Commenters pointed out that McCain herself has enjoyed a career as a political commentator at least partly because of her father’s successful stint in Washington.

McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), derided Hunter Biden as a “nepo baby” in a post on X, formerly called Twitter, where she wrote, “No one is above the law except the Presidents nepo baby is a helluva parting message for democrats.”

As she is, herself, someone who could be referred to as a "nepo baby," meaning a person who could benefit from the privilege of nepotism, McCain's jab at Hunter landed her in the very hot seat she was seemingly trying to place him in.
