There’s no love lost between Meghan McCain and Seth Meyers.
The former “The View” co-host, 38, had some choice words for Meyers on the second episode of her new podcast, “Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat.”
“Speaking of late-night stuff, I went on ‘Seth Meyers‘ and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, truly,” McCain told her guest, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, during a conversation about the media, which dropped on Thursday.
She was referring to the infamous interview she did during a 2019 appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”
During that interview, things got heated when Meyers brought up Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whom McCain had criticized for making comments about Israel that many called antisemitic.
“It was a horrific experience,” McCain told Cruz, “and he can go to hell forever.”
At the time, Meyers asked McCain if she thinks people need to “be more careful” while talking about Omar. He implied that he disagreed with McCain slamming Omar’s views “after she apologized for it” already.
“I stand by every single thing I’ve said, and if that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it,” McCain said. She then grew irritated after Meyers asked her if there was a way to talk about “differences in Israeli policy” without being called antisemitic.
“You do keep bringing up the two tweets that she’s apologized for, and I think that’s a little unfair to her,” Meyers said.
“Are you her publicist?” McCain said in response. “Are you her press person?”
Following that interview, McCain’s husband, writer Ben Domenech, 41 — with whom she shares two daughters, Liberty and Clover — slammed Meyers on social media in a tweetstorm.
He deemed the “Saturday Night Live” alumnus to be an “untalented piece of s–t who only has his job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls.”
“Seth is an awful person who is known within the industry for how terrible he is,” Domenech continued. “He is a monumental a–hole who is utterly unfunny. He deserves the mockery he receives from all the people who laugh at him.”
Domenech, co-founder and publisher of conservative online magazine The Federalist, later deleted the tweets and apologized for “rage tweeting.”
“I love my wife. I apologize for rage tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her,” he wrote. “I don’t like him, I think he’s a hack, but I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry to anyone I offended.”
Domenech eventually apologized for his comments about Meyers, following the 2019 interview. “I apologize for rage-tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her,” he said. “I don’t like him, I think he’s a hack, but I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry to anyone I offended.”
The Post reached out to representatives for Meyers for comment.
