McCain Reveals Why She Aburptly Left The Vipers At "The View"
It is a wonder that she lasted as long as she did. Meghan McCain has been on "The View" since 2008 and has constantly been at odds with the hosts there. She recently came out with a tell-all book revealing the real reason that she left the show and how her co-hosts were by no means friendly.
"There was "toxic, direct and purposeful hostility" from the two women, McCain writes, and it "grew meaner and less forgiving" as Trump’s tenure wore on, "as if I had become an avatar for everything they hated about the president."
"On her second day back at work, during an on-air squabble with Behar about the Democratic Party, McCain tried a tongue-in-cheek line: "Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave. You missed fighting with me."
"I did not," Behar said. "I did not miss you. Zero."
McCain was stunned. "I felt like I’d been slapped," she said.
When the show went to commercial, McCain burst into "uncontrollable sobbing" at the "nasty" remark. She pulled herself together, but with her hormones raging, she describes the experience as "intensely heartbreaking."
After the show, McCain resumed crying and threw up in a garbage can. And that’s when she concluded: "This s*** isn’t worth it. Nothing in life is worth it."
McCain later told her executive producer to ask Behar to apologize, since "she had humiliated me live on air." She was told that would not happen."
This is not all that surprising. If you ever watched any of the segments with Joy Behar and McCain, they were constantly after each other and there was nothing friendly about how they were treating each other. But what did McCain expect? The show was four uber Libs patting each other on the back and McCain would often be trying to bring a voice of reason to their discussions. Libs hate rational discussion, it makes them want to retreat to their safe spaces.
