Meghan McCain slammed the men who defended President Trump on TV news shows over the weekend amid an impeachment inquiry storm, saying that women would have been called “hysterical maniac crazy bitches” had they behaved like them.

“When you’re bringing up the deep state, when you’re blaming the media, you’ve already lost,” McCain said during a segment on “The View” in reference to Trump allies making the rounds on the Sunday political shows such as White House adviser Stephen Miller and conservative talk show host Mark Levin.

“I will say, if any of the women on this show behaved the way some of the men were behaving, we would be hysterical maniac crazy bitches all over the internet, and these guys get away with behaving like that,” she added to applause from the live studio audience in New York.

“They have come undone,” co-host Sunny Hostin concurred.

“I was so angry. But the blatant sexism, the way some of these men are being covered and the way we’re covered in the media — I was furious. I was, like, if any of us went on TV, dropping F-bombs, screaming into the camera in, like, this direct way with props behind us, we would all be fired,” McCain added.

McCain also referred to the 47 tweets the president has sent out since the impeachment inquiry was announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as “a tornado of stupid.”
