Meghan McCain points out The View’s lack of Trump supporters
Meghan McCain called out “The View” Wednesday morning for not having “a single conservative woman” on the show to share their views on the election results.
In onen X message shared on Wednesday morning, the former “View” co-host wrote: “It is a malfeasance on the part of ABC News that there is not a single conservative woman on The View this morning who voted for Trump or is simply not rejected by his supporters to to explain to America why he is still so popular.”
McCain’s statement comes a day after the show’s Election Day episode, in which the show’s only Republican host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, shared that she voted for Kamala Harris. “For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat,” Griffin, a former White House staffer and Donald Trump aide, announced to fellow hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin.
McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, joined “The View” as a co-host in 2017 before announcing her departure after four years in 2021. Since quitting the show, she has been open about how “miserable” the show made it. her, largely due to the incessant fights that would erupt between herself and her more liberal co-hosts as the sole conservative voice on the show.
McCain remained active on social media Wednesday morning after Tuesday’s unexpectedly close race. Donald Trump was officially declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election after claiming victory in Pennsylvania late last night.
In another tweet this morning, McCain wrote: “One thing I have learned during my father’s journey to brain cancer is that at some point you really have to rely on faith and know that everything is in God’s hands. I hope all sides show mercy and that this can be an opportunity to come together as Americans and start healing.”
