They kowtow to people in the media, and it has been shown that statistically if Twitter were a voting bloc, it would be the second most liberal voting bloc in the \u2014 congressional district in the United States,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest gift that the Republicans have ever been given is the term \u2018defund the police,&#8217;\u201d McCain concluded. \u201cAnd let\u2019s make it very clear, Republicans didn\u2019t come up with that. I thought it was the stupidest thing I ever heard when I first heard it being used. And as Sara said, facts are stubborn things, and there\u2019s a huge homicide crisis in the country, and whether or not AOC likes it, it\u2019s okay for people to be concerned about a homicide spike. And I think that\u2019s going to be very effective going into midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan McCain warned Monday that as homicide rates spiked nationwide, continued calls to \u201cdefund the police\u201d would likely hurt Democrats.
