If you ever watched more than one clip of “The View,” then you’d see that the premise of the show seems to be four libs beating up on a moderate conservative regularly. Meghan McCain was that conservative and after being on the show for 13 years, she had enough. She wrote a book explaining just how bad things were.
“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 was kind of obvious. Behar, Hostin, Goldberg, and Navarro were constantly after McCain for disagreeing with them. It was like a bit. McCain’s biggest bully was Behar. Joy Behar was constantly talking over McCain and there were many arguments that erupted from the two. Just from the clips I saw, Behar was serious when she went after McCain, there was nothing friendly about it. So good on her to get out, but I don’t know why she waited so long.
