Meghan McCainis reconsidering the power of her own words in the wake of the attempted bomb attacks against former Secretary of StateHillary Clinton, former PresidentBarack Obamaand other prominent Democrats.
“I really try every day, I really try to come into work thinking about what rhetoric I’m going to put out in the world and what my father would’ve done if he was still here,” McCain began. “Last year on this show I said, ‘I hate Hillary Clinton’ and I called her Crooked Hillary, and it is one of the things I regret doing.”

She continued, “This is not saying I agree with her. I have many vast differences of opinion on philosophy and ideology, and I didn’t think she was a great candidate. But ‘hate’ is not a word that should be coming out of my mouth on television about someone of a different political persuasion.”
She then said that she intends “to hold myself to the same standard that I would like to hold the president” — even though she said she “gave up” on his ability to maintain this standard “a long time ago.”
“I can’t give into hate,” she said. “It’s too great a burden to bear. I have to stick with love.”
Days earlier, an explosive device was found in the mailbox of liberal philanthropist George Soros.
And on Thursday, the FBI confirmed on Twitter that two suspicious packages addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden and “similar in appearance” to the others had been intercepted at mail facilities in Delaware.One was found at a postal center in New Castle, the Associated Press reported, and the other at a facility in Wilmington.
California Rep. Maxine Waters and actor Robert De Niro were also sent packages on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, which brings the total to at least 10.
“If you have info that could assist the #FBI’s investigation of suspicious packages, call 1-800-CALLFBI (225-5324) or use tips.fbi.gov,” the FBI tweeted on Thursday, adding a photo of one of the packages. “If you observe suspicious activity that requires an immediate response, call 911 or contact local law enforcement immediately.”
