Megan McCain backs Nancy Pelosi amid feud with Trump: 'A bad b***h in control of a room entirely filled with men!'
'The View' co-host Meghan McCain chimed into the ongoing scuffle between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after he called her a "third rate politician."
The 34-year-old displayed her support for the 79-year-old top Democrat with a tweet on Wednesday, October 16, HollywoodLife reports.
“What is this thing everywhere where tough women who don’t put up with s–t are ‘unhinged’?!” Megan said. “Nancy looks like a bad b—h in control of a room entirely filled with men!”
McCain was responding to a tweet by the president in which he included a photo of Pelosi standing with her finger pointed directly at him. “Nervous Nancy’s unhinged meltdown!” the 73-year-old US leader quipped alongside the image.
However, Pelosi fired back by appropriating the photo as her Twitter cover image. The move was quickly noticed by her Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill, who tweeted saying, “Thanks for the new cover photo @realDonaldTrump!”
Pelosi's supporters applauded her decision to use the photo—which she updated just hours after storming out of a Wednesday meeting with President Trump—touting it as an example of standing up to a bully.
However, her critics saw it as an example of how the Democrats were fighting with the Trump administration at every turn. While the meeting was unproductive by all accounts, Senator Chuck Schumer and Pelosi told reporters outside the White House that it was Trump who "had a meltdown" and had called the House Speaker either a "third-rate" or a "third-grade" politician.
"I pray for the president all the time, and I tell him that... I pray for his safety and that of his family. Now, we have to pray for his health, because this was a very serious meltdown on the part of the president," Pelosi said.
Meanwhile, Schumer told reporters they walked out of the meeting when Trump "started calling Speaker Pelosi a third-rate politician." "He was insulting, particularly to the speaker. She kept her cool completely, but he called her a third-rate politician," Schumer said. "This was not a dialogue, it was sort of a diatribe. A nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts."
As the top Democrats stormed out of the meeting, Trump reportedly remarked saying, "I'll see you at the polls."
The relationship between Pelosi and Trump has steadily deteriorated in the run-up to the 2020 presidential elections.
Most recently, Pelosi slammed President Trump over his decision to withdraw US troops from Syria, saying it was an abandonment of the Syrian Kurds. Furthermore, she initiated a formal impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives after Trump requested Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, his rival in the 2020 presidential elections.
