Meghan McCain of The View tweeted that her New York City neighborhood was left "a war zone" after a night of unrest—and one of her neighbors stepped in to immediately set her straight.

In a florid tweet on Tuesday in which she took aim at both New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Meghan was unsparing in her description of how the previous's night's unrest, which saw massive peaceful protests along with widespread looting, had affected her neighborhood.


McCain tweeted:

"My neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated and looks like a war zone. DeBlasio and Cuomo are an utter disgrace. This is not America. Our leaders have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities burn to the ground and be destroyed."

Kristen Bartlett, who is Co-Head Writer on TBS's Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, is also McCain's neighbor.

She immediately retweeted McCain with a succinct but brutal fact-check.

Looks like Meghan forgot about how millions of people also live in New York City and they also have eyes and many of them also have Twitter accounts with which to report the situation in the city.

McCain previously expressed outrage over the murder of George Floyd, tweeting that he was "murdered in broad daylight" and urging Floyd's family to obtain their own, independent autopsy to counter the seemingly deceptive narrative of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner in Minnesota.

Regarding the latter, McCain tweeted.

"George Floyd's family must demand an independent autopsy. I don't know what kind of sh*t is attempting to be pulled here but we all know what we saw happen to George on video..."

But McCain also has a history of denigrating the social justice efforts of Black Americans, such as her characterization of NFL player Colin Kaepernick's "taking a knee" protest as disrespectful to both the flag and America in 2018.

On Twitter, her fellow New Yorkers had several laughs at her expense.











So remember everyone, if you're going to lie on Twitter, at least make it something not easily fact-checked by other people's eyeballs.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
