Meghan McCain Threatens to ‘Spill the Tea’ About Kamala Harris – But Nobody Seems to Care What She Has to Say

Whoops!

Meghan McCain, the poster child for “Do you know who I am?!?” entitlement, is back in the news today… Or at least, she’s trying to be. It seems that Maverick, Jr. has had just about enough of people trying to trade on her dad’s good name.

Except for herself, of course.

During a recent campaign event in John McCain’s home state of Arizona, Kamala Harris recalled a time at the beginning of her career in national politics. Harris had already served as District Attorney for San Francisco and as the Attorney General for the state of California, so when she went and got herself elected as a Senator from the Golden State, she wasn’t exactly wet behind the ears.

But she was a freshman Senator, and national politics is a whole different ballgame than just working for your own state. However, John McCain had been in the Senate for 30 years by the time she made it to the national stage. Heck, he’d already run for president by then, losing mostly just because he was running against the most popular candidate of all time.

Some say John McCain would have been a good president, for a Republican. He might have governed the country a little like Eisenhower did. We’ll never know. But he saw that kind of potential in Kamala Harris, according to the anecdote the Democratic nominee told in Arizona earlier this month.

[You] walk up to the Senate floor, and there are these big, wooden, ornate doors. And those ornate doors opened, and John McCain came out … He’s going after me, and I’m going back after him. I’m going back after him, and that was it. This is what the public saw. And then I step onto the floor of the well of the Senate, later that day, we had votes, and I passed by John McCain. And he looks at me, he says “Kid, come over here! You’re gonna make a great Senator!” True story.

Now, that’s one of those feel-good, across the aisle stories that anyone would love. Democrats and Republicans alike both loved John McCain a lot like they love Kamala Harris (you never saw such support for a conservative from liberals, or a liberal from conservatives), and stories like that are the stuff we WISH our political history was made up of entirely.

Meghan, however, did not feel that way.

On her X social media account, the First Daughter That Never Was got fired up about Kamala “using” her dad’s memory to, uh, make people feel good, I guess. Or, more precisely, she doesn’t want anyone using the patented Good Guy of the Senate™ for their own purposes except for her.

Alright, this is already bad. I know Meghan has a problem with trying to look like a good person and then inadvertently saying what she really thinks and defeating her own efforts, but you can see she’s about to step in quicksand here.

Because the memory of John McCain is nearly unblemished, aside from his tendency to be a war hawk. It would be hard to pry a bad story about the former POW Senator out of anyone from either side of the political aisle, except maybe Donald “I like pilots who weren’t shot down” Trump.

Is she about to call her father a two-faced liar? You’re kind of defeating your purpose here, Meg.

But no, her next tweet was about her, as usual. Now, there’s hardly enough room in this article to fit the size of the irony involved in watching Meghan invoke her dead dad to complain about people invoking her dead dad. But gosh darn it, she was going to try. And she was going to sound like an idiot doing it, even if it made her sound like an idiot doing it.

SPILLING TEA? What are you, auditioning for The Shade Room? It was bad enough when white people started using “izzle” to mimic Snoop Dogg. Do NOT use the phrase “spilling tea” if you look like a gardenia when you wear a green dress.

Sure, people were annoyed by her massive, whining, dripping hypocrisy.

But mostly folks were disgusted with her in general.

What exactly is taking so long, Meghan? Where is the “tea” you warned us you were going to spill?

The biggest irony of all, however, is that Meghan is wasting her breath as a McCain. Her mother Cindy crossed party lines and endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and her brother Jim is currently campaigning with Tim Walz, Kamala’s running mate.

Could that be because the alternative to Kamala Harris is literally the one guy who is a dick about John McCain?

Clean up this mess, Meghan. You got tea on everything. It looks like Boston in 1773 in here.
