The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg reprimanded conservative co-host Meghan McCain for her nonstop interruptions on Monday’s episode, the latest in a string of recent on-air run-ins between McCain and her View co-hosts.
The on-air blow-up started with an exchange between co-host Sunny Hostin and McCain, as they were debating Lindsay Graham’s recent announcement that he’d already made up his mind to vote against Donald Trump’s impeachment even prior to an impeachment trial.
When Hostin remarked on the differences between Trump’s impeachment and Bill Clinton’s impeachment, McCain interjected to say “my job here is not to litigate the ethics of it. I’m an ABC political analyst along with being a View co-host, my job is to analyze the politics of it…”
Hostin and McCain proceeded to talk over each other, with McCain eventually groaning “do you want to hear a conservative perspective on the show ever?”
At that point, Goldberg went off and said “Girl, please stop talking right now!”
“No problem,” McCain responded. “I won’t talk the rest of the show.”
“I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that,” Goldberg replied, with audible gasps heard coming from the audience. “If you’re gonna behave like this…”
“I’m not behaving like anything,” McCain responded. “I’m here to show a conservative perspective…She won’t let me talk.”
“You are talking over [people]” said Goldberg, before giving up and tossing to a commercial break.
After the show ended, McCain took to Twitter to defend her anti-impeachment analysis:
Dems and Rs alike need to confront the ugly truth: both parties are failing to be impartial jurors. I won’t be quiet, even if the reality reflects poorly on the entire political establishment. I have a responsibility to speak for the 50% that feels media doesn’t represent them.

Pointing out things that are true is part of my job even if it angers people and even if it’s politically inconvenient. https://t.co/HbHRQdATJ3
