Pregnant Meghan McCain blasts Tucker Carlson after his podcast guest repeatedly calls her 'fat'

WASHINGTON, DC: After​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast repeatedly called Meghan McCain "fat," she is taking a strong stand against the conservative commentator. 

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, December 4, the 41-year-old wrote that she was aware of the conversation between Carlson and far-right commentator Milo ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Yiannopoulos.

Meghan McCain makes it clear she is 'very fat' and 'very happy'

McCain wrote, "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."

"Yes, I am very fat, I'm almost 9 months pregnant with my third child," she added, stressing, "I am also very happy."

McCain announced that she and her husband, Ben Domenech, were expecting their third child in June. McCain and Domenech are already parents to daughters Clover Jade, two, and Liberty Sage, five. 

During the podcast, Yiannopoulos reportedly made derogatory comments about McCain's weight as well as her father, late former Senator John McCain, and Carlson didn't say a ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌word.

About an hour into the conversation, Yiannopoulos asked Carlson if there was “anything gayer than John McCain’s bloodlust" as the pair discussed "closeted gays" in right-wing media.

"I mean, he’s even got the fat friend. It’s his daughter," Yiannopoulos said as Carlson silently listened. "He even bred the fat best friend. Is there a more ostentatious fat hag in America than Meghan McCain? You know, she hates herself. She’s fat. She’s crazy. She’s every gay man’s dream."

Meghan McCain says it is not 'Christian behavior to engage in such a conversation'

“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,” McCain further wrote, adding that this is the “kind of meanness to women and hypocrisy” that explains why conservatives have “such a problem with women voters of my generation.”

She urged people not to pity her, pointing out that she has faced weight-related criticism ever since she began her media career at age 22. “Don't feel bad for me, people have been calling me fat since I started in media at age 22,” McCain wrote.

“It is old, lazy, and 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,” she further said.

McCain’s response reverberated across social media, potentially deepening the divide between conservative media personalities and a generation of women who view such commentary as hostile and hypocritical.
