Meghan McCain: Harris 'sounded like a moron' discussing immigration
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Meghan McCain, co-host of "The View," slammed Vice President Harris over remarks she made during her visit to Guatemala and Mexico this week, arguing Harris "sounded like a moron" when responding to questions on why she hasn't visited the U.S.-Mexico border yet.
McCain's commentary came during Friday's talk show, when the hosts held a panel with GOP Sen. Joni Ernst (Iowa) and comedian Michelle Buteau to discuss whether it is possible to achieve bipartisanship amid a time of heightened political divisions.
McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), asked Ernst what she thought of Harris's Latin America trip this week.
Harris during a Monday press conference in Guatemala repeatedly told migrants "do not come" to the U.S. border, adding that the Biden administration's goal was "to help Guatemalans find hope at home."
The vice president has also received bipartisan backlash over responses to questions on when she plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border amid the ongoing surge in migration from Central America.
"And I haven't been to Europe," Harris said in an interview with NBC's Lester Holt when pressed on the topic. "I don't understand the point that you're making. I'm not discounting the importance of the border."
McCain referenced the NBC interview on Friday, saying Harris is "taking heat for not visiting our own border yet" and noting that "some fellow Democrats think that she's handling the crisis wrong."
"I thought she sounded like a moron when she was talking to Lester Holt and her nervous laugh is making me nervous that she doesn't know what she's doing," said McCain, who indicated last year that she would vote for President Biden in the 2020 election.
.@SenJoniErnst tells @TheView it's "imperative" that Vice Pres. Harris visits the U.S.-Mexico border: "The longer she waits, the harder it is for her to explain why she hasn't gone to view this crisis herself."
"Let's figure out the solution." https://t.co/f8u2wbJuikpic.twitter.com/dpFYhkqUcH

The co-host earlier on Friday had tweeted a clip of a Univision interview with Harris, in which Harris explained, "I've said I'm going to go to the border," to which the interviewer interrupted, "When are you going to the border, vice president?"
"I'm not finished," Harris said before smiling and letting out a chuckle. "I've said I'm going to the border."
McCain in a tweet with the clip wrote, "That nervous joker laugh... it's not funny Vice President. None of this is."

Both Democrats and Republicans alike have leveled criticism against Harris for her overall performance on the Latin American trip and her sidestepping of questions on a potential border visit, with Ernst on Friday saying it was "imperative" that Harris travel to the border soon.
"I think the longer she waits, the harder it is for her to explain why she hasn't gone to view this crisis herself and form her own opinions about what's going on," the senator explained. "So, I would just encourage her to do it very, very soon, and let's figure out the solution."
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) on Thursday called on both Harris and Biden to visit the border, but to make sure to "not do a staged visit."
"Come and sit down with people that I've met through all my life. Talk to the sheriffs, talk to the mayors, talk to the county judges, talk to the business leaders. They're frustrated because what they're seeing is, they're seeing people just coming in in large numbers," he said.

Appears as though Ms. Harris is in way over her head on immigration issues.
I sure hope no one is seriously counting on her to do anything to solve the problems.
She’s in way over her head on virtually every issue. That’s what happens when one sleeps their way to the top instead of earning their way there.
Why does McCain look constipated in that picture? Is that typical of all alleged 'conservatives'?
Why the fuck are you asking me, and what the FUCK does it have to do with what she said?
Please leave your toilet "humor" aside.
The reason cackling kammy sounded like a moron? She is a moron.
By Jove, I think you've got it!!!
Indeed!
Megan McCain sounds like a moron every time she opens her mouth. I am sure that many of her comments makes her Father in Heaven cringe. He was a man of integrity and intelligence, and sadly Megan is just a dim witted buffoon.
She may well be all of that, but her comments about Ms. Harris are spot on and undeniably the truth.
Not really. Her comments are meant only in meanness, not as a means of stating the truth. VP Harris is way beyond Ms McCain. If Ms McCain was all that smart she would be the sitting VP. But, as she can't rise that high off her snooty high horse she can only sit at a table of blabber mouths and shoot her mouth off, and pretend to be so profound and know all there is to know about everything.
I will agree that VP Harris has some learning to do as VP, but, that is true of every person who is new to the WH and Oval office. Even Pence didn't know what was actually expected of him a VP, and he had some days of foot-in-mouth before he learned the ropes. So..is VP Harris not allowed to have the same learning period? Or is your bias to big to allow her the same as what was allowed for Pence?
I get that is your perception.
Being "smart" has absolutely nothing to do with it. Given the simple fact that she has never run for office of any kind, that would be akin to me saying you aren't smart enough to be Vice President. Sounds stupid now, doesn't it?
Agreed.
Well, damn, girl!
Are the Democrats criticizing Ms. Harris also all biased?
LOL!
Well damn, guy! I didn't ask about the Democrats, but, as you like to deflect in order not to answer a question, and it is your seed, I will cede your deflection. And yes, IMHO, the Democrats who are criticizing Harris are also biased. Why? Because, not everyone like to see a woman in a 'mans' position, so to speak. Basically, the main reason why the VP's trip to the Latin countries did not go well. Latin men are well known not to approve of women being in a 'mans' position, especially, when it comes to politics. If VP Harris had been a man the meetings would likely have had a much different outcome.
However, being as you don't think I am worthy of your answering my question, and instead want to engage in a game of deflection, I don't see where I can continue oour conversation.
Have a good evening.
I'll try real hard to give her as much leeway as Democrats afforded her predecessor.
Perhaps ask a question without the bias shit thrown in and I may have answered you right away.
That makes it plain that Biden picked the wrong person for the task then.
Good nighty!

