Meghan McCain blasts conservatives for defending video showing Trump shoot her dad.

.

“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg condemned the video, which was shown at a political event attended by Donald Trump Jr. and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as “insanely disturbing,” and McCain blasted Republicans who were untroubled by it.

“I’ve been getting into it on Twitter with this, and people are saying, ‘This is just free speech or being a snowflake, you’re so sensitive,'” McCain said. “You’re talking about sitting senators and congresspeople, Maxine Waters, President Obama, the Clintons, my father. You can’t kill him again, but whatever. Black Lives Matter — these are real people.”

She called out Trump Jr., Sanders and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was also at the event, for not speaking out against the video.

“I am not someone who thinks we can’t have content and entertainment and writing and that talking about violence is important, but this is an entirely different thing when you use pictures of actual people who are still alive,” McCain said. “How easy for all of you judging me that I’m offended and upset by the video. You try doing this when a member of your family has continued to have this happen over and over and over again, and it doesn’t seem to matter to anybody in Trump world whatsoever.”

“You conservatives on Twitter, if this were the opposite,” she added, “it happened at an Obama event, you’d be screaming bloody murder. So stop.”

Like an abused spouse, she'll be back in the GOP fold, pushing their bullshit, on the next show.

She’d be screaming free speech if her father wouldn’t have featured in the video.

I guess that one hit a bit close to home for Ms McCain.

You're technically one of them, you should know that already. So get back to your job parroting their lies.

And PS, Emperor Fucknuts is still waiting for that Nobel Peace Prize!

"Yeah, I'm a snowflake if being a snowflake means having empathy for others, advocating for my position without resort to violence, and objecting to people who use violent tactics or rhetoric. In some circles, that's also called being a decent person, which may be why the concept sounds so foreign to you."

You'd have a lot more credibility on this if you practiced it even when it doesn't directly affect you.

Gee, Meghan, don't you know that what goes around comes around unless YOU stop spinning it? There are more things in Heaven and on Earth than are ignored in your narrow, self-centered concerns.

When you feed a monster like the GOP with it's raging, orange head, don't complain about it puking entrails all over you. Instead of talking about your results, own them and defect. Otherwise, realize that that rabid, nihilistic clusterfuck ideology is likely to eat you alive, too, and not much sympathy is to be had for that. Even the Devil deserves more, just for being forthright about his intentions.

Waking up to something...ah...what's that called?...consensual REALITY, Meghan? It can be a shock, pampered pumpkin.

Cons only care about something when it directly effects them.

I want to see the look of utter pleasure on Don Jr.'s face as he cheered over the video. I want to see Huckabee's reaction to seeing her boss shoot up a church. Don't show me the fiction. Show me the reality. MFs. Nazis. Vichy Republicans.

However upsetting this video was to her, it wasn't upsetting enough for her to ditch the GOP.

Are you so called conservatives having masturbatory dreams of the reaction you are getting from this video?

What kind of honorable people put offensive dangerous and disturbing images in the public domain just to excite and arouse themselves?

When the alleged 'liberal' media finally learns to start shaming and embarrassing shit stains polluting our government, they will start to notice that the immature antics and gimmicks will start to fall away from conservatives in the government.

Let the Trumps and republican minions go back to being carnival barkers at their FOX Fantasy World of Dumbfuckistan.
