McCain book shares why she left 'toxic' times at 'The View' [View all]
Meghan McCain says she decided to leave “The View” following her second day back from maternity leave in January
when Joy Behar said “I did not miss you” during a political argument. McCain, who left this summer after four years as the daytime talk show’s conservative voice, told that and other backstage stories in a new book, “Bad Republican,” and subsequent interview with Variety.
During the Jan. 5 show, McCain interrupted Behar to say “are you kidding me?” when her colleague said the Republican Party is in more trouble than the Democrats. Behar was clearly angered, saying, “excuse me, am I done? I’m not done.”
McCain pressed on with her response, and Behar referenced the interruption again when she was finished.
“You missed me so much, Joy,” McCain replied. “You missed me so much when I was on maternity leave ... You missed fighting with me.”
Behar replied: “I did not. I did not miss you. Zero.”
McCain was heard saying, “that’s so nasty. I was teasing because you said something rude.
That was so rude.” In her book,
McCain said she burst into tears during a commercial break. At the end of the show,
she began crying again and vomited, she wrote. McCain said she had asked the show’s producers for an apology from Joy Behar but was told none would be forthcoming.
