'Just the worst': Internet slams Meghan McCain for claiming Biden 'doing grave spiritual harm'
Meghan McCain is attacking President Joe Biden with the sword of religion and the Internet is not having it. Having once presented herself as a moderate, McCain has increasingly moved to the far right, but her latest diatribe may be her most extreme yet.
"I believe that he is doing gave spiritual harm to himself and harm to this country," McCain said of President Biden, over his support of a woman's right to choose abortion.
McCain decided to side with the majority of U.S. Catholic Bishops, who themselves are violating a Vatican directive to not "weaponize" of politicize the most sacred rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.
"He's going to have to ultimately talk to his creator when the time comes as we all do," she added, "and reconcile his politics with his personal faith."
Biden, who is 78, is a devout and practicing Catholic who attends church at least weekly. McCain is 36. Her spouse is Ben Domenech, co-founder and publisher of far right wing website The Federalist.
Many online were furious with McCain, who just four years ago said, "I love this Pope," referring to Pope Francis, adding she had just read an article promoting the idea the the GOP should follow the Pope and "live in the real world."
The Pope, or his officials, told U.S. Bishops to not go down the road they are going, trying to withhold communion from Biden and other Catholic lawmakers over their support of abortion.
I\u2019m pro life. But where does Meghan McCain get off imposing her faith on another human being\u2019s faith? Who is she to say what Joe Biden must say to his creator? None of us know the truth, so all of us should be humble enough to allow each of us to profess our own personal faith.https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1406997774789402624\u00a0\u2026— Joe Walsh (@Joe Walsh) 1624291712

Utter nonsense by Meghan McCain. President Biden's personal faith is just that personal. He can't make American's follow the tenets of his Catholic faith. He is the President of all Americans. I don't really know why that is so hard for her to understand.— Lynn Clark (@Lynn Clark) 1624293547
@MeghanMcCain Biden doesn't agree with abortion personally but as POTUS he understands it's not his place to push his religion upon others. Once again, you fail to understand separation of church and state, Ms. McCain. Read about it: Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.— Ruby Darcy (@Ruby Darcy) 1624293295
She is just the worst. I\u2019m sorry but she is. I mean my god.https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1406997774789402624\u00a0\u2026— Molly Jong-Fast (@Molly Jong-Fast) 1624290489
Meghan McCain is a talentless, hypocritical, vapid hack, who has traded on her name for far too long.\nShe gets to use a massive platform to spew utter nonsense and inconsistent blabber.\nWhy?\nBecause of her dad.\nThat\u2019s it.\nThat\u2019s the single reason she gets to be on television.— Jo (@Jo) 1624290099
Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cpolitics\u201d is to not force his personal beliefs on the rest of us, which is a position I wish more elected officials held.— Nicole David \ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc1d (@Nicole David \ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc1d) 1624292381
Just curious. When they talk to their creator, are her and her husband going to have to explain them being bankrolled by white supremacists?\n\nWhat exactly gets you through the pearly gates?https://twitter.com/alexkotch/status/1404884006710263823\u00a0\u2026— Eamon Paton-Usry (@Eamon Paton-Usry) 1624289633
Meghan McCain: \u201cAbortion is murder.\u201d\n\nAlso Meghan McCain: \u201cThe AR-15 is by far the most popular gun in America. I\u2019m not living without guns \u2026if you\u2019re talking about taking people\u2019s guns, there\u2019s going to be a lot of violence."https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1406997774789402624\u00a0\u2026— Shannon Watts (@Shannon Watts) 1624291291
I would tag Ms. McCain but she blocked me. Please see Article VI of the U.S. Constitution: \u201cno religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.\u201d Also see the First Amendment. Thanks. Bye.https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1406997774789402624\u00a0\u2026— Jennifer Taub (@Jennifer Taub) 1624290468
When @MeghanMcCain first started grifting off her father\u2019s name, she was loudly pro marriage equality, pro marijuana legalization, and \u201cnuanced\u201d on abortion.\n\nNow she uses her father\u2019s name to trash his old friends and make a buck.https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1406997774789402624\u00a0\u2026— T\u00edo Sam (@T\u00edo Sam) 1624293296
