Meghan McCain Vs. Whoopi Goldberg: Vicious New 'View' Fight Exposed
Feb. 7 2020, Updated 12:04 a.m. ET
Meghan McCain’s ongoing feud with her The View co-hosts continued on Thursday, February 6, as she battled Whoopi Goldberg on air and then turned her fury toward a producer during a commercial break.
The outburst came after Meghan, 35, clapped back at Goldberg after the comedian compared Utah Senator Mitt Romney to the late John McCain.
“With all due respect, Mitt Romney is nothing like my dad,” Meghan snapped.
The bickering intensified when Goldberg, 63, scolded the much-younger Republican opponent: “You're half my age,” Goldberg exclaimed. “So hear what I know!”
“That's very dismissive. I don't understand what my age has to do with my political perspective right now,” Meghan answered. “I just don't think it's very nice.”
When the show cut to commercial, a visibly shaken McCain had a heated conversation with a producer.
“There was definite tension on the set,” a source told The Daily Mail. “Meghan looked like she was ready to walk off the set.”
The tensions remained high until Goldberg approached Meghan to patch things up before the show returned, but even after the ladies sat back down at their infamous table, the aftermath of the fight was still evident.
“Meghan barely interacted with the other hosts,” the source said. “It seemed like Meghan felt she was being attacked. I don't think she's going to last much longer.”

Welcome, Meghan

Dad’s Death
During her first year on-air, McCain’s father, former Arizona Senator John McCain, died after a long battle with brain cancer. The host left the show for several weeks to grieve.
‘Unfair Treatment’
In February, 2019, McCain went off on producers after enduring what she claimed was “unfair treatment” from her co-host Joy Behar.
On-Air Argument
The outspoken co-hosts got into an on-air argument during the Feb. 11 episode when Behar led a discussion about Senator Amy Klobuchar’s 2020 presidential bid, and cut off McCain before she could offer her own opinion.
‘Hissy Fit’
“If you’re going to have a hissy fit, we can’t continue,” Behar scolded McCain.
A source dished to RadarOnline.com that the on-air feud left McCain heated and “losing patience.”
Round Two
The ladies lashed out again on April 8, while discussing Kirstjen Nielsen‘s resignation.
I Quit!
The “unhealthy” and “toxic” environment on the show were just two of the reasons Abbie Huntsman left the show in early 2020. Huntsman also may have lost patience with McCain, who become an outcast because of “rude” behavior.
