Meghan McCain: ABC's Martha Raddatz sounded 'completely psychotic' in Vance interview

Conservative pundit Meghan McCain blasted Martha Raddatz of ABC News for the way she handled an interview with Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on the network’s Sunday public affairs program “This Week.”

“It’s really insane Martha and her producers didn’t see how awful her line of questioning sounds to a normal person,” McCain wrote Sunday on the social platform X. “I’m sure she would have different feelings if she lived next to an apartment complex filled w/ Venezuelan gangs.”

McCain, a leading media personality on the right, was referencing a question Raddatz asked Vance, former President Trump’s running mate, about whether he supports Trump’s remarks about the presence of gangs in Aurora, Colo., even after its Republican mayor said they were “grossly exaggerated” claims that have hurt the city.

“The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” Raddatz said, noting the Republican mayor said law enforcement has “acted on those concerns.”

McCain sounds like a Trumper in this instance.

As long as possible.

She is not now or ever been relevant to the American political conversation.

Sorry, Meghan - you have completely lost your way and wouldn’t know common sense or decency if they smacked you in the head.

Did she not endorse Kamala Harris? Or maybe only her mother and/or brother did?

Also, I don't think anyone has ever accused the sedate Martha Raddatz of sounding "completely psychotic" - although I certainly have accused her of favoring Rethugz. Glad to hear that changed this one time at least. And I didn't even hear about it until this story; thanks for the Streisand Effect, Ms. McCain!

Oh really,... news to me.

I always thought of her as a rich girl loud mouth who is very much inclined to lean Fascist. In her quest to remain relevant in today's MAGA GOPee.

She is not smart, she has no charisma, and she has an obnoxious personality. If her last name wasn’t McCain she would be an ordinary person living an ordinary life. She would never have a career in the media if it was based on her talents, of which she has none.
