The conservative writer whose Twitter exchange with Meghan McCain became a viral meme is no longer writing for The Federalist following an exchange regarding another writer's sexuality on Saturday night.

Denise McAllister attracted attention earlier in March when she tweeted that "The View" was "a roundtable of delusional mental midgets ricocheting ignorance and lack of emotional regulation."

"You were at my wedding Denise," McCain replied.

Early Sunday morning, Ben Domenech, McCain’s husband, tweeted that McAllister was no longer at The Federalist, the conservative publication he co-founded.

In response to your many inquiries, we've spoken and Denise McAllister will not be writing for us at The Federalist any more. — Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) March 31, 2019

The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro told The Washington Post that he had asked McAllister to remove the publication from her Twitter bio.

The moves followed an exchange on Saturday night between McAllister and reporter Yashar Ali.

After McAllister, in a series of tweets, described an attempt to talk to her husband during a basketball game, Ali responded, "Oh Denise."

McAllister then pushed back on Ali, who is gay, by invalidating his opinion on heterosexual marriage, according to the Post.

“He’s right. I slipped.”

Most of the tweets have since been deleted, but in a remaining tweet, McAllister defended herself as "stand[ing] up for men being free in their masculinity."

I stand up for men being free in their masculinity. Respected for their masculinity. I’m attacked by gay men and their female sidekicks. What do you men think about this? We live in a society that wants to rob men of their manhood. Are you going to sit by and take it? Or fight? — DC McAllister (@McAllisterDen) March 31, 2019

While McAllister doubled down on her tweets Saturday night, she apologized Sunday afternoon.
