Meghan McCain has a lot to say about Meghan Markle's latest trailer
John McCain's eldest daughter went on a rampage Xthe social media platform formerly known as Twitter and insulting Markle.
“I was originally a Meghan Markle supporter, I thought she was cool, stylish and refreshing,” McCain began. “Like the rest of the world, my opinion changed when she disrespected the royal family. Now that she wants to be American again and not the British aristocracy, it seems Americans want the real, raw and uncensored.”
