What Does Meghan McCain Really Think Of Her Critics?

Meghan McCain spent several years going toe-to-toe with some of the toughest critics on daytime television during her time on "The View." She is also someone who has often talked about her father, the late Senator John McCain, and how much he meant to her by repeatedly calling him her "hero." When the senator died in 2018, Meghan shared a touching tribute to him on Twitter. "I was with my father at his end, as he was with me at my beginning. In the thirty-three years we shared together, he raised me, taught me, corrected me, comforted me, encouraged me and supported me in all things," she wrote. "He loved me, and I loved him."

Meghan has also wasted no time in quoting her father whenever times get rough, like when Donald Trump renewed his attacks on her father back in 2019. She shared a quote on Twitter that said, "Illegitimi non carborundum," which translates from Latin to "Don't let the bastards grind you down." While it might seem like a week hardly goes by that Meghan doesn't talk about her father, some of her critics have gone even further and suggested that she might be suffering from "severe daddy issues." Here's what Meghan has to say about it.

Apparently, Meghan McCain sees, hears, and knows that the world believes she might possibly have some "daddy issues" because of how often talks about her late father John McCain in public. But Meghan has had enough of all the trolling, and she's taken to her Twitter account to once again share her thoughts on the matter. 

"The stupidest part of my life is being a receptacle for everyone in the world who has severe daddy issues they haven't dealt with purging their insanity onto me because I loved mine so much and yes – answer questions about him whenever I'm asked," she wrote, adding that it's her critics and trolls who "need therapy." In a follow-up tweet, Meghan wrote, "Imagine being bullied by people for loving your deceased parent so much." 

While some of her critics responded by saying that no one is criticizing her for loving her father, most would agree that Twitter therapy is hardly a sympathetic audience and maybe the last place you'd want to talk about it. Perhaps Meghan can take a lesson from her sister and John's other daughter, Bridget McCain, who has, by and large, managed to avoid the same criticism.
