“The View” co-host Meghan McCain said on Monday that liberals like Katie Couric and others who called for “deprogramming” of some Donald Trump supporters could “go to hell”.
McCain said he believed there would be a stronger desire for unity on the part of Democrats after President Biden’s electoral victory, but said that the language of liberals was more concerned with dehumanizing Trump supporters, which she considered dangerous for Democrats and the country. . Couric and several others, including McCain’s colleague Sunny Hostin on “The View,” referred to Trump supporters as “brainwashed” or in need of “deprogramming” in the past two weeks.

“I just have a different perspective on how the government should be run.”
