'The View': Meghan McCain Sparks Backlash After Calling Kamala Harris a 'Moron'

The View panelist Meghan McCain has sparked backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris a "moron" during a recent episode of the daytime talk show.

McCain's comment came when she referenced a recent NBC News interview with Harris. "I thought she sounded like a moron when she was talking to Lester Holt,” McCain said, speaking on how she feels Harris handled questions about immigration issues and the U.S.'s relationship with Mexico.

McCain added, "Her nervous laugh is making me nervous that she doesn’t know what she’s doing." The co-host had been directing her comments mostly toward republican Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, who was a guest on the episode, as she was seeking Ernst's perspective. "Vice President Harris was in Guatemala this week telling people seeking asylum in the U.S. not to come.

Warning that they will be sent back," McCain said. "She is also taking heat for not visiting our own border yet, saying she’ll go at some point." Her "moron" comment, specifically, has enraged The View watchers, and many are taking to social media to criticize her. Scroll down to see what they are saying.

She needs to be fired right fucking now. Her own mother is embarrassed by her comments.

stir up controversy and keep the show on people's minds. Seems like The View makes headlines every week or two and every time it's because MM said something stupid. It's all on purpose imo.

... Meghan is certainly earning her paycheck. She gets a lot of attention for the TV show... Kamala is not unintelligent, however. Efforts to brand her as stupid will fail.

If Harris had gone to the border it would've been dismissed as a shallow photo op while we'd all be thinking: Melania Trump and her "I Don't Care" jacket, how richly ironic.
