(CNN)According to Meghan McCain, "it shouldn't take a rocket scientist" to know who she is voting for in the next presidential election. "There's one man who has made pain in my life a living hell and another man who has literally shepherded me through the grief process," McCain said Wednesday night during "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen."

Megan McCain comments on Trump campaign ad: "I thought this ad was a kill shot."

"The View" host Joy Behar told Democrats to not tell Americans their plans for gun control and to wait to take away firearms until after they are elected on Monday. The panel was discussing the recent dropouts of the 2020 Democratic primary and who might be next after former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke ended his campaign on Friday. "Beto, when my husband told me he got out of the race, I think he’s actually like a beta test for why going so national and being beloved by the media is so dangerous," host Meghan McCain said. McCain said despite how...

An argument broke out on Friday’s The View, between co-hosts Meghan McCain and Whoopi Goldberg, over whether Bernie Sanders and other 2020 Democrats were pushing eugenics as a way to combat climate change. Whoopi fiercely defended Sanders, even claiming that the eugenics movement had nothing to do with minorities or birth control. “I’m not sure why people are upset with him,” Whoopi admitted, after playing a clip from CNN’s town hall on climate change where Sanders touted abortion as a worldwide means to cut down the human population. They highlighted a tweet from CNN’s S.E. Cupp calling Sanders’ idea, “eugenics.”...

After two days of hearings and one Democratic debate, the women of The View had plenty to talk about on Thursday morning, and they didn’t hold back. When Behar, filling in for regular moderator Whoopi Goldberg, asked the panel if Trump is starting to get nervous, the panel was split. While Sunny Hostin said that Trump “appeared to be coming undone” in a Wednesday press conference, Abby Huntsman insisted that he isn’t, as “90% of Republicans still support this president,” and they likely will “until you can point to a crime that the president committed.” “Baloney!” replied Behar. “They’re in...

Meghan McCain noted the sharp shift among independents to being now against impeachment, before touting retiring moderate Republican Congressman Will Hurd’s remarks Thursday, that Democrats have not made their case for an impeachable offense. Sunny Hostin tore into him as “complicit” in “enabling the President.” As Huntsman echoed Hurd’s point, Behar snapped: “They have really brainwashed you. They have brainwashed Americans into thinking he didn’t commit a crime!” she ranted. From there, the conversation descended into chaos, as Huntsman asked why Democrats couldn’t just vote Trump out in 2020. “Because impeachment is provided for in the Constitution!” Hostin declared as...

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,”...

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain commended Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, on Thursday as the congresswoman faced criticism over her decision to vote "present" on impeaching President Trump. "I was watching the impeachment process when I got home last night and I too would not have voted for it," McCain said. "And I actually think Tulsi Gabbard has absolute balls of steel to vote present because that's what I would have done if I were her as well." Gabbard skipped the procedural votes in the morning and just as the first vote on impeachment for abuse of power was winding down,...

Meghan McCain ditched “The View” on Thursday morning after Page Six reported she’s hated by her co-hosts. “Meghan’s out today. She’ll be back on Monday,” Whoopi Goldberg told the audience as she opened the show. She didn’t provide any further explanation. McCain did somewhat confusingly appear in a pre-taped interview with Michael B. Jordan in the middle of the live show. Sources told us McCain planned a personal day on Friday, but was unexpectedly absent from the table on Thursday. “She stayed home for a personal matter,” a source close to McCain told Page Six.

Abby Huntsman announced on Monday she’s quitting “The View” to join her father, Jon Huntsman Jr., on his Utah gubernatorial campaign. But Page Six is told that the campaign isn’t the real reason for her exit from the ABC fixture, which has recently been rocked by a breakdown in the relationship between Meghan McCain and her fellow panelists. “It’s an unhealthy environment — just the way that things are handled during shows and how people deal with each other,” said an insider familiar with Huntsman’s thinking. “It’s intense.” “Abby made an issue [to executives] about the overall environment. She’s felt...

During an episode of “The View” earlier this month, Senator Elizabeth Warren explained her wealth tax plan for the top one-tenth of the 1 percent. Some viewers were quick to notice the presidential candidate’s sly and effective tactic while doing so: a deft rebuffing of the co-host Meghan McCain’s multiple attempts to interject. Ms. Warren never skipped a beat while ignoring Ms. McCain until she was prepared to engage in discussion with her on her own terms, to raucous applause. Ms. Warren seemed to know what she would be up against when appearing on the long-running daytime talk show. Since...

