‘The View’ is a Complete Sh**show Now That Meghan McCain And Joy Behar Are Feuding Again: “I Did Not Miss You. Zero.”

Say what you will about Meghan McCain, but at least she keeps things interesting. Tuesday morning on The View, the conservative co-host threw down with Joy Behar once again, this time over the tense relationship between different factions in the American political landscape. Back-to-back Meghan vs. Joy fights can only mean one thing: new year, same sh*tshow.

Believe it or not, today’s Hot Topics discussion actually began on a jovial note, with the co-hosts laughing about President Trump’s claim that he hopes Mike Pence will “come through” and overturn the results of the election. Towards the end of the first segment, moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked if the political landscape has developed “a third party” of “Trumpians” who have distanced themselves from traditional conservatives. “Is it the Democrats, the Republicans, and the Trumpians?” she asked. “Ooh, that’s scary.”

After the commercial break, the panel picked up that thread of discussion and ran with it. “Let the Republicans fight amongst themselves. On the one hand, you have the Republicans; on the other, you have the seditionists,” said Joy Behar. “In the Democratic party, you have the progressives versus the moderates, which is de rigueur, as they say … The Republican party is in much more trouble right now.”

“Are you kidding me? You have AOC–” interrupted McCain. “Excuse me! Am I done? I’m not done!” fired back Behar.

When McCain argued that Behar’s point is “completely inaccurate” because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Squad are “coming out very angry, very intensely that Biden hasn’t filled his cabinet with more progressives,” among other perceived slights, things really veered into dramatic territory.

“The idea that there isn’t fighting within the Democratic party, as well –” began McCain. “I was speaking!” replied Behar. “I was speaking! I’m talking about — I’m talking about traitors!”

“You missed me so much, Joy. You missed me so much when I was on maternity leave,” joked the conservative firebrand. “You missed me so much — you missed fighting with me!”

Behar could have left McCain’s remark alone (it was clearly a joke, after all), but she doubled down instead. “I did not miss you,” she said, deadly serious. “Zero.”

“Oh my god. You know what? That’s so nasty!” replied a visibly surprised McCain. “That’s like, so nasty. I was teasing!”

“Guys! Guys! Hold on. Hold on. Everybody stop!” said Goldberg, as McCain continued to complain about Behar’s “rude” outburst. The View‘s moderator attempted to get things back on track by diverting the discussion to Sara Haines, but it didn’t work as planned. “I wanted to ask Meghan if she feels there really is a fracture,” said Haines. “I think Sunny was trying to talk, so you should just ask her,” answered McCain. Awwwwkward.

The stilted discussion continued for a few more minutes — “Let me put you on the right track,” said Goldberg, after McCain said she’d prefer to talk about the Georgia Senate runoffs — until The View  finally went to a commercial.
