Meghan McCain Apparently Thinks Russia's Still in the G7 (They Aren't)
The View’s Meghan McCain, who fashions herself as a political and foreign policy expert, called for Russia to be booted from the G7 over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s imprisonment of a political dissident on Wednesday. There’s only one problem: the group of influential nations kicked Russia out seven years ago. McCain was asked at the top of Wednesday’s broadcast of The View whether or not she was happy to see the president have a conversation with the Russian leader.
“I think that Russia should be kicked out of the G7 especially, especially while Alexei Navalny is sitting in a Russian prison simply for seeking democracy in Russia,” McCain confidently declared.
Moments later, McCain’s colleague and frequent sparring partner Joy Behar relished the opportunity to correct McCain live on-air. “Well, since I’m not an expert on Russian international information, but I do know one thing and that is that Putin was kicked out of the G8 which is why it is now the G7. He is not in the G7 at this point,” Behar boasted.
“That’s correct. That was my mistake. Sorry. That was my mistake, Joy,” McCain conceded before seemingly blaming the faux pas on being “very sick.”
“I apologize. You’re right,” McCain added.
“That’s fine,” Behar responded. “Happy to correct you!”

Then Russia got kicked out, so now it's G7.
Duh!
Didn't mean to offend anyone on DU.
