<p>Asked what she thought of English broadcaster Piers Morgan <a href="//www.salon.com/2021/03/09/piers-morgan-quits-good-morning-britain-meghan-markle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">storming off his show</a> when questioned over his journalistic treatment of the royal family, McCain –– with her knack for conservative solipsism –– dove headfirst into a highly personalized spiel about what it means to be an American and a <em>patriot </em>to boot.</p><p><br/></p><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="095408ffef54911634bc2e4724c214ee" id="a685e"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1369326070458093576"><div style="margin:1em 0">PIERS MORGAN STORMS OFF MEGHAN MARKLE DISCUSSION: Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey ai… //t.co/a4SIgk3r5p</div> — The View (@The View)<a href="//twitter.com/TheView/statuses/1369326070458093576">1615307750.0</a></blockquote></div><p><br/></p><p>"My ancestors fought in the American Revolution," she explained. "I named my daughter 'Liberty.' I enjoy going to Mount Vernon to visit the home place of our Founding Fathers."</p><p>It must be remembered that Mount Vernon was, in fact, a <a href="//www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/slave-quarters/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>slave plantation</u></a>. At the time of George Washington's death in 1799, the plantation still held 317 slaves, 90 percent of whom were African-Americans. </p><p>McCain, noting conversations she'd had with friends, pointed to a potential generational difference in how the British feel about the monarchy. "There's a feeling among some people in the U.K.," she said, "that they have sort of abandoned Queen and country. And they're doing it a time when Prince Phillip is ninety-nine years old and literally possibly on his deathbed after getting open heart surgery."</p><p>McCain capped her gloss on the ills of the British monarchy with one of her more eccentric word salads to date, this one infused with a touch of patriotism, history, and feminism combined. </p><p>"We have two American women — Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey — who are single-handedly finishing what George Washington and our revolutionary counterparts did. I'm all for it."</p><p><a href="//uproxx.com/viral/whoopi-shuts-down-meghan-cain-the-view-warnock-interview/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The whole thing left Goldberg</a> so stunned that her facial reaction brought a divided internet together in laughter:</p><p><br/></p>
