The View should have a conservative voice, or voices. It gives the program more legitimacy as reflecting America. The problem is that The View chose a voice that speaks down to others and pretends to know far more than she does. Meghan McCain tends to afford her co-hosts as much respect as most MAGAs afford anyone who disagrees.

Today was no different and it got really heated because they talked COVID vaccine after watching a clip with Dr. Fauci’s latest recommendations. This is “auto-trouble” nowadays because the MAGAs hate Fauci almost as much as they hate doing the right thing with vaccines.

Joy started: “You know, he has to be diplomatic for some reason. He doesn’t want to upset people. He doesn’t want to step on people’s civil liberties. But I don’t have to be that way. You know what, it’s not that complicated, people. It’s not nuclear physics. All you have to do is get the damn vaccine. When you go inside, wear a mask, even if you have the vaccine. There might be variants around. Wear the damn vaccine. And then get the booster when that time is coming.”

Joy actually messed-up some of the latest recommendations, proving that they are a bit complicated. But doing the “right thing,” in being considerate of others, really isn’t that complicated. One can maintain social distancing no matter what. Joy continued:

“I don’t understand. This is just to own the libs? Maybe they’re not seeing enough on television the way people suffer when they get this disease. Even though the numbers are going down, people are still dying from it, and maybe they’re not seeing it.”

And that simple truth unleashed McCain, who – as we’ve noted time and time again, is ultra-MAGA, just not a Trump-lover (It is possible, see McCain, Meghan)

“The fact that there hasn’t been a summit, or a discussion, or figures that people trust on TV to try and help quell some of this, that’s why the conspiracy theories keep growing and spreading.”

Excuse us, and our language, but almost 600,000 Americans have died. Last year was the fcking time to start summits, discussions, and figures on TV that people trust, so that the entire nation got on the same page and did trust what they heard. As it is now, God himself could declare a summit and pronounce the vaccines safe and that masks aren’t a bad idea and the MAGAs would say, “But Trump always said…” Trump made the entire situation untrustworthy to the point that now even God couldn’t get it sorted out.

Then it really got heated. Behar said:

A lot of people of color have every right to be skeptical of the government. They have been burnt for generations by various — what should we put it — policies…

“I’m not saying they aren’t,” McCain cut in, and Behar stared down McCain to say, “Excuse me, I’m not done.”

But neither was Meghan, who continued on:

Republicans have reasons to be nervous for others — I’m not trying to judge.”

No, McCain wasn’t “trying” to judge, it comes too naturally. She went on:

“I want as many people vaccinated in as many ways, but I think when you come on the show and just say, ‘oh, we’re owning the libs,’ it’s just factually inaccurate about the demographics who are not getting the vaccine.

Behar noted that Hannity and Carlson’s viewers are the ones not wanting the vaccine. McCain disagreed while the two talked over each other.

Hilariously, McCain said that the group least likely to get the vaccine were highly educated women, which – according to McCain, makes the women watching Hannity and Carlson…

McCain said the people least likely to get the vaccine were “anti-vaxxers in Los Angeles,” which – we will note – whether true or not, do not make up a significant portion of the United States population, but the MAGAs actually do, unfortunately.

Poor Behar just kept shouting: “Excuse me, can I finish a sentence.”

She should know the answer. She is talking to a MAGA. Even if McCain hates Trump, she’s using his tactics. So the answer is, “No,” Joy may not finish her sentence.

FAUCI SAYS PUBLIC MISINTERPRETING MASK GUIDELINES: As the confusion continues after the CDC announced fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask, the co-hosts react to Dr. Fauci’s recent comments on mask guidelines. https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/css2rXEbxn
