The View’s Meghan McCain excoriated White House adviser and President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, for her response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Co-host Sunny Hostin disparaged multiple White House officials involved with the White House’s coronavirus response team on Friday’s show, after which McCain said she was “upset” with the president’s daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, because “they put on hats when they want it.”
“When you are a White House adviser and you want to create policy, you got that hat on,” she explained. “When you want to be a mom at home talking about how to entertain your kids, you got that hat at home. And I get moms can do everything. I get it. It’s not that she can’t talk about being a mom at the same time, but I haven’t heard anything — the three of us are raging about masks and ventilators.”
Earlier this week, the first daughter received criticism after she posted advice on social media for parents at home with their children who are no longer allowed to attend school.
McCain also noted that Trump grew up in New York City, one of the areas hit hardest by the pandemic in the United States.
“It’s incredibly tone-deaf to me if you are Jared or Ivanka right now,” McCain continued. “I am enraged in a way that I haven’t felt in a very long time about anything. So, it’s just sort of strange to me — when they want to be policy advisers, they’re policy advisers when it’s easy and convenient. But when crap’s really going down, and there’s a huge crisis, you want to put beautiful Instagram photos up, and I, for one, am not interested in it.”
Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, is leading a team of government allies and private industry representatives to work in tandem with the White House coronavirus task force being spearheaded by Vice President Mike Pence, according to the Washington Post.
There have been more than 14,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States, which has resulted in at least 187 deaths, according to CBS News, while more than 120 people have recovered.
