It’s official: chivalry is not dead. After Meghan McCain had a prickly conversation with comedian Seth Meyers on his program Tuesday night, her husband, Ben Domenech, swiftly came to her defense in a middle of the night Twitter tirade using the words “gargle” and “Lorne Michaels” and “balls.” (RELATED: Meghan McCain Rips Seth Meyers For Defending Ilhan Omar) Just after 11 a.m. Wednesday, Domenech apologized for his “rage” tweeting.” I love my wife. I apologize for rage tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her. I don’t like him, I think he’s a hack, but I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry to anyone I offended. — Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) May 8, 2019 McCain, a co-host on ABC’s The View, has taken heat for blasting Rep. Ilhan Omar‘s (D-Minn.) remarks about Jews as well as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for not being hard enough on Omar. Meyers went after McCain Tuesday night to the point where McCain snapped, “Are you her publicist?” Some deemed hubby’s defense of his wife “homophobic” and hypocritical since The Federalist publisher has fired writers for being anti-gay. In March, he fired Denise McAllister for her anti-gay remarks directed at freelance writer Yashar Ali on Twitter. Her firing likely also stemmed from her calling the ladies of “The View” a “roundtable of delusional mental midgets.” McCain famously replied, “You were at my wedding, Denise!” Domenech deleted a few of his sharper tweets, but left his general disemboweling of Meyers posted. Domenech got pushback for his more vulgar tweets. “Someone’s projecting,”cracked Eamon Paton-Usry, an openly-gay wrestling commentator, on Twitter. “Hey, remember when you fired one of your contributors because you & your organization can’t stand for homophobic tweets?” At 2:28 a.m., Domenech called Meyers a “monumental asshole.” “Seth is an awful person who is known within the industry for how terrible he is. He is a monumental asshole who is utterly unfunny. He deserves the mockery he receives from all the people who laugh at him.” At 2:31 a.m., Domenech called Meyers a “cuck.” “Here is proof that white men get ahead despite their obvious lack of talent: it’s @sethmeyers, who would beg for a third of the viewers at @TheView. He’s awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck.” At 2:46 a.m. Domenech explained that lots of other people think Meyers is a “shitty person.” “But the best thing is how much all the people around @sethmeyers talk about what a shitty person he is. Because oh, it is sad. So terrible. But he deserves all of it.” So far, McCain has remained mum on Twitter.<doc-sep>Meghan McCain’s husband on Wednesday went on a profanity-laced tirade against late-night host and “Saturday Night Live” alum Seth Meyers after his wife’s tense appearance on his show. Ben Domenech, the founder of conservative website The Federalist, went on the rant after McCain verbally sparred with the “Late Night” host, The Daily Beast reported. In a series of since-deleted tweets, Domenech called Meyers an “untalented piece of shit who only has has job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls,” referring to SNL’s creator. ADVERTISEMENT Domenech then described Meyers’s exchange with his wife as “idiotic anti-Semitic bullshit,” according to the deleted tweets obtained by the outlet. “Seth is an awful person who is known within the industry for how terrible he is,” Domenech tweeted. “He is a monumental asshole who is utterly unfunny. He deserves the mockery he receives from all the people who laugh at him?” He continued by saying Meyers is proof “that white men get ahead despite their obvious lack of talent.” “It’s @sethmeyers, who would beg for a third of the viewers at @TheView. He’s awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck," Domenech reportedly wrote. The Los Angeles Times reported that “cuck” is shorthand for “cuckservative,” an alt-right term. The word is a combination of “conservative” and “cuckold” and is meant to describe men being emasculated or Republicans perceived to be “selling out.” It can also reportedly have racist implications. Domenech ended his rant by saying that people all around Meyers “talk about what a shitty person he is. Because oh, it is sad. So terrible. But he deserves all of it.” ADVERTISEMENT After his since-deleted tweets sparked backlash, Domenech took to Twitter to apologize for “rage tweeting.” “I love my wife. I apologize for rage tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her. I don't like him, I think he's a hack, but I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry to anyone I offended,” he wrote. I love my wife. I apologize for rage tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her. I don't like him, I think he's a hack, but I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry to anyone I offended. — Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) May 8, 2019 The tweets appeared to be linked to McCain's heated appearance on Meyers’s show on Tuesday night regarding her recent comments about freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar Ilhan OmarGOP senators introduce resolution condemning antisemitic violence amid 'horrific' spike in attacks US sees startling rise in antisemitic attacks Ilhan Omar is wrong about 'Cold War' with China MORE (D-Minn.), one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Meyers mentioned death threats Omar has received, asking if McCain stood by statements she made criticizing Omar after a shooting at a California synagogue last month. Meyers asked McCain if she thought people needed to be careful about what they said about Omar, "or do you stand by those comments of tying her to this, her rhetoric to the synagogue shooting?" McCain said she stood by all of her comments, adding, “If that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it.” The two continued to discuss Omar, with McCain holding a critical view of the congresswoman and her tweets. “You do keep bringing up the two tweets that she’s apologized for and I think that’s a little unfair to her, especially because we’ve established—" Meyers said before McCain cut him off. “Are you her publicist? Are you her press person?” McCain fired back. Meyers insisted that he was trying to find “common ground” and understand her point of view. “I’m perfectly happy with everything that’s coming out of your mouth and I like that we spent this time together,” he told her.