Meghan McCain tried to get fellow Republican John Boehner to criticize President Joe Biden on Monday, but the former House speaker wasnt having any of it.
Boehner appeared on Mondays episode of The View to promote his new memoir, On the House, and McCain attempted to bait Boehner into going after Biden.
Im worried that were headed toward the most divided time in our nation, McCain said. President Biden has promised to usher in a new era of bipartisanship. So far, hes issued more than 50 executive orders and chosen to go it alone on issues like the stimulus. You said that President Obama never made reaching across the aisle a priority. Is Biden continuing the tradition?
Although Boehner accuses Barack Obama of metaphorically sucker-punching him in the book, he didnt have anything bad to say about Biden.

(9,955 posts)... she's doing her dumb job. Her job is to get attention for herself and the TV show... promoting something that creates "news" creates interest in the View and gets people squawking all over the Internet.

Biden thankfully has learned that bending over for Republicans is futile.
