Meghan McCain slammed President Joe Biden on Thursday, calling him “Jimmy Carter on acid” and stating she’s “furious” over the situation in Afghanistan.

McCain tweeted, “No press briefings from the Biden White House from the President or his staff. They’re all on vacation. He is like Jimmy Carter on acid and he and his team will be remembered in history worse than him. Also anyone in the press want to jump in on criticism of him in hiding?”

Since the departure of US forces, the Republican commentator and daughter of the late Sen. John McCain said on Instagram that she has been “been physically ill” and filled with “pure rage and anger”

“I have been physically ill, more depressed than I have been since the beginning stages of the pandemic and filled nothing short of pure rage and anger since the calamity of a ‘pull out’ which will be seen as one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes of my lifetime,” McCain wrote on Thursday on Instagram.

“I am furious our President was so incompetent not to see what every expert on the planet could have seen coming. I am furious for my friends and family who have been fighting in these wars since I was 16 (many who have lost limbs, had their life terrorized by PTSD from their experiences in war and deployments, or worse). I am furious seeing our allies and innocent Afghan citizens who trusted us are being left to be slaughtered or so desperate to escape the pure evil the Taliban will bring in that they are falling out of f—ing planes,” McCain continued. “This is not who America is, this is not the values this country was founded in. Our veterans deserve better, the innocent Afghan people and our allies and translators who have stood by us for the past 20 years deserve better.”

McCain, whose father ran unsuccessfully for president, served in the military, and served on the Senate Armed Services Committee, claimed in her tirade that Biden’s decision has caused America “embarrassment” and “shame” that “will take generations to undo.”

“Not to mention our standing in the world and the cruel reality that the likelihood of another significant domestic terror attack has now risen to the highest levels since 9/11 and will usher in Isis 3.0.”

McCain said, “everyone I know is struggling,” but she wanted to encourage her followers to reach out to soldiers and their families since.

“May God have mercy for what we have done to these people abandoning them. Biden is unfit to lead,” McCain wrote, adding, “There should be an emergency congressional hearing before more innocent lives are lost. My heart is broken, this tragedy will absolutely haunt our country.”

She added, “Also – every single Afghan refugee fleeing must be granted a safe haven in America!”

McCain, a conservative pundit who quit her “The View” co-hosting gig earlier this month, slammed Biden’s plan to pull troops out of Afghanistan last week.

“Even if you thought leaving Afghanistan was the right decision -this is a reckless, dangerous, blundering, and embarrassing withdrawal,” she previously wrote.

It was a remarkable criticism of Biden from a well-known media figure with links to the current president. In last year’s campaign against former President Donald Trump, Meghan McCain endorsed then-candidate Joe Biden. Sen. John McCain, her late father, was a longtime friend of Biden’s, and her mother, Cindy, served on the Biden transition team’s advisory board. In June, Biden nominated Cindy McCain to be the United States’ representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture.

McCain also targeted Democrats in tweets last week, citing her father.

“Democrats like to wax poetic a lot about what my dad would have done and said (most of the time reinventing some weird fantasy of who he was),” McCain tweeted. “Let me tell you one god damn thing – he would be raging in public and to President Biden about this withdrawal in Afghanistan. Raging.”

“This is an absolutely shameful moment for our country. Shame on this administration. God be with our allies and the women and children in Afghanistan,” she added.

The recent pullout from Afghanistan was the penultimate stage of a long-planned departure.

McCain has previously expressed reservations about the US troop departure from Afghanistan, stating on “The View” in April that she was “very skeptical of what is going to happen if we withdraw.”
