Meghan McCain Claims Neighborhood Is 'War Zone' And Gets Owned By Neighbor
Meghan McCain called her Manhattan neighbourhood “eviscerated” and a “war zone” on Tuesday ― and ended up getting owned by her neighbour in the process.
It happened after the “View” co-host posted a tweet highly critical of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for how they’ve responded to ongoing protests against police brutality.
My neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated and looks like a war zone. DeBlasio and Cuomo are an utter disgrace. This is not America. Our leaders have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities burn to the ground and be destroyed. I never could have fathomed this

But McCain got pushback for the tweet from her self-identified neighbour Kristin Bartlett, a writer for the TBS series “Full Frontal.”
“We live in the same building, and I just walked outside. It’s fine,” said Bartlett.
Meghan, we live in the same building, and I just walked outside. It’s fine. https://t.co/ZvwNrjL6P7

Amid the ongoing protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd, there has been property damage and stealing in some parts of New York (and other cities). McCain did not name her neighbourhood.
Bartlett’s quick response inspired the type of fervor on Twitter that hasn’t been seen since, well, various “Glee” cast members called out Lea Michele for making the production of that show “a living hell.” (For those keeping score, that was Monday night.)
Many people appreciated Bartlett for calling out McCain’s hyperbolic tweet.
Thank you for shutting down her lies. To read McCain's tweet, it sounds like she's describing London after the blitz. Manhattan is standing and very much not on fire. I've had it with these GOP apologists. #GOP#GOPComplicit
