Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t having any of Meghan McCain‘s obnoxious entitled behavior on The View this morning after she demanded to speak to the manager know why she was being cut off to go to a commercial break.
The women were in the middle of talking about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s recent comments in which she compared House members being required to wear masks on the chamber floor to Nazis making Jewish people wear gold stars as they ordered them into gas chambers.
“We can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens,” Greene said, “so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”
Most people would agree that Greene’s anti-Semitic remarks were completely reprehensible. But not Meghan McCain. She argued that Democrats can be just as anti-Semitic and so people need to stop singling out Greene.
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.
Eventually, Goldberg, clearly annoyed, announced that they needed to go to a commercial, which sent McCain flying into a rage. She demanded to know why she was being silenced. And that’s when things got really dramatic.
Watch.

Add commercial breaks to the list of things–alongside nepotism, hairstyles, and human decency–that Meghan McCain doesn’t seem to comprehend.
And now, the responses…
Whoopi said not today Meghan ??… #theview

Dear @TheView: Whoopi has had it with Meghan McCain. Joy has had it with Meghan McCain. Sunny has had it with Meghan McCain. Sara has had it with Meghan McCain. Your audience has had it with Meghan McCain. When will you get the memo? #TheView

It’s only Monday and Meghan McCain is already back to being intolerable. I’m waiting for Ana Navarro to be a permanent host to replace her. #TheView pic.twitter.com/81SL58H3aT

The View can’t keep minimizing Meghan McCain’s racism and intellectual dishonest. Today’s exchange actually made me ill. It’s time for her to go. #TheView

Having different opinions is fine. Acting like you own the stage & are better than everyone else AND disrespecting your coworkers & viewers is not. Period. Full stop! #Whoopi #TheView #MeghanMcCain

Marge is such an idiot. “second class citizens” No. They were not treated as citizens at all. Furthermore, gold stars were intended to make it easier to murder an entire population of people; masks are intended to save an entire population of people. Wearing a mask to go to a grocery store where food is plentiful and cheap is not equivalent to being forcibly taken to a concentration camp, undergoing starvation, and being killed.
Max
clearly you can hear the exasperated sigh from Whoopi. she had it with Meghan, the immature child that never listens.
McCain was doing the classic when there’s a Republican fault, make sure you pivot to stating some sort of Democrat problem. clearly you can see her husband’s influence growing stronger too. on top of it, she makes sure she is disrespectful by not stopping in her rant and talking back.
her diatribe is getting worse. one could easily say she should be removed from the show for the same reason Majorie Taylor Greene should be expelled from Congress.
Liquid Silver
They keep her for the drama. You cover the drama. Both of you make money off the drama. Therefore…
MissTerri
Where would we be without this Hard Hitting Journalism!!!!
Cam
Translation: The right wing troll account desperately trying to deflect from Republican bigotry and hate.
Den
So where exactly does Queerty make any claim to be “hard hitting journalism”, child? It is a blog geared towards entertainment and mildly progressive LGBT views, as is obvious to anyone who actually uses their brain. Dull and pointless comments (and you have more than a reasonable share under your belt) just make a person a laughingstock. Is that your goal?
Mr. Stadnick
I sincerely hope that you were being facetious about hard hitting journalism. If you were serious I think you might want to enroll in an entry level journalism class. Ms McCain has the depth of a teaspoon and as for this website it isn’t journalism at all; it is cut and paste twitter captures.
mailliw110
Russia…where you are.
Cam
Meghan McCain uses her massive trust fund to help fund her husband’s rabidly anti-LGBTQ bigoted website.
No surprise that she would try to defend Republican anti-semitism.
MissTerri
REEEEEEE!!
Cam
@MissTerri
Getting desperate I see. You are more than welcome to dispute any of my points……but that’s right, if you could do that, you wouldn’t have just written your laughable comment.
So I’ll repeat it, Meghan McCain, who bought her first house as a teen with the millions she inherited helps fun a bigoted anti-LGBTQ site run by her husband, and was on the view frantically defending anti-Semitic comments by another Republican. Also, the entire Republican party refuses to speak out against these anti-Semitic comments, apparently because they agree with them.
Selverd
Meghan called Greene a “crazy woman,” this article is being misleading if it was trying to imply she was defending her.
Cam
@Selverd
No it isn’t. What meghan is doing is the fake out, the “Oh, I don’t agree with her but…….” and then goes on a rant about Democrats to deflect attention from the Republican bigot;
Selverd
She’s saying antisemitism is a problem on both the right and the left. Like it’s kind of hypocritical to just go after Greene and ignore all the Jewish people getting attacked by Palestine supporters right now.
Fahd
Saying anything in defense of MT Greene’s stupid remarks is reprehensible.
The View can do better than Meghan, and they should. Contract non-renewal time is coming up – can’t wait.
dhmonarch89
part of the reason I don’t watch the View is that they go to commercial after 3-4 minutes of show every segment… Meaghan should know they go to commercial before you blink- she’s an irrational idiot! Ratings were up when she was away on maternity leave (god help that poor child), she needs to go!
shva08
Mr. Gremore writes that McCain went into a “flying rage.” I must have missed that part.
cuteguy
Such an entitled c*nt. I think Meghan is doing this on purpose for attention
Terrycloth
Tired of Meghan .kick her to the curb make Anna Navarro permanent panelist replacing Meghan
BaltoSteve
Such an entitled Princess. Why do they have to go to commercial? Because all those people behind the camera who don’t have family money to fall back on want to get paid!
Sqwoah
The View is insufferable….just a bunch of chickens clucking at each other…..just how the producers want it to be.
MHaumesser
I watched the View for almost 20 years but I stopped watching it when I realized it had morphed from an entertainment show where they talked about movies with actors and books with authors with a smattering of governmental issues to a show devoted almost entirely to governmental issues! After living through Star Jones and Elisabeth Hasselbeck I just couldn’t handle Meghan McCain!
twomen4u
Glad Whoopi was in charge to put a stop to Megan’s mouth. There is an old adage, “please engage brain before opening mouth.”
BoomerMyles
Why don’t any of the cohosts confront her of shilling her extreme right-wing husband’s website talking points.
That and she also funds it.
Caddy4J
They can cancel The View for all I care. Stopped watching the show years ago because of continuous infighting that goes on. They have let go some really good hosts in the past because their views were not the same as the shareholders, new Mgmt., etc: after Barbara sold the show and brought back Negative Joy, the show went to hell. Bringing Ana will spew more hatred as she’s just as spiteful and loud mouthed as Joy. Never liked her on CNN either.
Cam
I recognized your name as one of the right wing troll screenames. Then the first part of your comment seemed rational. But I knew you couldn’t hold it together, you trolls just can’t resist going after Joy and Ana. One a liberal that Republicans hate because they think she’s Jewish, and the other, a Republican who calls out the current racism in the party.
You thought you were being slick.
mailliw110
So why are you here?
Tombear
Meagans make up and hair are done by a gay man. He doesn’t like her! #GOPbetrayedAmerica
