Meghan McCain is not a fan of the Met Gala. "I think the Met ball is tone deaf given the times of extreme political populism we're living in," McCain, 41, wrote via X on Monday, May 4, the same day as the 2026 fundraiser. "The concept is creepy and the outfits look like villains in The Hunger Games." McCain also threw shade at congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for attending the event in 2021. (Ocasio-Cortez famously wore a white gown with the phrase "Tax the Rich" emblazoned in red.) "AOC will always be a moron for having attended," McCain wrote.
