Meghan McCain called the Clintons a “virus” on “The View”
Tuesday in response to remarks Hillary Clinton made in India Monday calling
Trump voters racist and sexist.
McCain also said Clinton’s messaging is maybe
not the best for the Democratic party coming into the midterm elections.
"His whole campaign: 'Make America Great Again' was
looking backwards,” Hillary told a
crowd in Mumbai of Trump. “You know, you didn't like black people getting
rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs, you don't want to you
know see that Indian American succeeding more than you are, whatever your
problem is, I'm going to solve it.' So it was a symptom."
“She ran one of the worst campaigns ever,” McCain said in
response to Clinton’s remarks, “she didn’t do the kind of ground game in
Wisconsin and North Carolina that she should have. I think at this point if you
can’t stop making this about virtue-signaling and race, a lot of it was about
poverty, a lot of it was about the economy, a lot of it was this anti-Washington
sentiment, anti-establishment sentiment that we should’ve seen growing within
the Tea Party.”
“Honestly, I have to tell you,” she added. “It’s one
thing to lose to President Obama. It’s an entirely other thing to pull off
losing to President Trump. And you gotta come up with a better excuse than
this.”
McCain warned that Hillary’s messaging could backfire in
the upcoming midterm elections.
“If your messaging is that you want to go back in
time, that women can’t think for themselves, that our husbands, and our bosses,
and our sons tell us what to do, that’s quite the message going forward into
midterms and [the] general election,” she said.
“The Clintons are a virus in the Democratic Party. You
have to move on,” she said.
"View" host Joy Behar partially agreed with
McCain.
“Well I thought that it was time for them to back off
right now,” Behar agreed, “I don’t think that they’re helping the party right
now.”
