‘The View’ Fans Calls for ABC to “Fire Meghan McCain” After Her “Shameful” Comment to Joy Behar
And Whoopi Goldberg has to shut it all Down!
The View cast members Meghan McCain and Joy Behar found themselves in a tense moment on Monday's show.
Meghan told Joy that she had to "listen to her" as part of her job while discussing immigration and Kirstjen Nielsen.
Whoopi Goldberg quickly broke up the spat and begged the co-hosts to "just let folks talk."
This is the third time Meghan and Joy have gotten heated in the past few weeks.
The View co-hosts Meghan McCain and Joy Behar got into another awkward exchange on Monday's show. But, according to View fans, Meghan's comment to Joy more than crossed the line this time, and now they're demanding that ABC take action.
The feud began after Whoopi Goldberg brought up Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's resignation over the weekend (Nielsen became known for her defense of the "zero tolerance" policy at the border that led to family separations). Meghan brought up that, being from the border state of Arizona, immigration is a "crisis" in her eyes and a "hardline issue." She went on to say that "if we sit here and act like it isn't a crisis ... that is a winning ticket for Trump [in 2020]."
Joy jumped in to say that she believes the way to solve the problem is to help the countries and their citizens who are suffering. "Give them a house, give them food, help them, help their families," Joy began. But before Joy could finish, Meghan began talking over her, asking "give a Nicaraguan a house?" and declaring that "we've had a bunch of liberal guests [on the show] who do not want to send in aid at all."
Fed up, Joy told Meghan,"I listened to you, let me just finish." at the 7:12 mark
"Yeah, part of your job is to listen to me," Meghan shot back. The crowd immediately started "ooh"-ing, sensing that there was rising tension between the two.
In response, Whoopi quickly intervened to shut down the argument.
"Here's what's not going to happen today, we're not going to do this. Everybody gets a conversation piece, everybody gets to say their peace," Whoopi declared. "And we don't need to comment, if we don't like what we're hearing. Just let folks talk."
When Whoopi motioned to Joy to finish what she was saying, Joy said she had "forgotten" her point.
Over on Twitter, it's clear that the tense moment did not sit well with View fans watching at home. Many thought Meghan's comment to Joy was "disrespectful," "wrong," and "shameful." Many went as far as saying that Meghan, who joined the The View in October 2017, should "have to go" after her remark.
This marks Joy and Meghan's third spat in recent weeks. In late March, Joy took a dig at Meghan when she basically revealed to everyone that the two fight backstage, making it seem as though she got along with former conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck a lot better. And just last week, Meghan erupted on Joy while talking about presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.
Will things get better between the two co-hosts? If they haven't already made peace behind the cameras!
