ABC Host Slammed For 'Psychotic' Questioning

Meghan McCain slammed ex-ABC colleague Martha Raddatz on Sunday over an interview with Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance. 

Raddatz, 71, downplayed apartment takeovers by Venezuelan migrant gang members in Aurora, Colo., telling Vance, 40, that the “incidents” involving the ruthless Tren de Aragua crime syndicate were “limited to a handful.” 

The NY Post reports McCain, 39, was left in disbelief over the line of questioning by the “This Week” host. 

“It’s really insane Martha and her producers didn’t see how awful her line of questioning sounds to a normal person,” she wrote on X. “I’m sure she would have different feelings if she lived next to an apartment complex filled w/ Venezuelan gangs.” 

McCain, a former co-host on ABC’s “The View,” added that Raddatz sounded “psychotic” during her interview with the Ohio senator. 

“She sounds psychotic. Like, completely psychotic,” McCain tweeted. 

JD Vance absolutely dismantled Martha Raddatz on @ThisWeekABC

These people are a joke and should never be taken seriously.

During the exchange, Vance – seemingly taken aback – told Raddatz: “Martha, do you hear yourself?” 

“Only ‘a handful of apartment complexes’ in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border?” he continued. 

“I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting, because you seem to be more focused [on] nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs,” Vance added

McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), has mocked former President Donald Trump in the past, but she has recently fumed over the way Vice President Kamala Harris has been invoking her father’s memory on the campaign trail.
