Meghan McCain’s husband, the founder and the publisher of The Federalist, a right-wing site, unleashed an appalling tweet following the CNN town hall Wednesday in which the audience was filled with survivors of mass shootings, including the recent massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch came face-to-face with survivors and grieving family members. But, to McCain’s husband, Ben Domenech, the survivors are just a “bunch of idiots.”

That didn’t go down well on Twitter.
This “Room full of Idiots” as called by Meghan McCain’s husband, Ben Domenech, are American Citizens. Senator Marco Rubio is a public servant, and as such should meet with them. If he is uncomfortable, then he is not qualified for that job.

Since he brought up the word ‘idiots,’ watch Marco Rubio squirm:

Domenech was outed in 2006 for plagiarizing from other publications.
