This just in: Meghan McCain is officially done at The View.
That’s right, folx. John McCain’s daughter is quitting the show with two years still left on her contract because, well, it’s been pretty obvious for a while now that she’s “over it,” as she likes to say, and that she hates all the other co-hosts.
According to the Daily Mail, McCain plans to make the big announcement on today’s show.
“We have tried to keep her, but she is adamant that now is the right time for her to leave,” an insider says. “She will finish at the end of July 2021.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Since joining the show in 2017, McCain has frequently flaunted her privilege sparred with her colleagues while constantly invoking her father, who was John McCain, in case anyone forgot. Over the past several months, however, the sparring has veered away from thoughtful discussions and into some pretty toxic personal attacks.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to McCain’s sudden departure…

Meghan McCain is leaving The View which is great news for anyone fighting disinformation bc all she does is recycle talking points from OAN and the Federalist Society to manipulate viewers. Abortion is NOT murder. Kneeling is NOT unpatriotic. Universal healthcare is NOT radical.

Meghan McCain is reportedly quitting her job at The View. I'm not surprised, but I'm happy for Whoopi & Joy. Those poor women were about to have permanent nerve damage from all the eye rolling they did anytime Meghan opened her mouth.
Bye bye snowflake! ????

The View that Meghan McCain has is one we no longer have to see.

““We have tried to keep her, but she is adamant that now is the right time for her to leave,” an insider says.”
And That “Insider” is Meghan’s publicist.
When ratings went up whenever Meghan was off the air I had a feeling this would happen sooner or later.
Bengali
Makes sense though because viewer base is probably 85% Dems and non-Repukelicans. I am so happy to see her go. I wish someone would tell her it’s not necessary to stay until end of July. Let tomorrow be her last day.
Hdtex
She’s merely life support for a vagina and hair extensions.
jcool
now that her husband is getting a regular check from fox propaganda she can afford to just look ugly at home with no cameras
Fahd
Yes, it’s true. Alas, she’s going to stay for another month.
But as they say in church, Today is a day for rejoicing. Oh happy day!
The final part of her little good bye speech today was about all the misogyny directed at the show (her). Ever the victim! Yes, I suppose no one has been treated more unfairly than she. (Can’t they just make it effective today and pay her out?) The other women responded to her departure announcement with brief, platitudinous remarks Awkward.
She will be missed, but not by me.
skyboy63
S.E Cupp, please .
MissTerri
Guess the Silly Queens here will have to start copy pasting about someone else now! Hi-LAR-ious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve9999
We’ll always have you to make fun of.
Cam
Awwww, nothing enrages the right wing troll like another bigot getting what they deserve.
Sorry precious, one less propaganda mouthpiece. Now THAT’s Hilarious.
Liquid Silver
They’ll just find another mouthpiece and pay her well to spout the same crap. Controversy and argument keeps that show alive.
Well, according to Family Guy, it’s the laying of eggs, but I’m not sure I believe that.
tjack47
S.E. Cupp is ideal to me too. I tried to let McCain have that equal time, and at least she wasn’t one of the pandering GOP women they’ve had in the past who let everyone else step all over her. I’m over her RBF, tantrums, hissy fits and name dropping. I don’t care at all about her hair, etc. After all, Log Cabin Republicans do her hair.
Terrycloth
Take no prisoners tell it like it is Ana Navarro will and should be a permanent table guest…love her.
She takes no BS…either that or they will find another blonde with the same ideas but with a different face
SoloMcDaniel
When Trump was in office, I didn’t mind her. I didn’t agree with much she said, but she always explained herself and cited facts to back up her position. However, once Biden came into office and she returned from maternity leave, she was off the rails. She looked pissed off constantly and would cut people off and be dismissive. Plus she would never stay on topic and switch to things she personally wanted to talk about. I’m all for having voices from all sides on the panel but not if they’re going to be angry and dismissive all the time.
BoomerMyles
She was the queen of Whataboutism.
Also she rallied against identity politics but used it in all her arguments against Dem politics.
wolfman6
Good riddance!
twomen4u
Just one thing, it is about time.
ARTmark
As punishment for breaking her contract, she must keep her hairdresser for the rest of her life…..
Caddy4J
The show is trash, class left the show when Barbra Walters retired and sold her share. It’s not the View any longer, it’s ABC’s view, their just puppets. Stopped watching years ago, way before they brought negative Joy back. Ana Navarro? Soon Joy and her will be fighting as to who can be the most negative with those cackling hag voices.
Bengali
“They’re”
jcool
thank you. spelling counts.
Cam
Hey Miss Terri,
You keep trying to hide behind these old screenames and think nobody will notice that you’re trying to deflect off the fact that McCain is having to exit with 2 years still left on her contract.
Your Troll Game is Sad and Weak.
Wheelerman
No one voluntarily “leaves” The View. She was fired.
Bengali
Not 100% true. Abbey Huntsman left voluntarily to work on her father’s campaign…WHICH HE LOST. I would love if she came back. While I’m 100% Democrat, I appreciated Abbey’s non-OAN/NewsMax viewpoints. Meghan couldn’t even get along with her.
U-N-I-T-Y
If you can’t EVER say anything nice or kind… Shut up! Bye Megan with your “wannabe ethnic hairstyles” Oh my, shutting up now.
jkb
A+ for article title. Lol
Phillip
Glad to see her come to her senses.
No one liked her including the audience, so perhaps even she was able to read the “writing on the wall.”
BoomerMyles
She was FIRED!
winemaker
No big loss really as all these always on the rag obnoxious and nasty old bitches do nothing but kvetch about anything conservative. That being said, why is this bitch fest still on the air? Really it’s nothing but a waste of an hour of valuable time and intelligence.
Cam
Translation: Meghan will no longer be on it, so it will be a much better show.
Heywood Jablowme
winefaker! Why haven’t you commented yet on the latest Caitlyn Jenner idea about dumping the Calif. homeless out in fields?
ScottOnEarth
The “BYE!” heard ’round the world.
Invader7
Good. Maybe she’ll fade away.. Never watched that tired show. A bunch of women talking over each other. A headache inducing concept..
JohnnyBoy2
The need a conservative voice to bring balance to the discussion. Why can’t they find someone that is not an obnoxious, self-important freak?
Minerva Pomerantz
Sorry to inform you, but Meggy and her fat-faced college-dropout fake-intellectual husband are destined for their own Fox show where they can make O’Reilly/Carlson type of cash. But at least she is off The View.
Unlikely
Now, we’ll never learn who her father is.