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain slammed the "performance art" of House Intelligence Committee chairman and leading House manager Adam Schiff, D-Calif., during the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, suggesting Schiff's dramatics are meant to indicate future political ambitions. After Schiff received praise by her daytime co-hosts, McCain began by expressing she feels like she "lives on a different planet" by not being enthralled by his opening arguments. "When I saw Adam Schiff, I thought he seemed pretty performative ... and that he's clearly trying to take over for Dianne Feinstein at some point," McCain said, referring to the California...

Roberta McCain, the mother of the late Sen. John McCain, celebrated her 108th birthday on Friday. Her granddaughter, Meghan McCain, tweeted out the news. "Happy 108th Birthday to my nana Roberta. You are our matriarch," the conservative co-host of ABC's The View said. "Completely ageless, classic, lovely, strong, smart, sarcastic, irreverent and all things I love in this world. We are so grateful for you." McCain, 35, also shared the secret to her grandmother's long life on The View after host Sunny Hostin asked: "Have you ever asked her what her secret is to longevity?" "She said, 'A sense of...

The View‘s Meghan McCain recently sought a clearer answer from Mayor Pete Buttigieg about his position on late-term abortion. She asked him where he drew the line and whether his position included a baby actually being born: Buttigieg: We live in a country where it is extremely important that no one person should have to be subject to some other person’s interpretation of their own religion.” I wondered whether Mayor Pete thought religious freedom equally applied to say, Jack Phillips’ right not to be forced to create a custom cake for a gay wedding. Sure enough I found a piece...

When it comes to The View‘s co-hosts, they certainly aren’t feeling the Bern. On Tuesday morning, the panel tore into Sen. Bernie Sanders for praising Fidel Castro’s “literacy program,” a sentiment that he doubled down on during a town hall on Monday night. For once, the panel was in agreement that Sanders’ defense of Castro is a “bad” move, particularly as his remarks may alienate Latino voters in Florida. “It’s no different than saying, ‘Hitler was a good orator,'” ripped Meghan McCain. “It’s that insane!” The View co-hosts wasted no time on Tuesday morning before tearing into Sanders, the current...

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Meghan McCain suggested President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response “could be the silver bullet that takes out this administration.” McCain said, “The problem is when I watched it live like we all did, is he’s a politician that inspires anger really well. If you want to get riled up and angry, he’s a politician who does it well. The I feel your pain and fear, incapable of it. He could have been reading the phonebook last night. He should have been saying, I understand Americans are scared. Have a Ronald Reagan-esque moment. His inability to...

“The View” co-host Meghan McCain said on Monday that White House coronavirus press conferences should be aired — but not because she is a fan of the daily briefings. Many members of the mainstream media have called for President Trump’s daily press conferences to be silenced or banned, with some critics comparing them to campaign rallies and others accusing the president of spreading misinformation. But McCain thinks the American people need to see what Trump has to say for the sake of transparency so that he can’t use people’s fears to his benefit. “My argument for keeping the press conferences...

On Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” while discussing the failed 2020 presidential candidacy of former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), co-host Joy Behar commented on O’Rourke’s calls for a ban on assault-style weapons. Behar said, “They should not tell everything they’re going to do. If you are going to take people’s guns away, wait until you get elected and then take them away. Don’t tell them ahead of time.” Co-host Meghan McCain said, “By the way, that’s what people like me think you’re going to do, so I appreciate his honesty.”

Even though the left and right came together to celebrate the Obama administration’s victory killing Osama Bin Laden in 2011, the leftists in the media couldn’t do the same for President Trump, when the U.S. military led a raid Saturday that killed prominent ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The anti-Trump hosts of The View Monday were so bitter, that they basically admitted there wasn’t anything Trump could do that would be applauded by them, because he was “tainted.” Co-host Joy Behar gave a jaw-dropping response to the news. Whoopi Goldberg asked the table, “So can we at least agree that...

Meghan McCain ripped into President Donald Trump on Thursday for pulling U.S. troops out of Northern Syria to allow Turkish forces to attack the America-allied Kurds. The View kicked things off by discussing Trump insulting the Kurds while they face attacks from the Turkish military. Trump’s remarks drew a rebuke from the panel, with Joy Behar remarking that “draft evasion runs in the family.” McCain cited reporting of Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin, who heard from a U.S. Special Forces soldier who said he was “ashamed” by what’s happening in Syria. McCain said she was “happy” with the bipartisan outrage...
