Bitter Meghan McCain Says the ‘Crazy Old Ladies’ on The View ‘Bullied and Abused’ Her — And They Won’t Stop Talking About Her

During her time as a co-host on The View, Meghan McCain repeatedly fought with her fellow co-hosts and eventually left the show at the end of July 2021. She kvetched about her colleagues before and after she left the show and has continued kvetching about them ever since. And she did so again during an appearance on Michael Malice’s podcast Your Welcome, claiming she was relentlessly bullied during her time on the show, according to Mediaite.

“The thing about The View is that I didn’t know when I signed my contract with ABC that this is forever, that, for the rest of my life, I’m going to be bullied, yelled at, abused, and brought up for years,” McCain said Wednesday. 

“I haven’t been on that show in years,” she noted. “I’m just trying to live my life.”

“I just didn’t know that when I signed to do this show that I have to deal with these crazy old people just yelling about me all of the time,” she continued. “I go whole swaths of time without thinking about them, whole months without thinking about the show or anything. Apparently, I’m just on their minds every day. And it’s pathetic.”

And once again, the subject of her ire is The View co-host Ana Navarro, who during a recent segment on the show seemed to take a dig at Meghan, the daughter of the late GOP Sen. John McCain (Arizona), for profiting from her family name. Everyone was discussing President Joe Biden and the allegations against his son Hunter.

“Look, did Hunter Biden influence-peddle on his last name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington. People sitting at this table did it!” Navarro said.

Someone asked who she was referring to, and she responded, “I’m not talking about currently.”

That dig didn’t sit well with McCain.

“I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” she responded on X, adding she was questioning her lawyers about Navarro’s remarks.

“It has been years – move on, I have. I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American – I would never and have never ‘influenced peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries,” she continued. “Not all politicians children are the same – and I am no Hunter Biden. All accusations are absurd, defamatory, and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.”

Malice tried to suggest that The View is a “psy-op” to encourage Americans to repeal the rights of women to vote. McCain must really be desperate for attention by appearing on a podcast where the host is this ridiculous. At least she had the decency to dismiss this, anyway,

“I honestly don’t think that, just from working there, that they’re that smart. It’s a very disorganized place backstage. It’s very chaotic, I think that’s giving people that work there a lot of credit that they shouldn’t have. It’s kind of a rigged show,” McCain commented. “At night, all the hosts are given Hot Topics to choose from, you’re sent news articles you want to talk about the next day. Whatever the majority chooses is the topic of the show. Anything that makes Democrats look bad is never chosen. I had to go in every morning being like, ‘Hey, whatever news story that makes Biden look bad is the number one news story of the day,’ and there would be a fight over whether or not it should even be aired because the hosts didn’t agree on it. That was always a battle every day.”

McCain likes to hate on Donald Trump, but she sure acts like him sometimes. Like him, she’s always the victim and everyone else has wronged her. She’s never to blame no matter what. Just for fun, I’ve included a clip of McCain saying her dad’s name for a full minute. Below that, you’ll see McCain on Malice’s podcast. Enjoy!
