“Everyone at this table, and I think, people that watch this show or have ever seen the dumpster fire of my interview with Seth Meyers know I have been one of Ilhan Omar’s most vocal critics regarding Israel, regarding some of her comments I and others interpreted as anti-Semitic,” McCain said. “But the problem right now is, you’re taking away my agency to criticize her policy.”

“You’re making this about race, xenophobia, racism,” she added. “I think any time you’re hitting in a territory where you’re telling any American citizen of a different color than you, to send them back, I too didn’t think this is something I would see in my country, especially going into 2020.”

1. I honestly thought this was going to be an Onion article.

She is almost as self-absorbed as Trump.

2. Any chance we could stick her in a Vietnamese prison for five years?

Or, you know, forever?

3. He's doing this using the media

Using racism to redirect away from child sex trafficking ties with Epstein and others now. Media needs to not let him manipulate them doing this. He knows it'll only fed his base with race issues, but they will run away from his being outed with Epstein as a child predator.

6. I didn't hear that.

I'm the last person to defend Meghan McCain, but I thought what she said was fine. She expressed that Trump turning the conversation into one about race short circuits the ability to criticize policy. Nowhere in the segment did she say "I'm the victim." I thought she was on point during the whole conversation.

7. She's technically correct, but maybe the topic is too serious for her personal grievances?

If the city has been flooded, maybe don't complain how your garden has been ruined?

11. as usual, she made it about HERSELF

she is so freaking self-absorbed

8. Who is the "you" she's referring to in "you're making this about race . . . "?

9. Society at large. She's pissed that society doesn't care about her grievances.
