Meghan McCain Blasts Tucker Carlson’s ‘Hypocrisy’ After Being Called ‘Fat’ by His Podcast Guest

Meghan McCain had a pointed message for Tucker Carlson.

The 41-year-old TV personality and author — who is pregnant with her third child — spoke out after she was called fat by political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos on the Wednesday, December 3, episode of The Tucker Carlson Show.

“I am aware on the most recent episode of Tucker Carlson’s show, a subject of conversation with his guest was my weight — particularly how fat I am,” the daughter of late Sen. John McCain wrote on X (formerly Twitter) the day after the episode aired.

On Carlson’s podcast, Yiannopoulos — who was married to a man, but has since claimed that he is no longer homosexual and has advocated for conversion therapy — questioned if there was “anything gayer than John McCain’s bloodlust?”

Before answering his own question, he then said, “He’s even got the fat friend. It’s his daughter.”

He then referred to the former View co-host as a “f** hag,” a slang term for a woman who primarily surrounds herself with gay men. The term is usually associated with stereotypes that include the woman being unattractive and occasionally overweight.

“You know she hates herself,” Yiannopoulos continued. “She’s fat. She’s crazy. She’s every gay man’s dream.”

In McCain’s X post, she appeared to brush off the insults and confirmed that she is “very fat” due to the fact that she’s “almost 9 months pregnant with my third child.”

She continued, “I am also very happy. I don’t 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. This 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.”

“Don’t feel bad for me,” she told followers. “People have been calling me fat since I started in media at age 22. It is old, lazy, tired. I don’t make my living off of ugliness like that and truly can’t fathom what life is like for anyone who does. It must be very dark.”

On November 22, McCain — who shares daughters Liberty, 5, and Clover, 2, with husband Ben Domenech — shared a photo on Instagram showing off her baby bump.

“8 months bumping along!” she wrote in the caption, receiving well-wishes and praise in the comments section as the birth of her first son approaches.
