Meghan McCain took a moment Monday to celebrate the weekend raid that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

McCain said during a segment of “The View” that Americans should all be united in celebrating the fact that al-Baghdadi was no longer in charge of the terrorist organization. (RELATED: ‘You Feckless Unpatriotic Cowards!’: Meghan McCain Unloads On White House For Abandoning Kurds)

Abby Huntsman responded to news of the raid by asking the others not to make this day about President Donald Trump.

“It’s a huge deal. It’s a big deal. I mean, this is the biggest death of a terror leader since Osama bin Laden,” she began. “When bad things get the blame, when good things happen, you deserve some credit. We spend every day on the show with a tit for tat and trying to find a hit on Trump, and say what a terrible president he is. I’m not going to do this today, because the men and women who were involved don’t deserve it. They don’t deserve that conversation. They deserve to be praised for that mission.”

McCain jumped in, saying that the real focus should be on this being a win for America in addition to long-awaited justice for al-Baghdadi’s former American prisoner Kayla Mueller.

“Can I talk? I’m sorry. I want to talk about Kayla Mueller who was a woman from Prescott, Arizona, who was a Doctors Without Borders volunteer who was taken by al-Baghdadi, tortured, kept in solitary confinement, raped over and over and over again, and had the opportunity to leave and didn’t, and saved other women,” McCain explained. “She’s a very big name nationally, and in Arizona in particular. I think today we honor her. We honor her family.”

“This guy, Baghdadi, was the worst of the worst of the worst kind of scum on the planet of Earth, and I hope he’s burning in hell with Osama bin Laden. It’s our life or the others,” McCain continued, recalling how she felt the day she learned that Osama bin Laden had been killed.

“I was on a plane, and the plane applauded, and I was so — I was crying and elated, and I remember wanting to go on the streets and there was a bunch of people. I was going from D.C. To New York, but there were people celebrating,” she said. “I wanted to celebrate yesterday, and there was not this feeling of celebration in the way that we should take these wins because it’s a win for America, and it’s a win for democracy, and it’s a win for freedom, and it’s a win for people who don’t believe in torture and raping young women who are just volunteering with Doctors Without Borders overseas and I think at this moment, all of our hearts should be with the Mueller family today.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
