Yesterday on “The View,” co-hosts Meghan McCain and Joy Behar got into a heated argument about socialism. Behar was talking out of her backside as usual, but according to BuzzFeed’s Dorsey Shaw, McCain was the irrational one:
I had a lot of fun watching Meghan McCain completely melt down at the thought of Democratic Socialists coming for her inherited wealth pic.twitter.com/IFBkTKL4K6

Soledad O’Brien couldn’t help but agree with Shaw’s assessment:
Full on freak out https://t.co/rVl5HogBur

But McCain didn’t see it that way:
Get a life Soledad – I’m passionate and don’t want my grandkids growing up in a socialist nation. https://t.co/qnYyREZUct

We can definitely understand that.
Why can't Meghan just chill out about a philosophy that's led to the destitution and murder of hundreds of millions of people? Pfft. https://t.co/fy7SGD6Xgw

Soledad can take her rose-colored glasses and shove ’em.
Amen

Update:
Soledad O’Brien’s back for more:
Hi @MeghanMcCain ! I have a (busy!) life—four kids, run a small business, anchor some tv shows, been an award winning journalist for a minute (not to brag ❤️). Watch you’re video. You were having a full-fledged freak out. It undermined your argument. You should work on that. https://t.co/yDUFjQ6QE3

Patronizing much?
*your. (As I’ve said many times, I can’t spell).
— Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) July 25, 2018
You can’t take a hint, either.
Sad to see a woman undercutting another one in this way. “Freak out” is some bullshit I’d expect to hear from a mansplainer. https://t.co/kDzccV0Hk2

@soledadobrien This is such bullshit, Soledad. Do you ever remonstrate Joy or Whoopi or Ana for their shrill screaming or are only leftist women allowed to yell over people?
— Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) July 25, 2018
Isn't this a Twitter freak out by her, by that same standard?
I prefer to let everyone have their say, how they want to say it, and let people decide for themselves.
