The mother-of-two recently said she felt “empowered” by Donald Trump’s election victory

Meghan’s health scare comes weeks after she said she felt “empowered” by Donald Trump’s election victory after years of being “abused” for being a “strong conservative woman.”

The blonde, the daughter of the late US Senator John McCain, went to Instagram in November to share a photo of a map showing an overwhelmingly red wave in the country.

The map circulated on many right-wing social media pages and was posted by both Elon Musk and George Santos – but it is unclear where exactly it came from.

Alongside the photo of the card, she wrote an emotional caption on Trump’s victory, suggesting that those on the “other side” should “take a moment to think” about why this could have happened.

“I cannot express how affirmed I feel about my politics, my values, and my record of publicly warning Democrats for over a decade that their elitism, socialism, and overall social insanity are alienating the country and at the same time incredibly dangerous and being anti-American. policy level,” Meghan wrote.

“My entire adult life I have suffered abuse directed at me simply because I was a proud, strong conservative woman who would not stand aside,” her message continued.

“I have been yelled at in restaurants, socially ostracized almost everywhere except conservative circles, exposed to a toxic work environment that is incomprehensible, accused of being a traitor to my gender and more than I have time to write here.

“All because I have refused to be quiet and I am a Republican woman.”
