'Needed some McCain Republicans after all': Late senator’s daughter mocks Kari Lake’s low polling

Meghan McCain, the former conservative co-host of The View, and daughter of former US Senator John McCain (R-AZ), took aim at Arizona senate hopeful Kari Lake in response to reports that the far-right candidate is polling lower than her Democratic opponent.

HuffPost's Yashar Ali reported via X: "A new Fox News poll reveals that Arizona Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego is leading Republican Kari Lake by a whopping 15 points. Ruben Gallego: 56% Kari Lake: 41%."

The conservative media commentator replied: It’s almost like Kari may have needed some McCain republicans after all…"

Lake lost McCain's respect after the senate candidate told supporters of the late John McCain to "get the hell out" of her gubernatorial campaign event in 2022.

When Lake attempted to apologize in February, Meghan McCain replied: "Kari Lake is trying to walk back her continued attacks on my Dad (& family) and all of his loyal supporters after telling them to 'get the hell out'. Guess she realized she can’t become a Senator without us."

The former television show co-host added: "No peace, b—h. We see you for who you are - and are repulsed by it."

Lake took a hit earlier this week when the Arizona Police Association — which "typically supports Republican candidates for elected office" — endorsed Gallego over her.

"The APA does not take our endorsement lightly; we recognize the importance of having a U.S. Senator that can bring people together to improve society for all," the group said in a press release. "We believe Congressman Gallego will be that U.S. Senator."
