King: Were you surprised that Laura, who’s had breast cancer, got into something that personal?

McCain: I had never heard of her before until this happened.

King: You didn’t know her?

McCain: No. I’m not familiar with her work. But I hope she doesn’t do it again.

King: What about Ann Coulter?

McCain: She didn’t respond, which is fine with me. … All I wanted to do is show women that you don’t have to be Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham to have a place in the Republican Party. … Supriya Jindal is a good role model, but a lot of people hadn’t heard of her.
