‘I Love Her’: Meghan McCain’s ‘Controversial Opinion’ About Kenya Moore Gets Welcomed by ‘RHOA’ Star Herself

It looks like Kenya Moore has a fan in Meghan McCain.

The outspoken co-host of ABC’s “The View” alarmed fans this weekend when she announced her support for Moore, who returned to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Sunday after a year away from the show.

“I’m so glad #RHOA is back. This first episode is already better than the entirety of OC’s season thus far. Also, this may be a controversial opinion, but I am also happy for Kenya’s return to the series,” McCain tweeted during the season 12 premiere Nov. 3. The post was accompanied by a GIF of Moore snapping and exclaiming, “Yaaasss!”

The post caused many to raise their eyebrows and several admitted that they agreed with her for a change.

“I’m Sad to say !!i agree with you”

“Never did I think we’d agree but …alas here we are!… I’m with you on this one sis”

“Something we agree on as millennials. πŸ‘πŸΎ”

“I sooooo agree, Rhoc has gone downhill, I’m happy Kenya is back also. 😊”

“I’m with you on that!! She brings the flavor!”

“I didn’t know you watch the black franchises πŸ‘€ okay Meg! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜©πŸ˜©”

During Moore’s appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” following the “RHOA” premiere that night, host Andy Cohen brought McCain’s tweet to the reality TV star’s attention.

“Meghan McCain tweeted that she is happy for your return to the series!” Cohen said at the top of Bravo’s nightly talk show.

“I love her,” Moore responded.

This is not the first time McCain has made it clear she’s a fan of “The Real Housewives” franchise at large. The columnist told Cohen back in September that her daytime talk show “The View” can bear some similarities to the reality series.

“Look, ‘The View’ can be like the ‘Housewives’ sometimes,” said on “WWHL” after explaining why she appeared to storm off the set during a heated discussion about President Donald Trump on “The View” with guest host Ana Navarro.

During that same appearance, McCain explained what led her to get up and leave the table.

“I just want to say the walking off footage, we are told by producers to leave the table if it’s too heated,” she said. “I’ve done that many times over the years.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
