We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we\u2019re able to get vaccines in people\u2019s arms. We\u2019ve been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough for every American, to get every adult American to get a shot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in mean time everything\u2019s fine, take off your mask,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cForget it. It\u2019s still matters. \u2026 And it\u2019s critical \u2014 critical, critical, critical \u2014 that they follow the science. Wash your hands, hot water, do it frequently.

I think, unfortunately, the problem is, if you\u2019re President Biden, you have said that this is going to be, \u2018the soul of the nation is gonna come back, we\u2019re gonna have a complete and utter paradigm shift, angels are gonna come down from the sky, and there\u2019s going to be nothing but unity in the country.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain compared the wording to Hillary Clinton\u2019s \u201cdeplorable comment,\u201d saying that it \u201creally did end up hurting her\u201d when she talked about Republicans in a derogatory way during her 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>McCain told the other co-hosts, \u201cYou guys can laugh and say, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s a joke, whatever,\u2019 but Republicans across the country already feel like people on the Left think they\u2019re dumb rednecks, they\u2019re just stupid \u2018deplorables in baskets,\u2019 nobody cares with their trucks and their flags. That\u2019s what Republicans think the media thinks of them, so I was actually surprised to hear him throw around that language.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain went on to say that the president has \u201cmuch bigger problems right now,\u201d mainly pointing to the reality that he hasn\u2019t done a press conference yet. She said, \u201cHe\u2019s actually the first president in a hundred years not to do a press conference in the \u2026 first hundred days \u2026 Obama did in the first twenty days and President Trump did it in 27 days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added that when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is \u201cblowing off Republican questions and Republican talking points, all it does is \u2026 help Republicans be more tribal and think that we\u2019re just \u2018deplorable neanderthals,\u2019 the Left has no place for us, so there\u2019s no unity whatsoever, and I think it\u2019s really unfortunate. I don\u2019t like it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain also pointed out how the media is hypocritical in its coverage of Trump\u2019s commentary versus Biden\u2019s language.<\/p>\n<p>McCain\u2019s comments received backlash from media outlets, calling her reaction a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/meghan-mccain-melts-down-on-the-view-over-bidens-neanderthal-comment\">melt down<\/a>,\u201d even though her response was measured and considerate toward the people in the middle of the country who she describes as feeling stereotyped by members of the Left.<\/p>\n<p>McCain\u2019s father, late veteran hero and Senator John McCain, was friends with President Joe Biden for decades.
