Conservative commentator Meghan McCain piled on praise of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, angering many on the right.

The former View host, whos the daughter of the late GOP presidential nominee John McCain, expressed her rapture on social media over the party atmosphere around Kamala Harris formally accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

Maybe republicans just shouldnt have conventions just forfeit because I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU CAN COMPETE WITH THIS! McCain wrote on X , formerly Twitter.

McCain gushed over a percussion performance of The Pack at the convention.

Oh man, how cool is this drum line ?! she enthused.

She thanked Rep. Ruben Gallego , a Democratic candidate for senator in Arizona, after he honored her father .

Before the fourth nights session even began on Thursday, she was already dishing out accolades for Democrats A-list impact. She called the convention better than the last 15 years of MTV Awards .

Republicans cannot compete on the culture space with artists, musicians or celebrities on any level whatsoever, she wrote .

Of course McCain got pushback from conservatives, notably Fox News Media contributor Tomi Lahren, who called the DNC performances tone deaf and insulting for struggling Americans.

Another person on X questioned McCain for going out of her way to compliment the gathering. Im not that impressed to be honest. I actually cant believe you are, the commenter wrote.

Others called her a RINO (Republican in name only) and accused her of being a turncoat. Youre the Dems #1 Cheerleader, huh?! someone wrote with a vomiting emoji .

McCain did criticize Harris running mate , Tim Walz, this week and took shots at the conventions running time on Monday. But moments earlier praised classy Harris and Hillary Clinton .
