White Lotus star Carrie Coon claps back at Meghan McCain in ugly spat over her support of Trump

White Lotus star Carrie Coon has responded to Meghan McCain after the duo’s ugly spat over President Donald Trump.

McCain contemplated boycotting the show after Coon called her out on X in response to a post showing support for Trump.

Coon’s character on the show was involved in one of the most viral scenes, in which three childhood friends began discussing politics over a bottle of wine and one of the women revealed she was a MAGA supporter.

Now, in a tell-all with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the hit HBO show’s season finale on Sunday, Coon has waded back into the conversation to reveal why McCain likely would have resonated with the scene.

‘I do think people like Meghan McCain and her community are really gratified to see a conservative person on television,’ she said.

‘I have conservative people in my life who reached out to me to say that was an awesome conversation, because I don’t think it vilifies Kate.’

After Trump’s joint address to congress in early March, McCain took to X to reveal his speech had brought her to tears.

McCain’s father, the late senator John McCain, tragically died from brain cancer in 2018.

As McCain’s post was inundated with messages from confused critics who said Trump had actually cut funding for cancer research, Coon shared her own thoughts, writing: ‘Who’s gonna tell her?’

Two days later, McCain hit back by sharing the smirking photo of Coon’s colleague Leslie Bibb, who plays Trump-supporting Kate, after breaking the news of her allegience to her friends in the scene.

She then said she couldn’t ‘decide if I should still watch tonight since one of the stars decided to tweet some nasty crap at me.’

Bibb herself said she found the Trump scene ‘amazing’, praising show creator Mike White for his ‘uncanny ability to instantly be part of the zeitgeist.’
