I think all of them looked bad. I think it\u2019s beneath Congress and, you know, the issues about liberty and freedom, I think it\u2019s easy to just say that Republicans are being contrarian,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/05\/meghan-mccain-blasts-biden-targeting-georgia-election-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McCain<\/a> replied.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/24\/meghan-mccain-tammy-duckworth-playing-into-gop-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McCain<\/a> went on to argue that, to Jordan\u2019s point about liberty, the pandemic had been politicized and the \u201crules\u201d seemed in many cases to be arbitrary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to use in California when you look at the draconian lockdowns that [Democratic Gov.] Gavin Newsom took to such an extent that have absolutely savaged small business owners. There\u2019s a video that went viral of a woman who is hysterically crying outside her bar and she\u2019s showing at her bar \u2014 it should be locked down and she shouldn\u2019t be open because it\u2019s not safe. Literally right directly in front of her is a movie set open where there\u2019s tables set up for people to have lunch,\u201d McCain said. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me that\u2019s not political, because it was more important according to Gavin Newsom to have movies open than small bars and small businesses at the same time he\u2019s going and eating with his friends at the French Laundry inside, indoors, not wearing masks?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe term \u2018rules for thee and not for me\u2019 became popular because there were so many governors and elected officials who were doing and behaving in ways that were not on the rules they were telling the American public to do,\u201d McCain continued. \u201cPeople \u2014 Republicans are contrarian. They are skeptical of big government. That is who we are. It\u2019s in my DNA and makeup to question authority and question government because we think big government is bad. We don\u2019t think that bending the knee to big government overlords is the answer to everything. That is an innate philosophical difference between Democrats and Republicans. Unfortunately the virus and vaccine have become politicized, but to lay the blame at the feet of Republicans is just intellectually dishonest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I know there\u2019s a difference between the two parties,\u201d Behar pushed back, arguing that blaming Fauci wasn\u2019t the answer either. \u201cWhy blame Fauci? Your argument is against government not Fauci. He\u2019s just a scientist trying to do his job.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan McCain criticized members of both parties after a contentious Coronavirus Select Committee hearing devolved into a shouting match.McCain responded to the hearing, which took place Thursday, during Friday\u2019s broadcast &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2276105,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-430330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2276105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
