“I was very frustrated when I saw this clip,” she said. “The fact that Dr. Fauci is going on CNN and he can’t tell me that if I get the vaccine, if I’ll be able to have dinner with my family… or dinner with older people. It’s terribly inconsistent messaging, and it continues to be inconsistent messaging.”“I was very frustrated when I saw this clip,” she said. “The fact that Dr. Fauci is going on CNN and he can’t tell me that if I get the vaccine, if I’ll be able to have dinner with my family… or dinner with older people.

The host’s comments were not received well, prompting some netizens to demand her firing instead, as many slammed Monday’s tirade as “selfish” and uninformed, while defenders of Fauci insisted she made a “mockery” out of an “American hero.”The host’s comments were not received well, prompting some netizens to demand her firing instead, as many slammed Monday’s tirade as “selfish” and uninformed, while defenders of Fauci insisted she made a “mockery” out of an “American hero.”
“I’m calling for The View to fire Meghan McCain and replace her with someone who actually ‘does understand humanity’ because she is a selfish princess out of touch with the realities of everyday human beings,” one user wrote.“I’m calling for The View to fire Meghan McCain and replace her with someone who actually ‘does understand humanity’ because she is a selfish princess out of touch with the realities of everyday human beings,” one user wrote.
McCain soon shot back at her critics, doubling down on her call on the Biden administration to give Fauci the pink slip.McCain soon shot back at her critics, doubling down on her call on the Biden administration to give Fauci the pink slip.
“Many of you can keep worshiping at the alter [sic] of Fauchi [sic]. I’m not a phony – I will not go on TV and lie saying one thing privately and another on air,” she said. “This is my opinion.

Fauci made waves last weekend after telling CNN’s Dana Bash that Americans may be asked to wear masks until sometime in 2022, with critics accusing him of redefining the meaning of “normal” and shifting the “goalposts” for when the pandemic-related restrictions might finally be lifted.Fauci made waves last weekend after telling CNN’s Dana Bash that Americans may be asked to wear masks until sometime in 2022, with critics accusing him of redefining the meaning of “normal” and shifting the “goalposts” for when the pandemic-related restrictions might finally be lifted.
