‘The Onion’ Slammed Following Tasteless Piece About Meghan McCain
No one is safe from The Onion’s satire, not even the family of ailing senator John McCain. The website is facing criticism for an article that mocked his daughter Meghan McCain after the family announced that they will be discontinuing medical treatment for his aggressive brain cancer, The Daily Wire reports.
“Meghan McCain Forced To Live Out Socialist Nightmare Of Empathy for A Sick Person,” the headline read.
Meghan is a co-host on The View who regularly voices conservative opinions. Last month, she fired off a rant about socialism on the show, GQ reports, in which she expressed her disapproval of congressional candidate Alexandria Occasio Cortez’s platform.
“This makes my head explode,” McCain said when another host said that the pillars of democratic socialism are evident in “successful countries.” She went on to say that she hopes the Democrats run a democratic socialist platform because she believes that will cause them to “lose spectacularly” in the midterm elections.
