Meghan McCain Defends Herself on the View

As I’m sure many of you know, Meghan McCain has recently been criticized for her weight, specifically by Laura Ingraham. How sad is it that Meghan’s weight is attacked when she has so much to offer? And what’s worse is that it was by another woman. I was glad to see that Meghan went on The View to defend herself and speak out about these ridiculous attacks.

Meghan also wrote about this on The Daily Beast.

Meghan mentions that this kind of situation sets an awful example for young girls, and she’s absolutely right! This shows young girls that no matter how smart or successful they are, their weight will always be the defining factor. Unfortunately this leads to mixed up priorities for too many young girls.
