Two Perspectives on the Same Situation
When it comes to the protests sweeping across the nation following the tragic death of George Floyd, opinions are as varied as the people expressing them. Take, for instance, the contrasting views of Meghan McCain and Kristen Bartlett. Meghan, the outspoken co-host of "The View," recently described her Manhattan neighborhood as resembling a "war zone" due to the unrest. On the flip side, Kristen Bartlett, co-head writer for "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," seems to take a more measured approach, casually dismissing the chaos as "fine." Let's dive into what these ladies had to say and why their perspectives matter.
Meghan McCain Sounds the Alarm
Meghan McCain, never one to shy away from controversy, took to Twitter on June 2, 2020, to voice her frustrations. The 35-year-old called out New York City's Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo for what she perceives as their mishandling of the protests. "My neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated and looks like a war zone," she tweeted. "DeBlasio and Cuomo are an utter disgrace. This is not America." Meghan went on to express her deep disappointment with the leadership, stating, "Our leaders have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities burn to the ground and be destroyed. I never could have fathomed this." Her words paint a picture of a city in crisis, with its leaders failing to provide the guidance and support needed during turbulent times.

Kristen Bartlett Offers a Calmer Perspective
Not everyone shares Meghan's alarmist view. Kristen Bartlett, who happens to live in the same building as Meghan, took to Twitter to offer a different perspective. "Meghan, we live in the same building, and I just walked outside. It's fine," Kristen replied. Her response suggests that perhaps the situation isn't as dire as Meghan makes it out to be. Kristen's calm demeanor and willingness to engage in a respectful dialogue highlight the importance of listening to multiple voices during times of unrest.
Meghan McCain's Passion for Justice
It's worth noting that Meghan McCain has been a vocal advocate for justice in the wake of George Floyd's death. On May 29, she urged her followers to "put pressure on district attorney Mike Freeman to charge and arrest" the officers involved in Floyd's death. "My heart is completely broken. Justice for George Floyd," she captioned an Instagram post. Later that day, Meghan expressed her frustration with how the medical examiner's office was handling the case. After journalist Justin Miller tweeted that "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation" were found in Floyd's death, Meghan replied, urging Floyd's family to demand an independent autopsy. "I don't know what kind of s–t is attempting to be pulled here but we all know what we saw happen to George on video. There is a deep, festering rot of corruption, and Americans will NOT stand for this," she wrote passionately. Meghan's words reflect her deep commitment to seeking justice and holding those in power accountable.
Kristen Bartlett's Contributions to the Movement
While Kristen Bartlett may not share Meghan's alarmist perspective, she has been actively supporting the Black Lives Matter movement in her own way. On Instagram, the former "Saturday Night Live" writer shared screenshots of her donations to organizations supporting the cause. She donated $213.80 to the Minnesota Freedom Fund and $206 to Reclaim the Block. These actions demonstrate her commitment to supporting systemic change and highlighting the importance of financial contributions to grassroots organizations fighting for justice and equality.
