GOP Hypocrisy

Irony Blows Up Social Media as Meghan McCain Tries to Call Out Hunter Biden for Being a ‘Nepo Baby’

Girl, don't.

Remember that time you were putting on your makeup on the interstate and you slammed into the Subaru in front of you, and since you didn’t have any brake lights on, you caused a 12-car pileup behind you?

And then there was that time that you were riding in an Uber and the driver gunned it through a yellow light, and you called the cops on him for being a reckless driver?

Hi, Meghan!

On Monday, Meghan McCain thought she would be clever again. I guess she was tired of people not talking about her being a half-wit for a couple of weeks or something, I don’t know. The point is, it sounds like Meg is thinking of converting to Catholicism, because it seems like she’s angling to be named Patron Saint of Do You Know Who My Father Is.

That’s nothing new, she’s always been that way. But the very best examples, the times when she seems the most clueless, are when she tries to accuse someone else of doing the thing that she is the undisputed champion of.

Case in point: On Monday, Meghan got out her special tweetin’ glasses, perched them on the bridge of her little Rita Skeeter nose, and tapped out this INSANELY tone-deaf missive:

Now, I know it’s a natural urge to want to punch things, but you need the device you’re reading this on. Resist the urge and read on, because Meghan got the social media ass-whuppin’ she had coming to her. I think Saint John himself probably would’ve pardoned every single commenter before he pardoned her for writing such an idiotic tweet.

And here’s the thing. At the risk of being roasted on the Costco rotisserie chicken rack in the back room of the Third Circle of Hell: John McCain wasn’t even really all that great.

Hear me out. I did like that part where he corrected the crazy old lady at his town hall during the 2008 campaign that thought Obama was a Muslim. I especially enjoyed the whole Gladiator-style thumbs-down he gave on the Senate floor for the “Skinny Repeal” of the Affordable Care Act, when he got off his dying bed to save the lives of Americans who couldn’t afford two months of the glioblastoma he died from.

But then there was that part where he sang “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran” on that same Senate floor. Ooh, and that cringe moment when he voted against making Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday a holiday in Arizona. And there’s the fact that the Heritage Foundation, the authors of Project 2025, outlined him voting along their exact views two-thirds of the time his last term in the Senate.

But the real kicker is, she KNOWS Joe Biden. Joe Biden held her in his arms on The View as she cried, declaring “Her dad is one of my best friends.” Meghan McCain absolutely knows that the aggressive prosecution of Hunter Biden was purely political.

Anyone else facing the kind of charges Hunter Biden initially faced would have been subject to prosecutorial discretion — the prosecutor would decide what was appropriate and necessary to charge the defendant with, and pursue only that. And that’s initially what Trump-appointed US Attorney for Delaware David Weiss did. He negotiated a non-prosecution plea deal, then changed his mind, and Biden agreed to the even worse (for him) second deal that Weiss negotiated.

Then Trump himself called David Weiss a big crybaby poopypants on social media, and Weiss went full bore. A piece from MSNBC kind of sums it up:

Hunter Biden possessed a firearm for a total of 11 days. At no point during those 11 days was the firearm loaded or used, and, without his knowledge, a third party took the gun from him and disposed of it in a garbage can. Prior to Weiss’ indicting Biden, prosecutors did not believe the evidence even supported a prosecution. And his substance abuse problem at the time merited, at the most, a diversion program. In fact, Biden’s lawyers have argued that in the history of this district in Delaware, no individual has ever been charged under the same facts as Hunter Biden has.

Meghan knows Hunter was prosecuted unfairly. Hell, Weiss wasn’t even appointed as special counsel constitutionally — a special counsel is legally mandated to come from outside the government, and as noted above, Weiss was (and remains) the US Attorney for Delaware. And Trump himself had, prior to President Biden’s pardon, VOWED to make Hunter’s life hell, over something less serious than anything he pardoned, say, a member of HIS family for.

Oh, did you forget he pardoned his son-in-law Jared’s dad, Charles? You should brush up on that. Charles was a felon, Trump pardoned him, and now he’s the ambassador-designate to France.

Nepotism isn’t for the faint of heart, and besides, Meghan’s the champ.
