Meghan McCain Recalls Fight With Tucker Carlson & Blocking His Number After Her Dad’s Death

Political commentator Meghan McCain has opened up about a heated situation with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson following the death of her father, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), in 2018.

On a new episode of her Meghan McCain Has Entered The Chat podcast, McCain accused Carlson of getting angry with her for criticizing political consultant Roger Stone after he tweeted that her father would “burn in hell for all eternity” in 2017.

McCain then responded to Stone via Twitter, now X.

“I tweeted something like, ‘Burn in hell’ or ‘Go to hell, Roger Stone,’ and I felt good about it, and I stand by that tweet,” McCain explained.

Shortly after, McCain was at a party in London and received a text from Carlson, which she paraphrased during the podcast episode.

“[He said], ‘What you said about Roger Stone is so gross and so disgusting, he’s a good man,’ or something like that,” she said. “How can you say that after what he said about my dad? I sent the text, blocked Tucker Carlson, deleted it, and went back to drinking, and that was my last interaction with him. I remember being like, ‘Who would say that to someone who just lost their dad to cancer?'”

Carlson has not responded to these allegations.

Carlson was fired from Fox News after the company discovered racist texts sent by the former prime-time anchor. He then started a “program” on X in June and the network threatened to sue him for violating his contract.
