Meghan McCain is firing back after far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos made disparaging comments about her weight on Tucker Carlsonโs podcast.
โI am aware [that] on the most recent episode of Tucker Carlsonโs show a subject of conversation with his guest was my weight โ particularly how fat I am,โ McCain wrote in a post on X on Thursday.
She was responding to a Wednesday episode of โThe Tucker Carlson Show,โ where Yiannopoulos referred to McCain as her fatherโs โfat friend.โ
โWhatโs gayer โ Iโm not saying he was a practicing homosexual โ is there anything gayer than John McCainโs, like, bloodlust?โ Yiannopoulos said while discussing closeted gay people on the right.
โHeโs even got the fat friend. Itโs his daughter. He even bred the fat best friend,โ the British commentator added.
โIs there a more ostentatious f*g hag in America than Meghan McCain?โ he continued. โShe hates herself. Sheโs fat. Sheโs crazy. Sheโs every gay manโs dream.โ
McCain addressed the remarks directly.
โYes, I am very fat, Iโm almost 9 months pregnant with my third child,โ she continued with her post on X. โI am also very happy.โ
While Carlson didnโt explicitly insult her weight, he asked Yiannopoulos why McCain was โevery gay manโs dream.โ
โThey want to visit upon their female friends the cruelty they wish that they could perform on their mothers,โ Yiannopoulos replied. โThey want to make her feel fat and ugly and ridiculous because thatโs what their mother did to them and there was no dad around to protect them.โ

In her post, McCain called out Carlsonโs supposed values and condemned the tone of the conversation.
โI donโt 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,โ she wrote. โThis 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.โ
โDonโt feel bad for me, people have been calling me fat since I started in media at age 22. It is old, lazy, tired,โ she added.
โI donโt make my living off of ugliness like that and truly canโt fathom what life is like for anyone who does,โ she concluded. โIt must be very dark.โ
