Meghan McCain left no doubt that she “got over it today” in the In cash. This morning, a discussion about Dr. Seuss quickly got out of hand when Joy Behar said the right’s obsession with “canceling culture” was a distraction from the Republican senators’ refusal to pass the COVID-19 relief bill. The comment infuriated McCain, who described the bill as a “feverish dream on the left” full of “pork” unrelated to the pandemic, and in a short time the two entered into a dispute that left no co-presenter unharmed. .
Interestingly, McCain was relatively restrained when it came time for her to discuss the issue of Dr. Seuss, which the right-wing media repeatedly cited as an example of “canceling culture”, despite the fact that it was Dr. Seuss Foundation that chose to withdraw six books that he found offensive. “I always think sunlight is the best disinfectant and I always want to know what my enemies are thinking,” she said, explaining that she does not support a ban on books like Hitler’s Mein Kampf because she wants to “learn from history” instead of ignoring it. “There is much more nuance than being a left-right issue … Part of the issue of cultural war that is going on now is the difference of opinion between wanting things to still exist and wanting to learn from the past and things that have won ‘ t. “
Behar then jumped up to say that “this pearl clinging” to Dr. Seuss is “a distraction from the fact that no Republicans in the Senate voted for the COVID relief package” on Saturday. “That same party voted 100% together to provide tax breaks for the rich,” she said. “They don’t want you to see why it is not popular in this country to vote against COVID’s relief by putting food on the table of suffering Americans. This is what they are doing now. What is the distraction. “
“This could have been a hot topic on this show,” interrupted McCain. “It is because 9% of the bill is, in fact, to the relief of COVID. It is completely stuffed with pork and is basically a feverish left dream with things that are pushed into this bill along with it. That was the problem with conservatives. “
When Behar tried to say that the relief bill is popular with “60% of Americans,” McCain insisted that his co-host’s previous comment was false. “I think we should have that relief bill only going to the relief of COVID, for nothing more! Just wages for the average American, ”she said. “9% of all this account goes to Americans. That’s the problem that conservatives have – not because we hate the poor and we don’t want people to have help during the worst economic crisis of my generation. And I think the narrative and framing of that is not just an uncontrolled insult, it is actually inaccurate! [I’m] about it today! “
Presenter Whoopi Goldberg tried to launch the discussion to Sara Haines, who had not yet joined the conversation, but her colleagues had other plans. When Behar started shouting about “Republicans,” McCain repeatedly closed it, shouting, “Get over it today! About it today! Get over it today! “
The two continued (“Calm down, girl,” Behar said at one point), but it quickly became clear that the conversation was going nowhere. “We are going to take a break now because it is not working as well as we would like,” said Goldberg. “We will be back.”
