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%.”

McCain should walk off.
You’re right. Conservatives should back away from fights. /s
Or at least waddle...................
She tried, but her fat folds got in the way.
Liberals are hypocrites.
I’m sorry but how is the panel genuinely diverse if there’s not a single Trump supporter even among the so called ‘conservatives’?
She'll have to kiss Behar’s and Whoppies rear from here on out. Best to leave with some dignity and self respect.
Goldberg should be made to apologize for that!!!!!
It’s not and it’s not supposed to be.
It’s just another propaganda out;et disguised as a Talk Show for Women, who are their targets.................
She won’t and will not.
ABC Disney is nothing but liberal hacks.................
lol
So she stop talking like a bitch?
Weak.
So should some Congressmen, from unAmerican hearings.
And so should any number of conservatives who end up on a hostile cable network being riduculed. I would be ripping off, not just dropping the mic and walking off the set. Who cares if they never invite you back, in truth most of them never should go on those shows to begin with.
As much as I dislike Ms. McCain, it would be sweet if she could get Whoopy or Bewhore to throw a stroke right on the set. Not a fatal one, obviously, just enough to put them on a permanent diaper and drool bucket.
No. She should have said, “Who the hell are you to tell me to stop talking? I’m one of the show’s hosts and I will say what I want.”
I don’t have a TV and if I did I would not be watching this tripe.
So while I agree with the premise of the story I would tell Megan to shut up too but probably add the words - you propagandist corrupt uniparty elitist bitch. Good thing I’m not on the view
No sympathy for the chubby spawn of tbe traitor.
I wonder if McCain realizes that her dad would have been one of the biggest supporters of this sham impeachment. He was that much of an ignorant buffoon and a traitor to conservatives.
Whoopi Cushion needs to be called out for culturally appropriating a Jewish Surname.
Nope , she should have reached over a ripped Whoopi’s tongue out
You got that right, F that f@cktard, her mother and the traitor.
