Meghan McCain Faces Backlash For Saying She Didn’t Cry When RBG Died, But Did for Scalia

By

First of all, can we point out how freaking bizarre it is that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not yet even lying in state in the Capital and yet – with an election now only 40 days away – Trump and the Republicans have already promised to confirm a nominee that hasn’t yet been named? Except that most Republicans are acting as though they already know who the nominee will be? Especially the woman married to the head of the Federalist Society which prepares the judges for Trump?

Can we point out that this is not the process the framers intended, nor the process that Americans have used up to this point?

Enough of that.

Ms. Self-Important Meghan McCain made news yesterday when she – along with others like Lindsey Graham – got her talking points calling on her to justify naming a new SCOTUS nominee because of the Democrats’ “horrific destruction” of Brett Kavanaugh due to “baseless” (McCain and Lindsey’s word) charges of rape. The GOP really didn’t want to name a new nominee but the Democrats forced them to do it by being so awful.

Never. Ever. Let Meghan McCain deny that she’s a MAGA head to the core. After all, she’s married to Ben Domenech, head of the VERY Trumpy website The Federalist and as we see further below, she is out doing Ben’s legwork already. (Interestingly, Ben Domenech, conservative, has been married three times prior to age 40, which would normally be a red flag that something is quite wrong.  Additionally, there are some other red flags going on with the Federalist Society)

Anyway, today, Meghan is working for the person we presume to be Trump’s nominee (or McCain wouldn’t be addressing her), Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Meghan has quite a job to do because Barrett is not a normal judge or person. Anticipating some real blowback on the nomination, Meghan is already out accusing Democrats of disparaging Barrett’s religious beliefs. To be sure, Barrett’s religious beliefs are pretty “out there.”

“Amy Coney Barrett is a hardcore Catholic. Among other things, she has seven children. I completely expect her to be, if she is the nominee, to be slandered and maimed in a way we’ve never seen before. And I don’t think that’s what anyone wants,”

Wrong. Antonin Scalia was a “hardcore Catholic.” Amy Coney Barrett belongs to the group “People of Praise” which inspired “the Handmaid’s Tale.” According to Newsweek:

 People of Praise teaches that men have authority over their wives. Members swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another and are expected to donate at least 5 per cent of their earnings to the group.

Members of People of Praise are assigned to personal advisers of the same sex—called a “head” for men and “handmaid” for women … some former members have described how “heads” and “handmaids”—now known as “leaders”—can play a huge role in the lives of members, such as directing their choice of partner, where they live and how they raise children.

It sounds a great deal like a cult, whenever you give up some of your autonomy to another in your church … it sounds cultish. But let’s talk about that autonomy because no one gives a shit about Barrett’s religion. It’s how she uses it that matters.

That is the problem, but you’ll never hear it from Meghan, who is just doing her MAGA head duty.

Oh, and one other little Meghan McCain thing. Was this really necessary? To say she didn’t cry when RBG died? But cried when Scalia died?

People were grossed out:

Get ready to hear a lot from Ms. McCain in the very near future and never, ever, forget that she’s a MAGA head to the core. She’s sold-out her father’s legacy.

Peace, y’all
