Meghan McCain does some soul searching and admits her past rhetoric on "The View" was polarizing

Salon  

The news that a series of suspicious packages containing explosive devices were addressed to top Democratic figures and CNN inspired panic across the country this week – and ignited a conversation about political discourse in America, which has become increasingly polarized. As the topic was discussed Thursday by the panel on "The View," co-host Meghan McCain admitted to her colleagues that "she's done so much soul searching" recently, and was willing to admit that she had contributed to the angry rhetoric that is polarizing America. McCain specifically recalled a time when she adopted President Donald Trump's "Crooked Hillary" controversial nickname for his Democratic rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "He's getting harassed and heckled when he goes out in public to have dinner," McCain said about Mitch McConnell. "Every time he says things like, 'The press is the enemy of the people,' his entire party needs to stand up against him and say something," Behar said.
