Meghan McCain appeared to show her support of Meghan Markle following the former royal’s tell-all interview, saying she had no desire to defend the “monarchy.”
“My ancestors fought in the American revolution – I have no interest in defending the monarchy,” McCain tweeted Monday, along with a Revolutionary War painting captioned with, “Surprise B*tch” across the top. (RELATED: Meghan Markle Accuses Royals Of Racism, Says She Considered Killing Herself)

Joe Biden promised a new-found unity. And so we have it, in gratitude to the Founders for liberating us from monarchy.

The royal family always viewed Meghan Markle as an existential threat, when she wasn’t one, for reasons that were mostly racist. Ironically, they mistreated her so badly she became a threat. My latest for @NBCNewsTHINK: https://t.co/wzsvvU0Dby

I’m wondering if those in the British monarchy are playing that game in their heads: How it started… how it’s going… #MeghanandHarryonOprah

What is the British monarchy other than racism, persevering

Imagine being Prince Philip: fighting Nazis, helping preside over the UK during the Cold War and the economic struggles of the 1970s, and now watching your spoiled grandson basically call the institution to which you have silently devoted your life a vile repository of bigotry.

I’ve always been anti-monarchy! Always said Prince Charles was a dunce. Time to break up the KING/QUEEN oligarchy and disperse the stolen wealth to the poor. And please never mention that dumb actress who seduced the royal boy
