"SNIP.....

The coronavirus crisis has shaken "The View" co-host Meghan McCain's faith in the nation's leadership.

McCain last month described her "existential awakening" to just how badly served many Americans were by "horrible" elected officials, and Friday she explained that she doesn't trust that President Donald Trump and many Republican governors value public health in deciding to reopen the economy.

"We were told in the beginning, it's no more contagious than the flu, it's totally safe to fly around, donate your masks — it's ridiculous," McCain said. "All of that has been turned on its head. I can't leave my house without wearing a mask. It's highly contagious, nothing like the flu. We can't travel anywhere. I can't go anywhere, and all I can do is go for a walk privately once in awhile.

...


"We'll probably have to social distance in theaters," she said, "and I think part of the problem is there's just so much misinformation flying around all the time, and it's hard to believe that the people in power have our best interest at mind, which is really heartbreaking to say to all of you."

......SNIP"

What crap.

She remains the same clueless twit she has always been, benefiting from a famous name and fortune. Like so many others we can all name.
