Meghan McCain Calls Out ‘The View’ for Not Having ‘Conservative Women’ on Panel

Meghan McCain called out “The View” for not having a panelist who voted for President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

“It is actual malfeasance on the part of ABC news that there isn’t one single conservative woman on The View this morning who voted for Trump or simply isn’t repulsed by his supporters to explain to America why he is still so popular,” she wrote on X Wednesday.

A rep for “The View” did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

McCain, who is the daughter of late Sen. John McCain, was a co-host on the talk show from 2017 to 2021 alongside Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines, all of whom still sit on the current panel with Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Despite being a Republican for more than 15 years, Meghan has been critical of Trump’s policies — and declared that she would not be voting for him or Vice President Kamala Harris this year.

“I greatly respect the wide variety of political opinions of all of my family members and love them all very much,” she wrote on X in September. “I however, remain a proud member of the Republican Party and hope for brighter days ahead. (Not voting for Harris or Trump, hope that clears things up).”

After Meghan, 40, left “The View,” the network replaced her with Griffin, a lifelong Republican who worked in Trump’s administration in 2020 during his first presidency.

However, Griffin, 35, was critical of Trump’s latest run for the White House, revealing in Tuesday’s episode of the show that she had voted for Harris.

“For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat,” she announced. “I voted for Kamala Harris.”

Griffin, who shared that she voted for Republicans elsewhere on the ballot, chose Harris, 60, for her “values” as a “kind and decent person who will bring this country together” — despite not agreeing with “a lot of her policies.”

The rest of the “View” co-hosts told viewers that they had also cast their ballots for the veep.

After Trump won the election early Wednesday, Griffin acknowledged it was time to take “a moment to listen to the voters” and learn “some lessons.”

“What is important to me is this: Tens of millions — our friends, our neighbors, our family members — voted for Donald Trump,” she said. “We disagree with him, but they are good, decent people who are patriots, who love this country. … It is a moment for us to listen to each other and hear each other express what our concerns are.”

Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote, including the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Meghan has long been critical of her former co-hosts, even once calling them “crazy old people” who are “just yelling about me all the time.”

As a result, the “Citizen McCain” podcast host has said there is “not a chance in hell” she would be asked to return to “The View” — or want to.

“I don’t talk to any of the main co-hosts that I was with, but I still do have friends that work on the show and people that I made relationships with,” she told Page Six exclusively in May.

Meghan did not divulge who she keeps in touch with because she does not “want them to get bullied for still being [her] friend.”

“I actually have some interesting relationships with co-hosts that were on the show that weren’t on my seasons,” she shared, naming Rosie O’Donnell, Jenny McCarthy and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

When Meghan departed the New York-based series in 2021, she said she wanted to focus on other ventures and move her family to Washington, DC. However, she later claimed she did “not feel supported” upon returning from maternity leave earlier that year.

“I finally went back to the show, and the day I went back to the show, Joy Behar said on air, ‘Nobody missed you, we didn’t miss you, you shouldn’t have come back,’” McCain recalled in a 2022 interview on “The Commentary Magazine Podcast.”

“And I just … I started hysterically crying. Sorry gentlemen, I know, I started lactating on air, and I started crying.”

Meghan recalled running back to her office and throwing up before her brother convinced her to exit the show.

“I didn’t feel supported when I had my baby, and I didn’t feel supported coming back, and that was ultimately it,” she said. “That was why I left!”

  1. So who does ‘the five’ , or whatever it’s called, have on the panel as a liberal, or even mainstream democratic view

  2. According to Biden republicans are garbage, besides the View already has enough rotten, smelly garbage.

  3. Megan, as bad as Trump badmouthed your father, the late John McCain would be absolutely horrified by the state this country is in thanks to Joe Biden and VP Harris. I suspect he would have held his nose and voted for Trump simply because, under Trump, this country was in the best place it has been since the Reagan years. He would probably be glad you didn’t vote for Harris, though. All of your former colleagues on The View are nothing but hateful old backstabbing harpies. Why would you think you would be supported by them?

    1. It wasn’t a tax cut for the rich. It was a tax cut for tax payers, on a percentage basis. The lower and middle classes did better than the upper class because of provisions that kept them from claiming exemption for all their taxes paid in places like NYC. Again, don’t believe everything you read in the media.

  4. The View is horribly one-sided on political views. They put one lone Conservative on the panel and then proceed to gang up on her to the point it is disgraceful. This is what ABC calls informative entertainment and call it wrong on so many levels!!

  5. The View should be canceled as it is a mouth piece for the Commiecrats who have tried to destroy this country by every means possible. ANTIFA,BLM, the uberliberal morons who pushed DEI.
    It is said that America has a pendulum which swings from left to right and pauses then swings back again. It supposedly always has been that way. Now it is swinging right and will for awhile. The length of the swing this time depends on the Republican Congress and the POTUS. If they actually do what they say they will then they will be in power a long time. If they fail and alienate the people who put them in office. They will lose in two years! It behooves them to produce positive results for the masses which will help the average American.

    No tax cuts for the rich like last time. A closed border with strict punishment for illegal aliens. No sanctuary cities! Investigations into supermarket price gouging with jail time for the CEO’s if found they created unreasonable profits for their corporations. End hte war in the Ukraine with a fair peace treaty. Investigate the Biden-Pelosi money which went to the Ukraine. Investigate Fusci and jail him after a trial. Same Myorkis, Wray, and the entire Justice Department. Send the Secret Service back to Treasury away fro the Department of Justice. Fire all the politicized FBI agents and rebuild the FBI,CIA, NSA, BATF. If they do those things they will be in power for at least eight years if not twelve. Fail to do those and they are finished in two.

  6. ABC is so Bias I don’t know why anyone would want to watch ABC .Apublic broadcasting should represent all and try to always be neutral especially in religion and politics.Shame on you ABC

  7. The women on the view are basically what we would call hateful men/pigs. They are horrible and I am still waiting for the damn show to be cancelled! Should not even be called the view it should be called “their views” or “their opinions “ If you don’t agree with them then they bully you, and aren’t we preaching that bullies are wrong?!

    1. Someone with an ounce of brains. Would help too! All airheads on there. Won’t watch except forced in drs office sometimes.
