During Tuesdays broadcast of The View, co-host Meghan McCain seemed irritated and annoyed with her colleagues for not taking her viewpoints on politics seriously enough, insisting at one point that she comes to the show every day to give a different perspective.
With the show hitting the air just moments after a House Judiciary Committee hearing adjourned following former White House counsel Don McGahn defying a congressional subpoena, the hosts jumped right into a debate over impeachment and whether the president attempted to obstruct justice.
This prompted outspoken liberal co-host Joy Behar to take aim at the Republican Party as a whole for circling the wagons around Trump, insisting that if Richard Nixon were president today he would have gotten away with everything just like this corrupt president is getting away with. She went on to say that Republicans taking Trumps side should all be thrown into jail to raucous applause from the audience.
Adding that it felt a little aggressive, McCain brought up that there were 10,000 people at Trumps Monday night rally in a Pennsylvania town as proof of Trumps popularity. Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin, meanwhile, joked that the president must have imported the rally attendees due to the towns small population of 4,000 people.
Fine, McCain huffed, rolling her eyes, demonstrating clearly that she was clearly frustrated.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg then jumped in to suggest that ignoring subpoenas should equal jail time, drawing cheers from the audience.
This appeared to get on McCains nerves. Ill wait until everyone is done applauding, she said.

I can never focus on what she's saying bc her makeup is so awful and her hairstyle so severe. Regardless of her politics and privilege, she is an attractive young woman. She doesn't need all that crap on her eyes.

If someone insulted my family like Trump did hers, Id hate his guts, but she sounds like she wants to be wife #4.

(2,787 posts)even after Trump attacked her father multiple times. Glad I don't watch the view and as long as she is on that show I never will.

(3,479 posts)Her take that Democrats could "blow it" by impeaching Trump is little more than concern trolling.

(4,575 posts)I quit watching that show a long time ago but the sound of her certainly wouldn't draw me back. She acts like a petulant child.

(26,336 posts)She speed reads talking points from her stack of blue cards, and then will inevitably go off on a long winded, rapid speed blathering of her own point of view. She spouts opinions as facts and heaven help anyone who tries to rein her into the sphere of facts and reality. Even worse when the audience applauds that differing opinion. I've lost count of how many times she's been refuted with facts, and her response is to roll her eyes and pout, or go on a screeching tirade. She is a classic professional victim.
Meghan has a BA in Art History. She seems to think she's absorbed some sort of political savvy from her father. She hasn't.
I really, really hope her contract isn't renewed.

(54,527 posts)Namely.......GET SERIOUS !!
But that may be asking for something she is incapable of delivering.
Her decision to assume the appearance she presents is, of course, her right and her option, but she has no business EVER saying anything "anti-choice" again.

She's not been on in some weeks.

(10,885 posts)She'd be a guest and occasionally a guest co-host, and at one time was under consideration to be permanent along with several others, which didn't pan out. The best conservative co-host they had was Nicolle Wallace, but she was treated shabbily by TPTB for not having sufficient pop culture knowledge, so she sought - and received - greater opportunity elsewhere. ..The View's loss.
Ana Navarro is wonderful on the show, but is Miami based and doesn't want to relocate to NYC. She works well as a guest co-host and Friday fill-in, and is nicely received by the audience and the other panel members other than NutMeg McCain. Tara Setmayer was similarily received and seems to be always welcome.
The conservatives who have come and gone deserved their fate. I'm looking at you, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Candace Cameron Bure, and Jedediah Bila.

I do not understand this woman at all.

(28,896 posts)They would just replace her with someone like SC Cupp or worse. Shes comic relief.
Besides, she likes Biden and she wont like any other Democrat.
Shes so predictably vile.

(34,540 posts)otherwise be watching Fox or paying no attention to politics. Thanks, Joy, for putting the truth out there.

(21,290 posts)She brings nothing to the show and she acts like a petulant best. She thinks she is such an expert and knows how Democratic voters think. She has no clue nursing has she ever lived an authentic life. Always privileged never had to worry a day in her phony life.
