On Monday’s episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg repeatedly told co-host Meghan McCain, the lone right-leaning voice at the roundtable, to “stop talking.”
Goldberg blew her fuse when McCain attempted to talk about how at least half the country feels about the partisan impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. As was to be highlighted by McCain, polling post-impeachment inquiry has only spelled trouble for Democrats looking to take control of the White House in 2020.
Discussing the political ramifications of impeachment, McCain attempted to give a “conservative perspective,” though she was talked over by co-host Sunny Hostin.
“Let me finish,” McCain said. “If you want a conservative perspective ever —”
“Girl, please stop talking,” Goldberg interrupted. “Please stop talking right now. ‘Cause you know what —”
“No problem,” an irritated McCain answered. “I won’t talk for the rest of the show.”
“I’m okay with that,” Goldberg told McCain, scolding the co-host for her “behavior.”
While the Left celebrated Goldberg shutting up McCain, conservatives pointed out the irony of the actions by Whoopi, a supposedly pro-“diversity” intersectional feminist.
“Infuriating. EVERYBODY should watch [Whoopi Goldberg] rudely tell Meghan McCain to stop talking…,” said One American News Network host Liz Wheeler. “THIS IS WHAT LEFTISTS DO. If you’re a woman who DARES be conservative? Forget ‘respect women.’ They’ll try to shut you up.”
“Never back down, [Meghan McCain]!” she added.

If you're a woman who DARES be conservative?
Forget "respect women." They'll try to shut you up.
Never back down, @MeghanMcCain!pic.twitter.com/X0IbTi58ls

“Nothing says tolerance and diversity like Whoopi Goldberg telling Meghan McCain to shut up after McCain says literally *a* sentence about the political fallout from impeachment. So much sisterhood from Goldberg,” commented Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro.

McCain tweeted about the bias against conservatives following the show, clearly as a response to her interaction with Goldberg.
“Dems and [Republicans] alike need to confront the ugly truth: both parties are failing to be impartial jurors. I won’t be quiet, even if the reality reflects poorly on the entire political establishment,” she posted. “I have a responsibility to speak for the 50% that feels media doesn’t represent them.”

In another tweet, McCain commented on recent polling that shows “support for impeachment is officially under water.”
“Pointing out things that are true is part of my job even if it angers people and even if it’s politically inconvenient,” she said.

“Pretending half the country doesn’t exist won’t make them disappear,” McCain concluded. “The culture war is real, and Americans who aren’t part of the overwhelmingly anti-conservative media deserve to have their views represented.”

Polling on support for impeachment should have Democrats worried. As noted by The Daily Wire last week, “a new Real Clear Politics average poll, which was featured by Fox News’ Chris Wallace and Bret Baier on Thursday, noted that support for impeachment is now the lowest it has ever been and the opposition to it is at the highest it’s ever been.”
“Time is not their friend,” Wallace said of the Democrats, “and there was a fascinating poll today, it’s actually the Real Clear Politics average of recent polls and it shows that support impeaching and removing the president is at its lowest since this whole thing began two months ago. Opposition to impeaching and removing the president is at its highest, it’s basically, the two lines have intersected at I think 46%.”

There is supposedly, a second ‘conservative’ woman on that show. Abby Huntsman, but usually, she is too meek and mousey to speak up. She’ll sit there looking like a pretty painting, while Megan takes direct fire from Whoopie and The Gang with no back up.
Cawfee Tawk..
Meghan McCain, right-leaning?
She should have gotten off the chair and whooped Whoopie’s ass.
The McCains were the left’s idea of what Conservatives are supposed to be.
Ha. That's a laugh. She just doesn't lean as far left as they do, but she's nowhere near right-leaning.
Imagine how Whoopi would like if she had to grapple with a real conservative on the show rather than McCain’s spawn.
Daddy isn’t here to take care of her.
Her 15 min of fame is just about over.
What a fat, fugly bitch Whoopi is... good God, someone grab a fire hose and blast the ugly off that face.
Like the media, have always tried to push the RINOs on us in Presidential elections, and the stupid GOPe went along with them, until Donald Trump.
Didn't she cry, and tell them her dead Daddy was a hero?
She shouldn’t have even bothered telling them that it’s a loser cause for the Dems. She’s just like her Daddy...looking out for the other side.
Meghan is verklempt!
Exactly.
They cancel each other out.
I’m loving it. Pretty soon Captain Queeg’s daughter won’t have anyone listening to her.
McCain is not a Conservative.

Where would she get conservatism from?
Certainly never exposed to it in the home.
I’ve never watched The View-I’m at work in the AM-and I’m not into watching a show that sounds like a cage fight in heels...
Later
Ignore all this crap and it will go away. If you like it, watch it. Just like the impetuous jerks supporting a long, drawn out, gut wrenching, Senate trial. It will be FUBAR...just as everything else is connected with democrats and never Trumpers like Carly Fiorina today. Wanna see more of this crap?
At 4:50 Before this was more interesting in my opinion though. The lady is convinced that "something bad" happened and calls us reprehensible for not acknowledging "something bad." NONE of them could express what that is though.
