Trump's niece takes swipe at absent Meghan McCain during The View appearance

Mary Trump, former President Donald Trump's niece, appeared on The View on Monday to promote her new book The Reckoning...and take a few jabs at "conspiculously absent" co-host Megan McCain while she's at it, The Daily Beast reports.

After denouncing her uncle and his GOP acolytes for perpetuating lies surrounding Jan. 6, as well as blaming the former's shoddy pandemic management for "the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans," Mary Trump turned her attention toward McCain, who was present during the first half of the broadcast, but not during either of the segments in which Trump was interviewed, per The Daily Beast and Mediaite.
