Cosmopolitan is not known for being Republican-friendly, yet they hired Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain. Her first piece was posted Monday, “Donald Trump Is Destroying My Party.”

As Politico reported, McCain released a statement:
Cosmopolitan issued their own statement:
Red Alert Politics reached out to women’s conservative groups for their thoughts.
Carrie Lukas, the managing director of Independent Women’s Forum, was encouraged by the move, and noted why McCain may have been chosen:
The Network of enlightened Women (NeW) has a different take. For the 2014 elections, founder and president Karin Agness wrote op-eds for the Washington Examiner and the Washington Times.
Agness warned “ladies, don’t be fooled by Cosmo.” And, to Cosmo saying young women have been “derided, condescended to, and insulted,” Agness claims the magazine is doing just that by getting women out to vote through party buses with shirtless male models.
Diana Stacy, the NeW chapter president at Elon University, also wrote a piece for the College Fix about college women who decried Cosmo’s ploy.
McCain should be writing more pieces soon for Cosmopolitan. It will be worthwhile to note what kind of representative she serves to be for conservatism and the Republican Party.
