Meghan McCain rips ‘The View’ after Sunny Hostin’s meltdown over Trump win: ‘Insane asylum’
· New York PostMeghan McCain has some choice words about her old workplace.
The outspoken Republican — whose father John McCain ran for president in 2008 — has ripped “The View” online, slamming her former co-workers for their reactions to Donald Trump’s election win.
McCain, 40, served as the ABC talk show’s conservative co-host from 2017- 2021 before leaving the program amid allegations of a toxic work environment.
However, that hasn’t stopped fans from sending the outspoken blond segments from the show — and she’s not happy about it.
“Respectfully, please stop sending me clips from ‘The View,'” McCain wrote on X Friday. “It’s a radical progressive insane asylum and that is why I left years ago.”
Her comments come after several segments from the show went viral. The clips showed hosts including Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg struggling to come to terms with Trump’s win.
One widely-shared video featured Hostin blaming “uneducated white women” for Kamala Harris’ election loss.
“I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country.”
Hostin faulted white women and Latino men for Trump’s victory, and claimed the vice president ran a “flawless campaign.”
“Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated white women is my understanding. You have Latino men actually, voting more for him,” Hostin opined.
“So why do you think uneducated white women voting against their reproductive health freedoms, and why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone who is going to deport a majority of his community,” the co-host asked.
Hostin later corrected herself to say the term she should have used was “non college-educated white women.”
