfires

[UCmeNdc]

“The View” co-host Meghan McCain on Thursday tried to corner House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on what she described as Russia “overhype.” Instead, she got a lesson on the “damning” evidence of Trump campaign collusion—and Congress’ duty to inform the public about Russian interference.

1. Megan should just pretend for one minute ALL this is happening under HILLARY

and she would be saying just the opposite.

hypocrite

Oh, and has NO qualifications to be on local public access let alone national tv show

2. Saw it this a.m.

She falsely accused him of making a comment that was actually said by Steve Bannon,
and when he corrected her
she sat there and just glared at him.

I think she wants a job in the Trump administration.

[BigmanPigman]

3. She is always out of her league.

Get a real job that you are qualified for or better yet, go spend time with your dad.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

23. Yeah

Applebee's is always hiring bus and kitchen help. She could probably handle that. Maybe.

5. Oh my.

[barbtries]

6. i don't watch the show,

but for those who do, is her position secure? because seems i keep hearing her really straining to uphold the fox news narrative.

[Fred Sanders]

7. Foxxx fakery and hackery is no longer getting a head start..they are finally withering I believe.

11. From what I've read, everytime someone on the panel calls her on her BS she has a hissy fit

She's threatened to leave a couple of times already and she's only been there a few months. Joy is quoted as saying something like 'good, let her leave'.

She's never had a better job so I doubt she'll be leaving anytime soon unfortunately, at least as long as mommy and her entourage can keep convincing her to stay.

[ooky]

21. Thats what Republicans (conservatives, whatever you want to call them) do.

[CurtEastPoint]

8. Entitled, nasal, whiny, no-nothing conservabrat. GTFO, Megghand

[PatSeg]

9. Meghan is out of her league

No one is going to corner Adam Schiff. He is the most prepared and together politician I've ever seen. So calm, measured, and informed, the consummate prosecutor.

[LuckyLib]

15. She could have used the opportunity to ask some thoughtful questions of a VERY

knowledgeable person. She is completely unqualified and would rather carry water for the R party.

[PatSeg]

32. I agree

One can be a conservative and still ask informed, thoughtful questions. If she'd been paying attention, she would have known what kind of a man he is - what you see, is what you get. There is no pretense or bullshit with Schiff.

I'm really disappointed in her. She used to be moderate and reasonable. Lately I've seen a lot of reasonable republicans on TV. Trump has a way of bringing the best out of some of them and of course, the worst out of others.

Rick Wilson, Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schmidt, David Frum, Jennifer Rubin, George Will, Michael Steele, Richard Painter - just a few who refused to go to the dark side.

10. The other View hosts should be

embarrassed by that display of rude stupidity.. I know Meghan isn't.

Good on Adam Schiff cutting down her "Russian overhype" Hype. Dumbass.

[Doremus]

12. Yes, with Condoleezza Rice as guest host too.

If anybody knows about Russia it's her. Her questions had to do with how well prepared are we to prevent additional Russian attacks. Left MM out there hanging by herself with the 'overhype' BS.

[Cha]

14. Good to know..

Thanks, Doremus

[SonofDonald]

16. Indeed, her Father hates dumpf but it sure looks

Like she's carrying water for the deplorables, I don't get it but then again I don't care what her thoughts are after that spew of stinking BS.

[nolabear]

13. I think she serves a purpose.

The woman gets on my last nerve but she does provide a reason for them to say they are trying to be more than a left wing rah rah. The fact she’s so whiny and irritating gives a face to the whole whiny irritating right.

And yes, Adam Schiff swatted her like a fly and did it with grace.

[gratuitous]

17. For what she's getting paid

You think Meghan McCain could be bothered to do a little bit of research before getting embarrassed like that. Facts are your friend, Meghan; I know you and your tribe don't usually traffic in them, but really, get to know a few facts next time.

[rainin]

18. This is a textbook example of how Dems talk vs. how Repugs talk.

Meghan makes loaded accusations masked as questions, followed by Congressman Schiff having to bring loads of facts to his answer.

Then Meghan snipes back with accusations, criticism AND NO FACTS and Mr. Schiff had to answer with lots of facts. Dems do all the work. Republicans just try to undermine and cast doubt.

19. Being the Daughter of a Pro doesn't make YOU a Pro

Same applies for sons, natch.

[NastyRiffraff]

20. Wow. I admire the hell out of Adam Schiff

In the face of rank stupidity, he responded thoroughly and with grace in words that even Meghan could understand. (Yes, she understood, and she didn't like it.)

[trof]

22. Bless her heart. She tried SO hard to ake a case.

And it just ain't there.
Poor kid.

[JI7]

24. She is a dumbass.

[LovingA2andMI]

26. This...

And The View should dismiss her. She can go back to writing a blog no one with a brain will read.

[magicarpet]

25. Meghan... An intellectual know nothing....

.... who thinks she is a Rhodes Scholar. But in actuality is just a spoiled loud mouth brat who is prone to sulk and become spiteful at the drop of a dime.

[elehhhhna]

28. She overestimates herself. How old is she? Seems naive. Like a sheltered heiress or something.

[magicarpet]

31. Meghan McCain... Born.... October 24, 1984... Makes her 34 years old....

..... Not a kid by any means, just a spoiled brat adult.

27. Shes as dumb as her dad

[madamesilverspurs]

29. Sounds like

she's being coached by the same wingers who used to prep EH. Thinking that she could outsmart Schiff was just plain stupid.

30. Checkers (well Candyland, really) vs. Chess.

[Upthevibe]

34. I really tried to like her on The View...

but she's simply unlikable. From what I can tell, she got her radio show (I guess before The View) and position on The View because of her name and for no other reason. I wish to Hell they'd let her go. There was a conversation earlier in the week on the show about the UBER rating system and she was saying that her points are very low. She's too stupid to even realize that telling everyone your UBER rating is low can very well be a tell-tell sign that you're a nightmare!

33. To paraphrase Dirty Dancing, "Nobody puts Schiff in a corner."

[niyad]

35. does The View keep her around for comic relief? she is an absolute embarassment.
