Thursday afternoon, Michelle Malkin was asked during a chat at Politico’s The Arena by moderator Fred Barbash, “Who would you say is the most insightful liberal political figure or commentator out there right now? Who is a conservative political figure of commentator who you think needs to shut up?”
“Hmmm…interesting question,” Malkin replied. “On the right: Less Meghan McCain. On the left? Tommy Christopher is an honest lib.”
Apparently, folks began Tweeting Meghan McCain about the Malkin insult.
So, the daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate Tweeted back, “chill people, I don’t give a fuck about @michellemalkin.”
In March, Malkin wrote that the “trouble with Meghan McCain” was that - like her non-ideological father - she “inherited the notion that playing the ‘maaaaverick’ imparts her with moral authority and credibility as a fresh voice for the GOP.”
After getting f-bombed via Twitter, it’s doubtful that Malkin will raise her opinion any.
But some conservative followers of McCain on Twitter aren’t pleased with her choice of words.
“Now that is a disgusting thing to say….I just stopped following you..,” a user named sdelaurier Tweeted.
Quillspiller Tweets, “If you really didn’t give a f____ about Malkin, you wouldn’t have cussed.”
On the other hand, a few on the left, apparently, are Tweeting support.
“I’m a Democrat proudly (for social reasons), but if more Republicans were like you, it’d be hard for me to stay Dem,” a user named kmhollan Tweets, while a user named aeligature notes, “Well, @michellemalkin would have all Muslims thrown in internment camps. How can you take her seriously about anything?”
