Meghan McCain, a Conservative co-host on ABC’s “The View,” went against Kamala Harris on Friday’s episode, so far calling the vice president a “moron.”
Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) was welcomed to the show by McCain, who went off on Harris.
McCain began, “Vice President Harris was in Guatemala this week telling people seeking asylum in the U.S. not to come, Warning that they will be sent back. She is also taking heat for not visiting our own border yet, saying she’ll go at some point.”
“Even some fellow democrats think she is handling the crisis wrong.”
According to The Wrap, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is one of the Democrats who blasted Harris, calling her border rhetoric “disappointing.”
“I thought she sounded like a moron when she was talking to Lester Holt,” McCain continued. “Her nervous laugh is making me nervous that she doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
Harris controversial interview with Holt, in which she was questioned why she hadn’t visited the border as Meghan McCain was referring.
The Vice President replied with a laugh, “And I haven’t been to Europe, and I mean, I don’t understand the point that you’re making. I’m not discounting the importance of the border.”
.@SenJoniErnst tells @TheView it’s “imperative” that Vice Pres. Harris visits the U.S.-Mexico border: “The longer she waits, the harder it is for her to explain why she hasn’t gone to view this crisis herself.”

This came one day after America Ferrera a former star of “Ugly Betty,” criticized Harris on “The View” for telling migrants not to cross the border.
“For me, what she said is essentially telling a drowning person to stop flailing for their life, to not do the one thing that might save them or their child, It’s not only incredibly ineffective, as she knows, it’s cruel,” Ferrera stated.
On VP Harris’ message to migrants seeking U.S. refuge, America Ferrera says she felt “extreme disappointment.”
“As somebody who campaigned for, rallied and voted for Biden and Harris, it’s a slap in the face for all of the immigrant advocates who believed what they promised.” pic.twitter.com/FHUi89C3Ax
