Meghan McCain Tries But Fails To Get John Boehner To Attack Joe Biden

Meghan McCain tried to get fellow Republican John Boehner to criticize President Joe Biden on Monday, but the former House speaker wasn’t having any of it.

Boehner appeared on Monday’s episode of “The View” to promote his new memoir, “On the House,” and McCain attempted to bait Boehner into going after Biden.

“I’m worried that we’re 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, he’s 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 didn’t have anything bad to say about Biden.

They've known each other a long time, and they both know how to reach across the aisle when it's necessary. Meghan McCain on the other hand ... all she knows how to do is make enemies.

... 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.

or Democrats no matter how much it gets watered down or compromised on. Biden could literally copy and paste some bill written by Republicans under Trump and they would still turn around and oppose it.

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