“The View” host Meghan McCain criticized CNN anchor Chris Cuomo for his response to a National Rifle Association ad featuring a rape victim arguing for gun rights.
“Kim Corban is a rape survivor who is now choosing to tell her story & arm and protect herself. I think a real question is why so many men in the media always treat conservative women like our values, life experiences and perspective is some kind of joke. Like we are valued less,” McCain tweeted at Cuomo Wednesday after he criticized an NRA ad on Twitter.
Corban appeared in the NRA ad describing her rape experience in college.
“I’m a mother of two, and if that predator or anyone else tries to harm me or my family, they have to come through my firearm first,” Corban said in the ad.
Cuomo retweeted the ad on Twitter, saying “Only in America.” He responded to criticism that he was downplaying the experience of a rape victim by saying McCain misinterpreted his intentions.
“Read what I tweeted. You have my intentions wrong. A survivor story and the right to bear arms is not where we are stuck…We can’t get past this deadlock on all or none to make reasonable changes to help reduce deadly violence. Happy to talk if you have more questions,” the CNN host said.
Corban responded to McCain’s criticism of Cuomo thanking her for her support.
