‘The View’ Snubs Meghan McCain While Applauding Her Brother
Jimmy McCain received heaps of praise from the hosts of The View on Wednesday, but they seemed to have completely forgotten about their one-time colleauge who happens to be his sister.
The hosts opened Wednesday’s show by hailing the late Arizona senator John McCain’s son, calling him “honorable” and “incredibly impressive” for denouncing Donald Trump in a new interview with CNN—and even though they’d evoked “the McCain family” in their praise, they left out the member they know best, former View co-host Meghan McCain.
“[For] a McCain [being] a Republican is such a deeply Republican tradition,” Haines said. “For him to stand up” and switch parties, she continued, “it gives someone permission to” reconsider what the party is doing. Meghan McCain, on the other hand, was not held up as shining family example in the same way, as she left the show in 2021 amid feuds with the other hosts.
