        Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden
    
Meghan McCain is no friend to the LGBTQ+ community.
Why say that?
Though in public she does performative allyship, she has no record to speak of when it comes to the support of queer or trans people. Her husband Ben Domenech is the founder of The Federalist, a right-wing publication with a long history of anti-LGBTQ+ material, most recently anti-trans material.
McCain is a vocal supporter of the Republican Party which has repeatedly included anti-LGBTQ+ statements in their official party platform. There are GOP initiatives being pushed across the United States attacking the rights, health and safety of trans people. 
The GOP was also very vocal in their opposition to the Equality Act. Republican leadership also supports non-church affiliated secular public businesses' and healthcare providers' "right" to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people under the 1st Amendment.
So Meghan McCain's "Happy Pride Month!" tweet fell flat.

The irony the lip-service gets her no support from the left yet earns her backlash from the right is something that has happened to McCain before.
When she tweeted "Stop Asian Hate"—despite stating former President Trump referring to the pandemic as the "China Virus" and "Kung Flu" was not a problem—she got a similar reaction.

	Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was swiftly fact-checked after he claimed in a post on X that he'd ended the "woke" Women, Peace & Security (WPS) program because it was an initiative created by the Biden administration.

	For the political right, "wokeness" or "wokeism" generally refers to a left-leaning perspective that acknowledges the widespread existence of racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination in American society.

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.
In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
