Mary Trump Calls Out Meghan McCain Live on The View for Ducking Her Segment: A Shame She Didnt Have the Courage
Mary Trump appeared on The View to promote her new book Reckoning, which explains the national trauma suffered by her uncle, former President Donald Trump and suggests a way to heal. During her appearance, however, she took a clear shot at co-host Meghan McCain who did not participate in either of the two segments in which she was interviewed.
This is an incredibly powerful platform, Trump continued, and I think the more we talk openly about these things its a shame that your colleague didnt have the courage to come on and have this conversation with me but I appreciate that you were all willing to take up these very difficult subjects because racism in my view is at the heart of everything thats wrong in 21st century America.

She thanked her for coming and went to break.

I guess it's still vivid in Meghan's mind.

(26,256 posts)NOTHING and NOBODY seemed to be able to stifle her disrespectful and nonsensical screeching.

And yes, I ended the sentence with a preposition on purpose

Siwsan
(26,256 posts)Most people are being much kinder to her, with their criticism, than she's ever been to anyone else.
Strangely, she's not getting much support. Ok, perhaps not so strange.

(82,849 posts)Yeah, Meghan's getting dragged pretty good for that pissy little comment. Sad!