<doc-sep>The View cohost Meghan McCain’s appearance on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers began as friendly but grew increasingly uncomfortable as Meyers asserted that her comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar were “dangerous.” Following the appearance, McCain’s husband, Ben Domenech, wrote a now-deleted Twitter screed in which he threw a homophobic phrase at Meyers, accusing him of having “gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls.” “I see that @sethmeyers, the untalented piece of shit who only has a job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls, went after my wife tonight with his idiotic anti-Semitic bullshit,” Domenech wrote in the now-deleted Tweets that The Daily Beast was able to screenshot. Michaels is the creator and longtime producer of Saturday Night Live, where Meyers was a cast member and head writer, as well as the executive producer of Late Night. Domenech, founder and publisher of the conservative site The Federalist, was referring to Meyers taking McCain to task for her comments on This Week With George Stephanopoulos where she tried to draw a line from Omar’s controversial tweets to the recent shooting in a synagogue in Poway, Calif. “You once again, on a Sunday news show, brought up her tweets again in the context of that shooting,” Meyers said. “I do think it’s fairly dangerous, and you brought it up after Congresswoman Omar had also had some death threats against her. She’s obviously now stated she needs to be more careful with her language. Don’t you think people who talk about her need to be a little bit more thoughtful as well? Or do you stand by those comments of tying her rhetoric to the synagogue shooting?” “I don’t think I tied her to it in particular. I think that I’m calling out what I see as anti-Semitic language,” McCain said. “But you called it out after she’d apologized for it. I do want to establish the timeline,” Meyers added. “I think the Democrats are hedging on this. I think it’s very dangerous, and I think Chuck Schumer and I are in alignment about Israel’s stance in geopolitical politics. I think it’s of the utmost importance, and I think she is bringing her party to the extreme, to the extremism on this,” McCain said. “I stand by every single thing I’ve said, and if that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it.” Meyers continued to push back against McCain’s assertions until she asked, “What would make you happy coming out of my mouth right now? I’m genuinely curious.” “I’m perfectly happy with everything that’s coming out of your mouth and I like that we spent this time together,” Meyers replied But that did not satisfy Domenech, who fired off several tweets in response. Earlier this year, Domenech fired conservative writer Denise McAllister (of “You were at my wedding, Denise” fame) from The Federalist for a string of homophobic tweets aimed at gay writer Yashar Ali. But the morning after his wife’s appearance with Meyers, Domenech was penning homophobic tweets. In addition to the “gargling” comment, Domenech had the following to say about the former SNL head writer. “Seth is an awful person who is known within the industry for how terrible he is,” Domenech wrote. “He is a monumental asshole who is utterly unfunny. He deserves the mockery he receives from all the people who laugh at him?” “Here is proof that white men get ahead despite their obvious lack of talent. It’s @sethmeyers, who would beg for a third of the viewers at @TheView. He’s awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck,” he added, referring to a popular far-right pejorative. “But the best thing is how much all the people around @sethmeyers talk about what a shitty person he is. Because oh, it is sad. So terrible. But he deserves all of it.” Watch the exchange between McCain and Meyers below.<doc-sep>
The heated argument between Seth Meyers and Meghan McCain on “The Late Night With Seth Myers” agitated one person- McCain’s husband. As one of the co-hosts on “The View”, McCain was visiting the “Late Show” where Meyers said it was “dangerous” for McCain to continue talking about comments that Rep. Ilhan Omar made that were considered anti-Semitic, even after “unequivocally” apologizing. McCain told the late night host that she believed in “every single thing” she said about Omar, adding, “If that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it.” RELATED: Leslie Jones Nerds Out Over The ‘Game Of Thrones’ With Seth Meyers Meyers furthered questioned McCain, “Is there a way for people to talk about differences in Israeli policy without getting framed as anti-Semitic language?” “Are you her publicist? Are you her press person?” McCain argued back. “What would make you happy coming out of my mouth right now, I’m genuinely curious?” “I’m perfectly happy of everything that’s come out of your mouth,” Meyers responded, “and I like that we spent this time together.” She added that her “opinions are very strong,” Meyers quipped, “That is coming across, I do want you to know that!” McCain’s husband Ben Domenech, a conservative commentator, took to Twitter wherein now-deleted tweets, vented his frustrations with the interview. “I see that @sethmeyers, the untalented piece of sh*t who only has his job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels’ balls, went after my wife tonight with his idiotic anti-Semitic bulls**t,” read one of the tweets that the Daily Beast documented.

He’s awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck.” Domenech did apologize for “rage tweeting” in the only tweet still on his feed. I love my wife.
