The token ‘conservative’ on The View, Meghan McCain, occasionally gets it right. During a debate about ‘identity politics,’ McCain struck leftist hard with their politically correct agenda where Democrats care more about optics than reality. In today’s culture, you are likely to be passed up in areas like education, employment, and even living space based on your gender identity or race.
It’s become Democrats have placed more importance on the illusion of equality than the quality of a person. The debate was brought up earlier this week when Senators Mazie Hirano and Tammy Duckworth vowed to block Cabinet nominees who weren’t of Asian American and Pacific Islander descent.
During her talking points, McCain asked her fellow co-hosts which one of them will step down from The View to give their job to someone with Asian heritage:
‘The View’ hosts mostly supported the idea of diversity over qualifications. In fact, everyone but the token-conservative Mehgan McCain agreed. McCain snapped back, suggesting that ‘The View’ hosts should step down over their lack of Asian representation. Oddly enough, none of the cast volunteered their position:
“We’re going to a place where even if [white] people need money, even if [white] people are qualified to get into Ivy Leagues, race and gender is more important than your skill qualifications, the content of your character,” she remarked. “It is not what Martin Luther King Jr. preached. I think this is a very, very slippery slope.”
“I think this is just the natural progression of identity politics,” she continued. “The View is 25 years old next year. We’ve only had one Asian American host co-host this show. So does that mean that one of us should be leaving at some point because there’s not enough representation?”
“I think this is a very, very slippery slope,” said McCain, who co-hosted Fox News’ daytime show “Outnumbered” before joining “The View.”
“I was very surprised to hear someone like Tammy Duckworth say something like this,” she added, referring to the Illinois lawmaker’s statement that she would vote against “all non-diversity nominees” until the White House committed to more representation. “She got a lot of blowback from a lot of people, not just on the right.”
McCain went on to say she believed “this is actually just the natural progression of identity politics. And I will say, just to put a cap on this, ‘The View’ is 25 years old next year. We’ve only had one Asian-American host co-host this show. So does that mean that one of us should be leaving at some point because there’s not enough representation?”
“We’re talking about: is identity politics more important than qualifications of a job?” McCain, who launched her professional career blogging about her father’s 2008 presidential campaign, wondered. “And I think that’s a question going forward that the progressive left is going to have to reconcile.”

Rather than respond to McCain’s proposal that one of the cast members should leave so that an Asian co-host can be brought in, Whoopi Goldberg cut to commercial. The conversation was never brought up again.
Imagine that…
