Meghan McCain Confronted by Andy Cohen Over ‘Hypocritical’ Tell-All Book

Within the two-and-half months since she bid her awkward farewell to The View, Meghan McCain saved her media presence fairly low key. However this week, she is again in an enormous approach, selling her new audio memoir Bad Republican by trashing her former co-hosts within the digital pages of Variety and on Sean Hannity’s show, the place she extolled the virtues of Fox Information’ “sisterhood.”

And on Wednesday, she returned to her favourite late-night haunt, Watch What Occurs Dwell, to spill much more tea to Andy Cohen.

With the title of her ebook unironically displayed beneath her identify on display—and her good pal and CNN host S.E. Cupp by her facet—McCain teased among the juiciest particulars, sharing variety phrases for Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton whereas labeling Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner “funeral crashers” when her father was laid to relaxation.

“That they had no goddamn enterprise being there and it nonetheless angers me, clearly,” she stated. On her household’s long-running feud with former President Trump, she added, “He misplaced Arizona so all is nicely now.” This though, in accordance with her personal husband, she herself did not vote for Joe Biden.

And but, whereas Cohen principally gave McCain a pleasant platform to air her grievances, he did take an sudden swipe at her, asking, “On a 1-to-10 scale, how hypocritical is it that you just wrote a tell-all after prefacing each tell-all interview on The View with ‘I hate tell-alls?’”

Maybe most famously, McCain told Mary Trump last summer, “I don’t like household tell-all books, particularly with regards to households with fame and energy,” including, “What do you say to folks like me who suppose that is simply a good way so that you can get a paycheck proper now?”

“You realize, these are political tell-alls,” McCain stated, nonsensically, in her protection. When Cohen requested once more if she thinks she is being “hypocritical,” she shrugged and replied, “Um, I don’t, however it’s OK if different folks do, I don’t actually care.”

Then, after Cupp accused Katie Couric of “giddily” trashing all the ladies she “burned on the best way up” in her new unvarnished tell-all, Cohen turned the query round on McCain, asking, “Do you suppose your ebook could possibly be checked out as not pro-women?”

“Is it pro-women to work in an setting the place, as a result of you will have a distinct political opinion, you might be leaked about on daily basis?” McCain shot again, not precisely answering the query.

However that wasn’t all. McCain additionally weighed in on her former co-hosts, saying she continues to be in contact with Sunny Hostin and nonetheless “adores” Whoopi Goldberg despite their on-air beef. Requested if she takes any accountability for the “toxicity” on the present, McCain stated, “Just one particular person was bullied out of their job and doesn’t work there anymore.”
