Meghan McCain managed to irk many Twitter users on Monday\u2019s episode of \u201cThe View\u201d\u00a0when she accused old family friend and current President Joe Biden of\u00a0\u201cdoing grave spiritual harm to himself and harm to this country\u201d by supporting abortion rights.<\/span><\/p>\n McCain was responding to U.S. Catholic bishops\u2019 recent attempts to block Communion for Catholic politicians like Biden who think people should have safe and legal access to the medical procedure.<\/p>\n \u201cThe View\u201d co-host \u2015 who is not Catholic \u2015 falsely suggested that Biden\u2019s support for reproductive rights constitutes a cardinal sin.
