Meghan McCain

Meghan McCain is firing back after far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos made disparaging comments about her weight on Tucker Carlson’s podcast.

“I am aware [that] on the most recent episode of Tucker Carlson’s show a subject of conversation with his guest was my weight — particularly how fat I am,” McCain wrote in a post on X on Thursday.

She was responding to a Wednesday episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” where Yiannopoulos referred to McCain as her father’s “fat friend.”

“What’s gayer — I’m not saying he was a practicing homosexual — is there anything gayer than John McCain’s, like, bloodlust?” Yiannopoulos said while discussing closeted gay people on the right.

“He’s even got the fat friend. It’s his daughter. He even bred the fat best friend,” the British commentator added.

“Is there a more ostentatious f*g hag in America than Meghan McCain?” he continued. “She hates herself. She’s fat. She’s crazy. She’s every gay man’s dream.”

McCain addressed the remarks directly.

“Yes, I am very fat, I’m almost 9 months pregnant with my third child,” she continued with her post on X. “I am also very happy.”

While Carlson didn’t explicitly insult her weight, he asked Yiannopoulos why McCain was “every gay man’s dream.”

“They want to visit upon their female friends the cruelty they wish that they could perform on their mothers,” Yiannopoulos replied. “They want to make her feel fat and ugly and ridiculous because that’s what their mother did to them and there was no dad around to protect them.”

In her post, McCain called out Carlson’s supposed values and condemned the tone of the conversation.

“I don’t care how many times Tucker talks about being a Christian, that is not Christian behavior to engage in such a conversation on one of the largest podcasts in the world,” she wrote. “This kind of meanness to women and hypocrisy is a classic example of why the right has such a problem with women voters of my generation.”

“Don’t feel bad for me, people have been calling me fat since I started in media at age 22. It is old, lazy, tired,” she added.

“I don’t make my living off of ugliness like that and truly can’t fathom what life is like for anyone who does,” she concluded. “It must be very dark.”
