Meghan McCain and Carrie Coon Feud Deepens Over 'White Lotus' Conservative Character

The ongoing public exchange highlights cultural and political divides as the Season 3 finale approaches this weekend.

Meghan McCain criticized Carrie Coon's comments about conservatives feeling 'gratified' by the portrayal of a Trump-supporting character in 'The White Lotus.'
Carrie Coon questioned whether her remarks about conservative representation were inflammatory, asking if 'gratified' had become a 'trigger word.'
The feud began in March after Coon responded to McCain's praise of Donald Trump's State of the Union address with a critical comment.
Coon revealed that a subplot involving her character's nonbinary child was cut from the season, reflecting the challenges of addressing complex issues in a polarized political climate.
The exchange has drawn attention to broader debates about political identity and representation in media, with the show's finale airing on April 6, 2025.
