The View, on Thursday, discussed the continued deterioration of political discourse. And co-host Meghan McCain acknowledged that she has played a role with some of her heated commentary in the past.

As the nation deals with the fallout from this week’s multiple bomb scares, McCain told her colleagues that she’s done a lot of soul searching recently about the rhetoric she puts forward on TV. She specifically cited a moment earlier this year when she embraced President Donald Trump‘s “Crooked Hillary” moniker for Hillary Clinton.

“I said I hate Hillary Clinton and I called her Crooked Hillary and it’s one of the things I regret doing because I contributed on television. Now this is not saying that I agree with her. I have many vast differences of opinion on philosophy and ideology and I didn’t think she was a great candidate, but hate is not a word that should be coming out of my mouth on television about someone of a different political persuasion.”

McCain called on media figures to hold themselves accountable to “the same standard that I would like to hold the president.”
