“The View” co-hosts Meghan McCain and Whoopi Goldberg got into a heated exchange Thursday after McCain criticized President Biden for snapping at a reporter following a press conference on his European trip the day before.
“Just because Trump was so bad, it doesn’t absolve Biden’s bad behavior,” McCain said, referring to former President Trump‘s often contentious interactions with the media. “What he just did was 100 percent Trump-y. I just think I would like a little intellectual consistency. If Trump had done that, we would be screaming at the top of our lungs … one way or another.”
Biden, at the end of a Geneva press conference after a high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, grew angry and shouted at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins after she asked him what makes him confident Putin will change his widely condemned behavior.
