While discussing the comedian’s recentInstagram post in which he admitted to feeling bullied onlinefollowing his split fromAriana GrandeonThe View, McCain said she could relate.
“I do think it’s different when you’re someone likePete Davidsonor someone like us, it’s not just social media,” McCain said on Thursday’s episode. “Google me right now, there are articles written about me the past few days, what a huge bitch I am, how awful I am, the negativity and nastiness I’ve brought to the show. It’s real, it’s not just social media, it’s the media, as well.”
“I know what it feels like to be hated in the same wayPete Davidsondoes,” she continued. “I’m not asking for sympathy, but I felt extreme compassion for his post.”

“Can we focus on the president, please?” she said. “I don’t want to talk about Trump when we’re in the moment of honoring a great president who passed. I’m not interested in your one-issue voter when our president just passed.”
