“There was no ‘snub’ or ‘VIP treatment'”

As Mediaite reports:

“According to White House sources, though, there was no ‘snub’ or ‘VIP treatment’ or anything of the sort, and Politico was told this but did not include it in their reporting.
McCain’s outreach came in early March, and the White House did respond through McCain’s representatives to say that she was not eligible for the vaccine. But crucially, the White House told The View that they would be happy to include McCain once she became eligible.”

“Of course we want conservatives to get vaccinated,” a White House source told Mediaite, adding, “She literally couldn’t do it because she was not eligible, and by the time that they wanted to do it, The View had moved on.”

Additionally, Goldberg’s interaction with the White House was apparently conducted by a virtual call, and McCain nor her representatives reportedly never reached out to make such a request, according to Mediate.
