Political commentator Meghan McCain took to social media to express her concerns over what she perceives as cult-like worship of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. In her pointed remarks, McCain highlighted the alarming nature of such fervent support, drawing parallels between defenders of both political figures.
McCain’s statement reads:
“The hysterical Biden defenders are exactly the same as the hysterical Trump defenders and frankly this cult worship of our presidents is really scary and exactly the opposite of what that position was intended to be when created by our founding fathers.”
McCain emphasized that this kind of unwavering loyalty to a political leader is contrary to the vision of the presidency as originally intended by the founding fathers of the United States. She argued that the role of the president was meant to be one of service and leadership, not one that inspires fanatical devotion.
Her comments have sparked a wide array of responses on social media, with some agreeing with her critique of excessive political fandom, while others defend their passionate support for their respective leaders. The debate underscores the deep divisions and intense emotions that characterize the current political climate in the United States.
As the daughter of the late Senator John McCain, Meghan McCain has been known for her outspoken views and willingness to criticize both sides of the political spectrum.
