Meghan McCain’s Twitter Photo Controversy
Republican firebrand Meghan McCain’s skimpy pajamas have her conservative followers all atwitter, forcing the daughter of failed 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain to apologize for posting a racy photo of her décolletage.
The trouble started around 8 p.m. Wednesday when The Daily Beast columnist uploaded a photo of herself in a low-cut tank-top reading a biography of Andy Warhol.
“[My] ’spontaneous’ night in is my Andy Warhol biography and takeout. … I’m getting old,” she writes.
Her relaxing evening turned into a wild night when some of her over 60,000 followers started to taunt the political scion.
Initially, McCain tried to straight-talk her way out:
“So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit, I am a slut,” she Twittered.
Then she threatened to abandon her Twitter account altogether. “[Why] I have been considering deleting my twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment.”
