The death toll in the collapse of the 12-story tower in Surfside Florida now stands at 11 with 151 people missing reports the Miami Herald

Megan McCain Abortion is murder Biden is wrong

While discussinga vote by the US Conference of Catholic Bishopsto deny Communion to pro-abortion Catholic politicians like President Joe Biden ABCs The View co-host Megan McCain argued the president was walking a very fine line between his politics and his personal faith In fact she criticized Bidens support for federal funding for abortion claiming hes doing grave spiritual harm to himself by violating the Roman Catholic Churchs teachings reports TheBlazecom

McCAIN If you are a devout Catholic as President Biden claims to be abortion is a cardinal sin that can do deep spiritual harm to you

President Biden had been supportive of the Hyde Amendment up until 2019 when he decided to run for president The Hyde Amendment means that the government wouldnt provide federal funding for abortion He has shown in this upcoming budget that he is for it I think that has been the threshold for me This is a deep paradigm shift for how I view President Biden because he is for the federal funding of abortion

I know the women on the show disagree with me but as far as Im concerned abortion is murder And that means the government funding of killing of the unborn

Megan asserted that God would hold Biden accountable

McCAIN We have to as pro-lifers fight for the rights of the unborn and that is a doctrine thats as old as the Catholic church itself So Bidens going to have to ultimately talk to his creator when the time comes as we all do and reconcile his politics with his personal faith I believe that hes doing grave spiritual harm to himself and harm to this country

Biden COVID advisor vs talk show host Glenn Beck

Appearing on CBS This Morning last week with Tony Dokoupil Andy Slavitt a former senior COVID adviser for the Biden administration first blamed the Trump administration then all Americans in general for not sacrificing enough

DOKOUPIL How much of this pandemic was preventable And how

SLAVITT If were honest there were two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life One were just plainly political leadership mistakes We denied the virus for too long under the Trump White House

But I also think we all need to look at one another and ask ourselves What do we need to do better next time And in many respects being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another to get through this and to save more lives is going to be essential And thats something that I think we could all have done a little bit better on

Conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck was fit to be tied

BECK Right We could have sacrificed a little bit more The sacrifice of 40 of all businesses now being closed permanently out of business Only 40 But I dont know if that sacrifice was good Or the fact that teen suicide now is up at 31 I think a few more of us could have sacrificed our children Throw it up on the altar of Anthony Fauci I think we could have done it right Who do you think you are telling us that we should sacrifice more Oh my gosh

Beck also rejected the notion that President Trump didnt move quickly enough in response to COVID

BECK Everybody on the Left the media everything You know Donald Trump was a little slow Really Was he Because when he shut down Europe when he shut down travel from China you all bellyached and said What a racist Dont start with me Some of us have memories
