Meghan McCain, the conservative darling and former host of the liberal gabfest known as The View, is firing back at her former co-hosts for what she claims are ongoing attacks even after her departure from the program. The outspoken McCain took to the land of social media, also known as X (formerly known as Twitter), to air her grievances with her ex-colleagues.

The firestorm began when host Ana Navarro made a comment on the show about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and those who “peddle” on their last name. Navarro insinuated that Hunter Biden engaged in “influence peddling,” and then suggested that “people sitting at this table” also did the same. This comment left the other co-hosts scratching their heads, causing confusion and a muddled mess on the set.
McCain, not one to shy away from a battle, swiftly fired back on X, proclaiming that she has been unfairly targeted by her former co-hosts and accused of things she adamantly denies. She made it abundantly clear that she has never been accused of a crime and pointed out that she is a proud American who would never engage in such shady behavior, especially with foreign adversaries. In response to the barbs thrown her way, McCain even went as far as to threaten legal action, vowing to consult her team of lawyers to combat the defamation she felt had been hurled at her.
The conservative firebrand made it crystal clear that she takes any insinuations of criminal activity seriously, especially coming from a news program like The View, which is categorized under the ABC News umbrella. This isn’t just any old talk show drama; this is a battle for McCain’s reputation, and she’s not about to let it slide. She wants everyone to know that all the accusations against her are absurd, defamatory, and downright slanderous.
In the midst of the chaos, McCain also declared that she would be parting ways with The View in July 2021, with Alyssa Farah Griffin stepping in to fill her conservative shoes. It seems the drama may have been brewing for a while, and McCain finally decided it was time to bid adieu to the liberal lion’s den of The View.
As the dust settles on this latest feud, it appears that Meghan McCain is not one to be trifled with, and she’s not about to let anyone tarnish her good name without a fight. The conservative world anxiously awaits to see how this showdown will unfold, with tensions running high and the drama meter off the charts. Stay tuned, folks! This is one reality show that’s bound to have more twists and turns than a rollercoaster at Six Flags.
