Summary
Bad Republican by Meghan McCain
In her intimate, first audio memoir, Meghan McCain finds herself at a transitional moment: With the passing of her war-hero father and the birth of her daughter Liberty, Meghan realizes she’s becoming a different woman. Known as a Republican rebel and a departing cohost of The View, new mom Meghan McCain tells her story - in her own words. She invites listeners inside the unwavering heart and ferocious mind of a young conservative woman who refuses to back down.
With the aptly titled Bad Republican, McCain expresses how it is to feel like you no longer fit in with your political party. She tells of growing up the daughter of an American icon who shaped her life and details the heartbreaking final moments spent by his side. She recalls her (mis)adventures on the New York dating scene and brings us up to speed on meeting her now-husband. We hear her views on cancel culture and internet trolls as well as life backstage as the sole Republican at America’s most-watched daytime talk show - and why she decided to leave. Revealingly, she relays the awkward phone call she received from Donald and Melania and where she thinks the Republican Party and the country go from here. And with surprising candor, she divulges why a miscarriage and the birth of her daughter have left her so fired up about women’s rights - even if that puts her at odds with her party.
Unsparingly honest, deeply relatable, and highly entertaining, Bad Republican is as personal as a story gets. It’s a memoir imbued with an unmistakable maverick spirit.

Doesn't own any of her behaviour
I like Meghan although I have many opposing views I felt some common ground especially on death and miscarriage, which I'm thankful for and it's a timely reminder that we all experience loss and grief when you strip away politics and wealth. Although I am disappointed that she fails to identify her own behaviour in many of her examples and forgets that we as listeners were also watching too. I was disappointed for example that on the view she said she was honoured to be saturised by SNL, and did a whole bit about the honour but claims she was humiliated by it in her book. she claims she was cut off by Whoopi, but on the view she forgets all the other ladies would have less than a minute to make their argument on a topic but Megan would speak often over 3 minutes and have to be cut off, often leaving the audience none the wiser of how Whoopi felt about the topic because she didn't have any time left. I would like a follow up book in 10 years when hopefully she can recognise her own flaws as easily as she points the flaws of others out.

hmmmm
I enjoyed the view and found her presence important, I write this as an independent. The problem with Meghan wasn't her view but how she communicated her views. She was very sensitive and aggressive. She could dish it but never take it. This book is well written but incomplete. Meghan never talks about her own flaws, I remember when Joy said 'I don't miss you' But do you remember when she told Joy 'It was her job to listen to her' Or when George Bush Sr died and she told Joy not to talk??? Meghan and Joy clashed but she was 50% of the problem and the fact she doesn't take accountability for how she could often be rude and emotional makes this book a 2-3 star book for substance.
