Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>McCain first addressed the news that broke Tuesday when Democratic New York Attorney General <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/03\/new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-andrew-cuomo-sexually-harassment-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Letitia James<\/a> announced the conclusion of the independent investigation into the governor. James said that it was clear Cuomo had \u201csexually harassed multiple women\u201d and had violated both state and federal laws. <strong><a class=\"text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/03\/bill-de-blasio-andrew-cuomo-cnn\/\">(RELATED: \u2018Wolf, It\u2019s Disgusting\u2019: De Blasio Torches Cuomo, Lists Off All The Scandals He\u2019s Been Dealing With)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cohost Whoopi Goldberg began by asking McCain what she made of the situation and whether she was surprised by how quickly James had acted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you have to be a sociopath or a lunatic or just you know completely blind to reality in order not to take this as truth at this point,\u201d McCain said, noting that James was very prepared and professional and had made sure that the investigation was thorough and above board.<\/p>\n<p>McCain went on to say that what had surprised her was Cuomo\u2019s defiance at his press conference, denying any wrongdoing despite the many accusations against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the accusations, it goes way beyond just hugging and saying hi. It was, like, sticking a hand up a woman\u2019s dress in her front, touching breasts, touching the back of her neck \u2026 It\u2019s obviously inappropriate and disgusting and it\u2019s obviously sexual harassment,\u201d McCain added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a lot of issues with \u2014 with Andrew Cuomo, and the way he\u2019s been covered,\u201d McCain continued, arguing that the coverage had been especially egregious during the early days and weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. \u201cIf you remember there was this whole like Cuomo-sexual phenomenon in the media and with celebrities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain also pointed out that Cuomo was still under fire for his March 25, 2020, order that directed <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/03\/janice-dean-andrew-cuomo-face-music-sexual-harassment-nursing-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nursing homes<\/a> and rehab facilities to accept patients regardless of their COVID-19 status, arguing that he should be held accountable on that count as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese older people didn\u2019t matter. They could die in a really controversial and, you know, as far as I\u2019m concerned, it was murder on the part \u2014 and the blood is on the part of Governor Cuomo\u2019s hands, and we didn\u2019t care,\u201d McCain continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not that sexual harassment isn\u2019t disgusting and egregious and horrible, but it says a lot that our society does not care about old people. So, I\u2019m sad those 15,000 people will not get their day in court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain then pivoted to address CNN and the governor\u2019s brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot having to talk about the biggest scandal in the country when it has to do with your brother and you\u2019re hosting CNN, that\u2019s nepotism. The Cuomo family and CNN are the worst kind of nepotism that the media has an example of. If it were my brother, if my brother were somehow the governor and he had been accused of this, damn straight I would be talking about it on \u2018The View\u2019 this morning, and it makes all of them cowards,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/01\/meghan-mccain-chris-cuomo-response-andrew-cuomo-accusations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McCain<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope Governor Cuomo is either forced out of office or resigns and I hope his brother Chris Cuomo has any kind of retribution whatsoever for his show because there was a point in time when they were doing comedy sketches with giant Q-tips on air during the height \u2014 here, we have a picture, and this was all fine and good,\u201d McCain concluded. \u201cWhen it\u2019s fine, it\u2019s okay to air it. That\u2019s journalism? It\u2019s journalism now that he\u2019s bad and he\u2019s been accused of all this, and the investigation came out, it\u2019s all disgusting. We wonder why people hate the media and hate journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan McCain laid into CNN during Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cThe View,\u201d criticizing the network over anchor Chris Cuomo\u2019s coverage of his brother, Democratic New York Gov.
