Hell hath no fury like an expectant mother scorned.
Meghan McCain, who is nine months pregnant with her third child, issued a scathing statement after British far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos repeatedly called her “fat” on “The Tucker Carlson Show.”
“I am aware on the most recent episode of Tucker Carlson’s show a subject of conversation with his guest was my weight — particularly how fat I am,” McCain, 41, posted Thursday on X.
“Yes, I am very fat, I’m almost 9 months pregnant with my third child. I am also very happy,” she added.
Though Yiannopoulos is the one who made the derogatory comments, McCain slammed Carlson — a former Fox News contributor who claims to be a practicing Christian — for participating in the discussion.
“I don’t care how many times Tucker talks about being a Christian, that is not Christian behavior to engage in such a conversation on one of the largest podcasts in the world,” the daughter of late Sen. John McCain insisted.
Meghan, who is politically conservative, went on to argue, “This kind of meanness to women and hypocrisy is a classic example of why the right has such a problem with women voters of my generation.”
The former “View” co-host urged the public not to “feel bad” for her, as she’s been the subject of body shaming since the start of her media career at the age of 22.
“It is old, lazy, tired,” she said of the criticism of her physical appearance. “I don’t make my living off of ugliness like that and truly can’t fathom what life is like for anyone who does. It must be very dark.”
During Wednesday’s episode of Carlson’s podcast, he and Yiannopoulos spoke about “closeted gays” in right-wing media, with Yiannopoulos asking Carlson whether there was “anything gayer than John McCain’s bloodlust.”
He continued, “I mean, he’s even got the fat friend. It’s his daughter. He even bred the fat best friend. Is there a more ostentatious fat hag in America than Meghan McCain? You know, she hates herself. She’s fat. She’s crazy. She’s every gay man’s dream.”
Yiannopoulos — who has worked with controversial rapper Kanye West in recent years — did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
As for Meghan, she announced in June that she and her husband, Ben Domenech, were growing their family.
The couple — who are already parents to daughters Liberty, 5, and Clover, 2 — will be welcoming a baby boy.
