YIPPEE!! The View producers fed up with Meghan McCain for her on-screen outbursts and 'sulking'

The View producers fed up with Meghan McCain for her on-screen outbursts and ‘sulking’: report

Producers for “The View” are reportedly fed up with co-host Meghan McCain — and have told her to shape up or ship out.

Radar Online reported Tuesday that according to a source at “The View,” producers have chided McCain for an on-screen feud she had with fellow co-host Joy Behar on Monday.


During the spat, Behar panned her co-host for having a “hissy fit” over a discussion about senator and presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Donald Trump.

“Can I say something now? Is that ok? Do I have permission to speak now on Amy Klobuchar now? We’re all good?” McCain said at one point. “Alright, nope, nope, by all means, keep going, Joy.”

“If you’re going to have a hissy fit, we can’t continue,” Behar responded.

McCain, the report noted, is “losing patience” with the show — and its producers seem to be losing patience with her.

Why do we need to hear a republican point of view anyway? Shouldn't it just be four women sharing thoughts? Politics isn't for daytime, momma off work time.

What EXACTLY does she bring to the show ? Aside from being John's daughter, what has she really done in life ?

She's 34. She attended private, expensive schools. She has a B.A. in art history. She blogged during her dad's campaign. She wrote a book (borrrrrring) about the campaign.

Her obnoxious behavior on the show has revealed that she thinks she is something special. Just another entitled, trust-fund, wealthy spoiled little princess. Don't we already have enough of those ?

Well, maybe she'd be employed behind the cosmetic counter at a department store.

The View usually had one blonde right-wing airhead, but McCain is unpleasant and nasty, hardly someone people want to watch on their TV. She some appear to have emotional problems.

However, I don't think she was quite right before that and she probably needs to get some help. One thing I have noticed about republicans is that they have very little self-awareness and do not realize when they are their own problem. They just continue to lash out and blame others so they rarely undergo therapy, because to do so would be to admit that they are flawed.

so I figured they play it as long as they can, fire her, & hire another one just like her. The token tRumpsters really don't have the talking points to stand up for tRumps policies so the silent treatment is all they have when they have run out of the usual lies so they must recycle hosts from time to time.

In all the time she's been there she hasn't contributed anything that comes close to an intelligent thought.
She sits down at the end looking like she's sucking on sour persimmons.
The show isn't on for five minutes without her declaring she's a conservative and nobody's letting her say anything.
It makes no difference what the subject is.
Oh. And does anyone know her dad died of brain cancer?
That's something else she brings up early and often.
If she does stay maybe they could invest in a mirror for her dressing room.

She has no idea how to discuss a topic. If someone disagrees she is offended. In interviews she’s always going for gotcha questions or insulting the guest. Then there’s the rudeness. Worst of all she fancies herself a “political analyst.” They actually put her on This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

I sympathize that she lost her father but we don’t have to hear about it every day. I watch for Joy. If she’s not on I turn it off.

I feel a little sorry for her and think she needs help. That isn’t a popular thing to say around here about Meghan McCain, but I think she needs to see a therapist. Her political views are dreadful, she is unpleasant, and her outfits can give you a migraine. But she is still a person and I think she is suffering and has been since long before her father died.

I think much of her nastiness stems from her relationship and then marriage to an arrogant, harsh right wing extremist.

of a WWE rasslin' fake president Miss Vickie from about 15 years ago. She behaved like a spoiled brat but she was playing a role. I'm sure deep inside of McCain there's a well adjusted 10 year old dying to come out. I'm sure small business Czar Linda McMahon can find a place for McCain in the WWE if The View rightfully kicks her to the curb.
