NEWS'Monarchies Are Stupid': Meghan McCain Slams Royal Institution In Pro-American Rant & Whoopi Goldberg's Reaction Goes Viral
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell, two-hour CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey sparked heated conversations all over the world, and on Tuesday, March 9, the ladies of The View dove into a lively discussion about the Duchess and Duke of Sussex.
True to her outspoken nature, McCain didn’t hold back when the hot topic of the British monarchy came up, calling the institution “stupid” and insinuated that American culture was superior.
“I do not want to defend the monarchy,” the 36-year-old ranted. “I’m a red-blooded 100% American who celebrates freedom anyway I can and always, so being in a position where I’m supposed to defend the monarchy is uncomfortable.”
Seemingly going off on a tangent, the daughter of the late Arizona senator John McCain launch into a long-winded spiel about her love for the United States. She reminisced about how as kids, she and her siblings would pretend to be George Washington and the Continental Army crossing the Delaware River and attributed her passion for her country to her decision to name her daughter Liberty.
“I want to take this time to encourage all Americans to go to Mount Vernon and see why monarchies are stupid," she added. "The American experiment is the way to go, and if we have two American women, Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey, who are single-handedly finishing what George Washington and our revolutionary counterparts did, I’m all for it."
