Meghan McCain Fearful 'A Marjorie Taylor Greene' Will Become President, Calls for Calm

Meghan McCain, co-host of ABC's The View, said Wednesday that she was afraid that if lawmakers don't attempt to tamper divisive rhetoric, someone like controversial Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene could eventually be elected president.

Before her election to the House, Greene made comments aligning herself with conspiracy theories, including that the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida was a "false flag" event. Greene also allegedly expressed support for social media comments calling for violence toward Democrats before taking office.

McCain has criticized Greene in recent days for her comments, expressing concern that Americans will equate Greene with all Republicans. While discussing the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, McCain said the possibility of someone like Greene in the Oval Office made her "fearful."

"I really call to the rest of you on this show," McCain said, "and to everyone in America to all of us collectively come together and really try and amp down this temperature as much as we can because I don't want to see any more violence, and I'm actually scared about what the future holds, and if we just keep demonizing each other, and attaching all Republicans with those lunatics on Capitol Hill, we're going to end up with a Marjorie Taylor Greene as president, and I'm more fearful of that than possibly anything else facing us in the future."

The time has come. Then they need to open their mouths and VOTE accordingly in this impeachment trial. They can’t hide behind their silence any longer.

The Radial Right Wing is only 30% of the Rs. That's not enough to win the Presidency.

But wait, is SHE, or other Rs like her, going to vote for MTG?

I doubt if any of the Far Left would cross over to vote for MTG....

had your chance during the 1st impeachment proceedings to use your connections your influence your voice to pressure republican in the Senate to remove the criminal the treasonous trump from office and in turn send a message to the Marjorie Greenes in your party. You, your friends at Fox news, the followers of your husband's work all continued to cry fowl because you are treated so poorly. Elections have consequences and actions along with inaction have consequences. Republicans have to pay the price for their actions and decisions. Until that happens unity can wait.
