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.

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.

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.”
