listen to meghan mccain today on "the view." take a look.inconsistent messaging and getting the facts he means nothing changes and we have to wait another few years until everybody gets it, there is already a lot of people not getting it. we are having a messaging problem to get people to take the vaccine. i'm over dr. fauci. i think we need to have more people giving opinions. i honestly, quite frankly, i think the biden administration to remove him and put somebody who does understand sentence. >> sean: i defended dr. fauci in this sense. he spent decades of his life trying to save other people's lives. you know what, to be fair come all the experts pretty much got everything wrong. but over the last year, we have been witnessing a lot of contradictions, a lot of incorrect predictions, incorrect meddling, more errors, back and wear a mask, don't wear a mask, schools open, don't open, time frames on the vaccine. when do we return to normality? dr. fauci has increasingly said mixed messages and become more a political force sadly instead of

meghan mccain blaming the media for reporting on the craziness coming out of her own party. >> the more that the mainstream media continues to come out and say that all republicans are birthers and crazy people and we believe in space lasers, then the more it makes traditional republicans -- and there are still a lot of them in the country -- go back into their corners. and this is becoming very tribal, and i would argue this is how we got trump in the first place. >> look, i don't know anybody who said all. i think that people are hearing that. that's selective hearing. meghan, that is selective hearing. that is not what people are saying. and you can't blame the media for that. that is something that the republican party must fix itself. the media is the media. marco rubio afraid to hold trump accountable because it will just anger the insurrectionists. >> i think the trial is stupid. i think it's counterproductive. we already have a flaming fire in this country, and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. >> okay. and those -- it's always somebody else

was common knowledge about the problems with john weaver and that, i will just point out what meghan mccainw days ago. i've been hesitant to comment but since my deceased father keeps getting invoked, i will say this, john weaver and steve schmidt were so despised by my dad, he made a point to ban them from his funeral. no mccain since 2008 would have -- if they were on fire. if you knew there were problems, why would you book them? again, anti-trump. this is exactly about how harvey weinstein and his rape and torture of women and destruction of women's lives was covered up by the media for decades, because again, money, power, liberal credit, maybe give you a little financial help if you needed it. it's the same problem and really appalling that it hasn't changed. >> harris: emily? >> emily: and talking about legal liability, to be clear, this group is not a campaign, as they have said they thought they were, it's a super pac and a super pac -- exactly. and they are held to thus a stricter set of standards, legally, financially and ethically but also subject to a higher amount of transpare

here's a tweet from meghan mccain. such awful and potentially illegal behavior would use their media associations with my father to gain opportunities. my dad was betrayed by you, hated you for it, and we all know it. so they obviously already had a reputation the, yet they were frequently on msnbc. it was an open secret by the end of the summer that john weaver was conducting all of this. what does this mean for the lincoln project? >> well, i want to say when i was doing my research, i didn't start my research over the summer. it was hard to find somebody who did not know about john weaver including many former mccain staffers. and one of which who now has a show on msnbc. i would love to know if she knew about a john weaver and why when she had members of the rincon project on there -- lincoln project even after my credible allegation, she did not ask him about it. just curious. pete: hosts at msnbc and elsewhere knew about this behavior for years, still welcomed the lincoln project to talk about what they were doing

resigned last week, prompting meghan mccain, who i should point out is a friend, "i have been very hesitantey were so despised by my dad he made it a point you banned them from his funeral. since 2008, now mccain would have spit on them if they were on fire." no love lost there. >> there's a lot of bad blood. schmidt denied knowing about the allegations against weaver and when he, when he was 13, was touched inappropriately. and then jennifer, who said she was lied to and demeaned by another founder, allegations by some of weaver's alleged victims to the group. and then the lincoln project posted screenshots of private twitter messages to embarrass her, which is not only outrageous, but may be against the law. >> john: of former deputy press secretary, he was suspended for a week without pay or misogynistic and abusive comments that he made to politico reporter who was investigating a story about him. we thought he would have been fired right out of the box, given what joe biden i thought about this. >> i don't know how they got by with this fiasco with a one-week suspension because what he

meghan mccain got in on this and tweeted that john weaver and steve schmidt were so despised by my daded them from his funeral. since 2008 no mccain would have spit on them if they were on fire. there is a lot happening here. when 60 minutes did that profile, joe, a lot of this stuff had been out there for a while. there was internal communication as we've now seen and probably see a lot more of it. >> yeah. that 60 minutes, right, their bread and butter. instead of putting on the steve schmidts and rick wilson's of the world and talking about how great the group is investigate what was going on. thankfully axios, "new york times," we have a bunch of reports now of people in this business doing just that. so look, it looks like this group is now dead. steve schmidt is gone and the interviews have dried up and tweets have stopped. thankfully if you like good, solid debate and solid discourse, this is not the group for you. i think they only made this country that much more divisive only to line their own pockets >> bill: 0 for 7 trying to help democrats win back the senate. >> donald tr
