Meghan McCain's Diss On Greta Thunberg's Hair Came Back To Bite Her For One Big Reason

The internet is a great place for petty dislikes and small insults to get the attention of large audiences. There's no hiding from the bad remarks and mean comments that you post on social media, especially when you have a huge following. That is exactly what happened between Meghan McCain and Greta Thunberg. A video was shared on social media of Thunberg, sporting a new haircut, boarding a boat to sail to Palestine. McCain, a political commentor and no stranger to bad blood with other celebrities, took to X to announce her distaste for Thunberg's hair short bob and bangs. The political face shared to her X in a now deleted tweet: "I refuse to take anyone talking about politics seriously with uneven bangs and this s***** Lord Farquaad hair." 

Thunberg has been trolled before, but nevertheless the tweet still generated backlash from many. Fans of Thunberg were quick to swarm the comment section, hitting back at McCain's remark with fury — pointing out that McCain has no room to talk given her hairstyle choices over the past few years.

Meghan McCain's tweet brought to light a collection of posts tearing apart her terrible hairstyles. Fans didn't have to look long and hard for these images; rather, just pop over to McCain's YouTube channel to find clips of some ... questionable hair choices. It seems McCain, despite her feigned authority on good hair, knows a great deal about outdated styles and cringy 'dos.

The backlash McCain received led to the deletion of her tweet, though criticism over her hairstyles is nothing new to McCain. The commentator was receiving lots of hate over her hairdos back in 2021. She spoke out against fans who criticize her, sharing a post to X back in February 2021, "People have a lot to say about me in general, but in regard to my hair and makeup ... I'm just having fun switching up, playing around and experimenting." 

But this was not the only time McCain responded to insults aimed at her coif. Also in 2021, when McCain worked as a host on "The View," she shared an image of her hairstyle to social media. The post caused a viewer to tweet in speculation about McCain's suddenly long locks. After seeing the tweet, McCain decided to shot back on X, "Can a b**** experiment."
