“I can’t stay up this late, we all have lives and kids. God speed to our 81 year old President getting through the speech at this hour,” the ex-“View” star said.
Months after admittedly sacrificing a few hours of suffering through Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, former View cohost and conservative political commentator Meghan McCain has again taken public her battle with sleepytime as she attempted to soldier through the broadcast before President Joe Biden spoke Monday evening at the Democratic National Convention.
“I’m tapping out – I can’t stay up this late, we all have lives and kids. God speed to our 81 year old President getting through the speech at this hour,” McCain, 39, shared on X at exactly 11:00 p.m., prior to Biden’s appearance on stage at the DNC in Chicago. Biden’s appearance came weeks after he announced that he would not seek re-election in the 2024 presidential race, after repeated calls (including from McCain’s prior View colleagues) for him to bow out over concerns about his age.
McCain continued: “Whatever producers did this to him and let it go over this long at this hour is an a–hole and it is disrespectful to Biden.”

Approximately 13 minutes prior, at 10:47 p.m., the Meghan McCain War Room sounded an alarm when the controversial figure realized that Biden had yet to appear on the first night of the convention.
“Are they seriously going to put President Biden on at midnight?!?” the daughter of the late Senator John McCain asked, though one user responded to remind her about time zones. “It’s only 9 30 in Chicago didn’t you say you were going to Bed,” the user replied.
Earlier, McCain complained about DNC timing cutting into her night with her children.
I’m tapping out – I can’t stay up this late, we all have lives and kids. God speed to our 81 year old President getting through the speech at this hour.
Whatever producers did this to him and let it go over this long at this hour is an asshole and it is disrespectful to Biden.

“This convention is SO LATE. You guys I’m old and I have toddlers! Who wants to stay up this late?!” McCain wrote.
By 9:07 p.m., McCain had already grown tired of the convention, as she slammed the roster of speakers who’d already spoken during the telecast.
“How did any of these people get elected to anything?!? There is no charisma at all with any of these speakers,” said McCain.
In a moment of cheery clarity, McCain praised Vice President Kamala Harris (whom she called “classy and pretty,” months after saying Harris is proof that “a woman can’t be Vice President) and, apparently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — both of whom also appeared at Monday night’s event.

“Very very classy and moving speech from Hilary tonight,” McCain shared on X, though she notably left out the extra “l” in Clinton’s first name, leaving it ambiguous as if she was still tuned into the DNC or if her boredom tipped her interest over to Disney+ to stream noted one-l icon Hilary Duff’s Lizzie McGuire.
If she chooses to tune in to night two of the DNC, McCain is in for quite a thrill, as it was revealed earlier this week that her former View cohost Ana Navarro — a registered Republican — will host the evening’s proceedings.
