AceShowbiz - Meghan McCain, the former conservative co-host of ABC's "The View," voiced her strong opinions against the talk show and its handling of political commentary post-Donald Trump's election victory. McCain, who was a part of the show from 2017 until her departure in 2021 amid controversy over a "toxic work environment," did not mince her words.

"Respectfully, please stop sending me clips from 'The View,' " she wrote on X, branding the show as a "radical progressive insane asylum" as the reason for her departure.

Her outburst comes as other co-hosts, like Sunny Hostin, have struggled to grapple with Trump's rise to power. Hostin attributed Trump's victory to "uneducated white women" and Latino men, suggesting that these groups were undermining their own interests by voting for Trump.

Furthermore, McCain criticized ABC for failing to include conservative women who could provide valuable insight into Trump's continued popularity. "It is actual malfeasance on the part of ABC News that there isn't one single conservative woman on The View this morning who voted for Trump or simply isn't repulsed by his supporters to explain to America why he is still so popular," she stated.

This lack of conservative representation, according to McCain, leaves a significant gap in understanding the perspectives of a sizeable segment of the American electorate.

The reaction from the current hosts has been mixed yet vehement. Alyssa Farah Griffin, another conservative voice on the show, has pushed for more understanding and dialogue, urging the left to "take a moment to listen" to Trump supporters.

Griffin emphasized the importance of recognizing the valid concerns of rural and working-class Americans who feel alienated by current politics. "We forget about rural America. I think the working class feels left behind. They feel like the powerful, the elite, only care about them and their power," she remarked.

This ongoing debate brings to light the fractures and tensions within "The View" as it navigates its political identity in a polarized America. While McCain's recent comments reveal deep-seated frustrations, they also echo a broader call for more inclusive and balanced political discourse on mainstream platforms.
