  "account": "Conservative commentator Meghan McCain expressed her disapproval of conservative media's approach to postpartum depression, warning that their views were \"scaring the normies\" ahead of the 2028 election. The controversy erupted following a trial involving Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman accused of strangling her three children in January 2023. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder, and her defense claims she lacked responsibility due to severe postpartum psychosis and other mental health issues.\n\nMatt Walsh, a far-right political commentator and podcast host, went viral on X by suggesting that postpartum struggles were primarily caused by selfishness, rather than hormonal changes. His comments sparked outrage, with fellow conservative pundits like Kylie Jane Kremer and Corinne Clark Barron condemning his take as \"genuinely diabolical\" and \"anti-woman.\" Barron, a Republican strategist, recounted her own struggles with postpartum depression, emphasizing the \"greatest hormone crash of your life\" that many women experience after childbirth.\n\nOther conservative men chimed in on the trial, with Andrew Kolvet, a TPUSA spokesman, dismissing Clancy as not a victim and stating that her children were the victims. Despite backlash, Walsh maintained his stance, insisting that his comments were not denying postpartum depression's existence and that he maintained his position.",
