Meghan McCain is known for sparking controversy on the daytime series but this week, Sunny Hostin was able to check her cohostâs rhetoric head-on. After McCain suggested America move on from discussing the deadly Capitol siege that took place in January, Hostin said the insurrection is something we should never forget.
“The party of law and order, [Republicans] should be ashamed of themselves for what they did yesterday, what they continue to do, and that is an important story that we should never, ever, ever stop talking about or forget,” said Hostin.
âOnly have one response to Meghan McCain’s opinion, on #TheView this morning, concerning the insurrection on January 6. Thank you Sunny Hosting for speaking truth to power,â tweeted a user.
âICYMI… Hereâs Sunny Hostin debunking Meghan McCainâs dubious right wing talking points. #TheView,â added another.
It has only been four months since former president Donald Trumpâs supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol, leaving five dead and over 100 injured on January 6.
The conversation took off when fellow host Whoopi Goldberg introduced a clip of Rep. Andrew Clyburn (R-GA) stating that the footage of the takeover looked like a simple and âa normal tourist visit.”
Whoopi said: âWhat was he smoking?â and directed the conversation to McCain, who appeared uninterested in the topic.
“Well, this happened four months ago, and weâve been talking about it for four months, and Iâve made my perspective on it crystal clear. I think itâs horrific, I donât believe the âBig Lie,’â said McCain.
McCain argued that the topic was outdated and a strategy to cover up problems in President Bidenâs administration.
âThereâs a crisis at the border, the Middle East is on fire, inflation rates are sky high, unemployment is crazy, people canât get gas in their cars⌠I think we should be focusing on that vs. re-litigating something that happened four months ago,â said McCain.
The show began to trend because Twitter users could not believe what they just heard.
âMAGA Meg: We need to move on from the insurrection. Sunny: Never!,â tweeted a user.
âIs she kidding @TheView@MeghanMcCain?! Republicans were still talking about Hillary Clintonâs emails 4 YEARS after sheâd left the state department,â added another.
As per theGrio, Despite McCainâs lack of interest in discussing the Capitol take over, the FBI continues to arrest those involved in the riot.
Just a few weeks back, a woman on Bumble reported a man she matched with on the dating app for bragging about his participation.
The man, Robert Chapman, was arrested on April 22 and is now one of the hundreds being charged for participating in the deadly Jan 6. takeover.
âI did storm the capitol,â he said to the woman on Bumble, according to court documents. âI made it all the way to Statuary Hall.â
The woman, whose name was not released, replied, âWe are not a match,â before reaching out to authorities.
The Carmel, New York resident was taken in by the FBI and charged with disrupting official government operations and trespassing at the U.S. Capitol.
