Republican political commentator fox-news-flash” target=”_blank”>Meghan McCain< and ripped leftist voices, specifically on “Saturday Night Live,” who continue to demean Virginia Lt. Gov-elect Winsome Sears.
McCain on Tuesday reacted on “fox-news-flash” target=”_blank”>The Story<“. “It’s a historic moment in the fact that she’s a Republican and by the way, a veteran, [and] should be getting much more applause. If she were a Democrat, she would be on ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine. Instead, she’s a punchline on ‘Saturday Night Live’.”
McCain noted that the media and left continue to attack Sears, but have assented to outgoing Gov. Ralph Northam remaining in office following a scandal in which a yearbook photo purported to show him in either a Ku Klux Klan robe or dressed in blackface.
“That photo and the racist and offensive attitudes it represents does not reflect that person I am today,” Northam said in the wake of the scandal, with the Onancock, Va., native adding that it does not embody his work as a pediatrician in the region or as an Army physician.

On “The Story,” McCain noted Sears has even challenged another liberal critic, MSNBC host Joy Reid, to a debate on her primetime program after the pundit similarly mocked and derided her.
McCain, who lives in Virginia with her husband, Federalist publisher Ben Domenech, and their young daughter, said that she is, however, honored to have the former Norfolk state lawmaker as her lieutenant governor-to-be.
“It’s just a glaring example of the hypocrisy of the left,” she added. “Everyone is someone that should be celebrated. Any woman in office should be celebrated unless they’re a conservative woman … but it doesn’t matter, [we] see it for what it is. It is a historic moment and I have high hopes for the leadership she is going to bring into Virginia.”
