Publisher's Summary

Bad Republican by Meghan McCain 

In her intimate, first audio memoir, Meghan McCain finds herself at a transitional moment: With the passing of her war-hero father and the birth of her daughter Liberty, Meghan realizes she’s becoming a different woman. Known as a Republican rebel and a departing cohost of The View, new mom Meghan McCain tells her story - in her own words. She invites listeners inside the unwavering heart and ferocious mind of a young conservative woman who refuses to back down.   

With the aptly titled Bad Republican, McCain expresses how it is to feel like you no longer fit in with your political party. She tells of growing up the daughter of an American icon who shaped her life and details the heartbreaking final moments spent by his side. She recalls her (mis)adventures on the New York dating scene and brings us up to speed on meeting her now-husband. We hear her views on cancel culture and internet trolls as well as life backstage as the sole Republican at America’s most-watched daytime talk show - and why she decided to leave. Revealingly, she relays the awkward phone call she received from Donald and Melania and where she thinks the Republican Party and the country go from here. And with surprising candor, she divulges why a miscarriage and the birth of her daughter have left her so fired up about women’s rights - even if that puts her at odds with her party.   

Unsparingly honest, deeply relatable, and highly entertaining, Bad Republican is as personal as a story gets. It’s a memoir imbued with an unmistakable maverick spirit.

Living in a polar post trump era!

Finally, the truth about becoming a mother. Discussion on death and how western culture should address death and loss better. A peek into personal family stories of her Father Senator John Mccain and her overall family. She shares, her experience of working on 'The View' and sheds light on the toxic environment that past co-host Rosie O'Donnell (a Democrat ) was referring to.

Meghan shares her thoughts on the Republican party as it stands today, post-Trump era. Living in a 'woke', 'cancel culture' world, the disenfranchised that voted for Trump and their unheard voice and what she sees happening in the overall spectrum of Politics in the future.

I was hesitant to listen because I was so immersed in the popular public persona of Meghan's. Which after listening to this audio, couldn't be farther from the truth. I would cringe at the youtube mash-up of how often she would say "my father" and other mash-ups of clips of her on The View and think 'wow, she's a bit extreme'.

After listening to the whole audio: I cried, I laughed at her wit, I was shocked at some of the stories and overall I was enlightened, I secretly hope she runs for Government and that she at least releases another audio/book.

Thank you Megahn.

Raw glimpse into motherhood

Really appreciated hearing of her experiences with pregnancy, motherhood, returning to work, and mum guilt. As well as stories from The View. Don’t agree with her politically but I think she tries her best to be true to herself and isn’t afraid to go against the grain for what’s right.
