“The View” co-host Meghan McCain is sharing her opinion of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) supporters after being trolled on social media.
During Monday’s discussion, McCain and her co-hosts talked about the South Carolina Democratic primary results and the upcoming Super Tuesday election. Whoopi Goldberg offered her thoughts on what Democrats should do to revise policies implemented by the Trump administration.
To which, McCain responded, “I think you’re indicative of a lot of the American public though.”
McCain went on to share her thoughts on Goldberg’s statement where Sanders’ approach to governing is concerned.
“I think when you’re talking about Bernie Sanders completely remaking and reanimating not just our health care system but the United States of America as it has existed since its incarnation, people get very nervous right now,” said McCain.
“And I do I think going into Super Tuesday, I stand by the fact that it’s going to be a cage match. This is his Alamo. This is his last chance to become president,” she added.
She continued with details about her online experiences with Sanders’ supporters revealing how she’d been trolled on social media.
McCain added, “Him and his supporters are the dirtiest thugs I’ve ever seen on social media. They’re not going to let this go, they’re not going to go out easy. And the argument between the AOCs of the party and the more traditional Democrats, I think it’s going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.”
Sanders’ supporters have fiercely supported him during his time on the campaign trail. In fact, Sanders has also been met with opposition as a result of his supporters being accused of crossing the line with seemingly abusive online behavior.
As previously reported on IJR, Sanders apologized to former Vice President Joe Biden after one of his supporters accused him of being corrupt.
