New MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain: Newt Gingrich is ‘sexist,’ ‘disgusting’ [VIDEO]
MSNBC has a new addition to its staff — Sen. John McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain.
On his Wednesday program, MSNBC host Thomas Roberts introduced McCain, making her employment at MSNBC official.
“Joining me in studio right now is newly appointed MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain and a Daily Beast columnist. Meghan, it is great to have you here and welcome to the family,” Roberts said.
Later in the segment, Roberts asked McCain to address her back-and-forth with presidential candidate and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
“Can you believe that?” McCain said. “Former Speaker of the House I’m getting in fights with, I can’t believe it.”
In a specific incident addressing some remarks McCain made about his presidential bid, Gingrich said, “How would she have a clue?”
“I think he’s delusional,” McCain said. “And him calling me clueless I think is so sexist and disgusting and lame and a really offhanded remark … that he’s making towards me. And I think it’s ridiculous. Any polls that he’s reading, if you were seriously running for president, you wouldn’t be taking vacations to Greece during the middle of your campaign trail. I think he has a lot of other issues that all of us are very well aware of. And I would bet my career he’s not going to be our next nominee.”
