Things got heated once again on The View when the panelists revisited the controversial topic of socialist policies.

Co-host Meghan McCain was flummoxed over demands for universal healthcare and slammed Canada in the process of making her argument.


Last week, McCain lashed out at Joy Behar, who quoted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Democratic-Socialist platforms, like fully-funded public schools and infrastructure overhaul.

"This makes my head explode," McCain exclaimed on the show.


On Thursday's show, McCain, an heiress to a multimillion dollar fortune, seethed over advocates for universal healthcare policy, asking how people would even begin to pay for it.

She also commented on her previous backlash.

I know discussing socialism on the show triggers everyone in the world that I'm against it. I get people are for it. I'm 100 percent against it.
Bernie Sanders says Medicare for all would cost $32.6 trillion over the next 10 years. I believe at a certain point, explain how we're going to pay for it. If everyone is for it, you have to pay the 70 percent or 80 percent taxes they're proposing."

Behar asked:

Do you believe healthcare is a privilege of some sort or is it a guarantee?

Instead of giving a direct answer, McCain criticized Canada's healthcare.

I believe there's a reason that people in Canada come to this country to get better healthcare.

"We're having a debate right now," McCain said after the audience applauded over Sunny Hostin declared that healthcare was a human right, attempting to backtrack her position.

I think a problem with this is, don't paint me out to be — it's very complicated on this show. I'm just trying to talk about the realities of what it's going to cost.
It's not that my heart doesn't open. I just admitted on national television that my perspective changed after my father got sick.
Don't say I believe in all these things. It's making me seem non-compassionate. I'm not.


Not only did her assertion about Canadians crossing the U.S. border for "better" healthcare spark additional backlash below the 49th parallel, Canadians were also happy to point out the fallacy of McCain's statement.










Looks like the former Fox News contributor got a crash course in some Canadian facts, eh?

Woman Says What We're All Thinking About Trump Deploying ICE To Airports In Blistering Interview

A woman interviewed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has gone viral for her response to reporters who asked for her thoughts about President Donald Trump's announcement that he would deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.

Stephen Miller Caught On Camera Letting Out Heavy Sigh As Trump Tries To Justify Iran War

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was caught on camera letting out a heavy sigh as President Donald Trump spoke at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee about his ever-changing justifications for going to war with Iran.

A WSMV 4 Nashville broadcast showed Miller briefly turning his head and letting out a sigh as Trump described Iran’s missile capabilities as “growing so fast” that the U.S. needed to act before it became “virtually impossible to stop them.” Miller then composed himself and faced forward again toward the president, who was seated at center stage.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's administration is coming under fire again over White nationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller's immigration guidance.

Campaigning on a promise to deport violent criminals, the Trump administration has instead become the violent (often masked) aggressors that Americans fear. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees have repeatedly targeted individuals without warrants or just cause based solely on racial profiling, denied people's constitutional rights, and killed people in their detention centers and on the streets with impunity.
