It's a McCain family feud against Glenn Beck
The situation began when Glenn Beck mocked Meghan McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain about a televised public service announcement she did to promote skin cancer awareness. Beck, while discussing the ad on his nationally syndicated radio show, began making vomiting sounds while taking about Meghan's appearance. That drew an immediate rebuke from her, as she called Beck "pathetic" on Twitter. A day later her mother fired back at Beck saying, "I’m so glad Glenn Beck is leaving Fox. Enough vitriol and hate. Glenn you are no rodeo clown. They are decent and nice. You aren't." Senator McCain. who has suffered on multiple occasions with melanoma, took the high road, telling CNN's John King, "I feel proud of my family … I‘m proud of all of them, and I think the American people will judge them for the fine and decent people they are." Beck responded to the McCains during an appearance with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, where O'Reilly said, "If I was Cindy McCain I'd slap the hell out of you." Beck, who admitted it was "juvenile" of him to make the vomiting sounds, joked that his actions will help "bring attention" to the issue of skin cancer, but added, "You know what, Meghan McCain? Please. I've had enough of Meghan McCain as much as she's had enough of me." You can watch Beck's responses here.