Pure BS! She's a mush mouthed moron who is unfit and unqualified to be president.
Undeniably the truth?
Sorry, I don't have time or patience to explain what the truth is to you.
come back tomorrow!
Very good. You managed to accurately copy and paste my words.
That sounds wonderful for you.
We are not friends nor do you know what I think of myself.
Sheer inanity.
Your post may bother someone who gives a shit what you thought.
I refuse to get excited over what some internet yahoo thinks of me.
I'll leave that shit for the progressive snowflakes.
You must be a Hillary fan.
😂
Her 15 mins is long over. Now she needs to just STFU and go away.
Ah, conservative women should just shut up, huh?
How tolerant!
Nah, just the stupid ones that shouldn't be talking. The smart ones can talk all they want, I'm sure there's one out there, somewhere.
So a stupid one accurately assessed the situation the stupid elected one has found herself in.
So you listen to the stupid ones.
Did you read the article?
I don't care if she is left, right, or conservative. She just needs to STFU.
Why, because she dared to criticize a progressive's favorite?
Harris has a short fuse too. Don’t interrupt her talking points or she gets pissed.
"the Biden administration's goal was "to help Guatemalans find hope at home."
Do Guatemalans pay taxes in the USA?
There are plenty of Americans that need “hope” but we all know Americans come last with this bunch of idiots.
Who voted for, and who voted against, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ?
Thanks as always for your profound 'memes'!
Harris won a US Senate seat and Vice Presidency...
McCain was voted "Dumbest Member of The View"!
Here’s an interesting fact, I won the same number of delegates as kammy the cackler did in the dem primaries.
Yet got 7,000,000 more votes than Trump!
Ya really gotta learn how this works - Harris did not get 7,000,000 more votes than Trump. VP's are NOT voted on.
Hell, Harris was totally defeated in her run for President and that was only after her FIRST AND ONLY debate - why do you think she would receive any votes?
She is VP only because she is a woman of color
I do hope the gop keeps saying shit like that because it is why women and minorities vote for Democrats. Keep it up. Please. I mean it!
Women and minorities also vote for Republicans, you know.
Do not be pedantic. You know what I meant...
Sorry, I don't pretend as some do that I "know" what you mean, so I use the old way of READING what people post and assuming that they MEAN what they post.
I always hate it when some fucking yahoo "interprets" what he or she "thinks" I mean instead of simply reading what I post.
What is the sense of posting if we aren't to go by the words contained therein?
Never have had a MAGA hat.
Not really my style.
"Shrinking demographics" has been bandied about for at least 20 years now. Ho hum.
Seems like if the demographic was shrinking so badly that Democrats would have much, much, MUCH larger majorities in the House and Senate.
I'll look you up after the midterms and let you regale me with some more tall tales!
Inanity continued, I see.
Good job with the funny pictures of your hero.
he looks like Jeff Dunham's Walter to me.
I'm in a rather unique position where I'm located and the people I interact with, the vast majority being from other diplomatic missions to England.
With not one exception, they all note that America needs to "pray" (I don't do that myself, but there are a lot of Americans that do) for the health of Joe Biden since if he dies or gets removed from office America will be led by a clueless blathering idiot the likes of which has never before been seen on the international political scene.
To that I can only note that VP Harris is an absolute embarrassment to herself and America but she has actually made Joe Biden look good in comparison. And that is exceptionally sad and scary at the same time.
Really XM, what would you say if I said that I didn't believe a word you said?
I never thought you'd resort to those dumb ass memes!
When ya got nothing, post a meaningless dumb ass meme!
Are you incapable of ignoring them?
And coming from you.........LMMFAO!
