“Respectfully, please stop sending me clips from The View,” McCain posted on Elon Musk’s X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. “It’s a radical progressive insane asylum and that is why I left years ago.”

This is the second post McCain dedicates to The View in less than a week. Following the 2024 presidential election results, she called out ABC for not having a Republican co-host that voted for Donald Trump.

“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,” McCain posted on X on November 6.

Alyssa Farah Griffin is the show’s resident conservative voice, who worked for the Trump administration during his first term in office. Ahead of the election, Griffin said she had cast her vote for Kamala Harris but would vote for the Republican Party representatives down the ballot.

McCain herself said she would never vote for Trump due to his comments about her father, the late Senator John McCain.

McCain’s latest swipe at The View came after a heated debate on the show about the election results. The show has been having tough conversations about why Americans elected Trump for a second term.

Sunny Hostin and Sarah Haines, who both backed Harris, debated to try to understand the results.

“I think the more relevant question actually is, ‘What is wrong with America?” Hostin said. “What is wrong with our country that the Republican Party would choose as a candidate and support a candidate who is an insurrectionist, who is an election denier, who is someone who is a twice impeached, 34 time convicted felon, someone who has been accused of alleged sexual misconduct by 26 women, found liable for sexual abuse. What is wrong with this country that they would choose a message of divisiveness, of xenophobia, of racism, of misogyny, over a message of inclusiveness?’”

Haines noted that she felt the Democrat Party spoke to voters in a “condescending” way, adding that Trump voters “didn’t vote for him because he’s a racist or a misogynist. They voted because they needed help in their everyday lives.”

Despite McCain claiming The View is not trying to explain to viewers why Trump won because all the co-hosts voted for Harris, the show has continued to have the tough conversations that many Americans are also having nationwide.

Trump's tariffs: Don't expect a big reshoring, economist says
President-elect Donald Trump touted his tariff plan on the campaign trail. He says it will cause manufacturing jobs to return to the United States. On the latest episode of Capitol Gains, Oxford Economics U.S. Chief Economist Ryan Sweet joins host Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman to discuss Trump’s tariffs and whether or not they will ramp up manufacturing in the US. “There’s a myth that imposing tariffs is going to eliminate the trade deficit in the US,” Sweet tells the Capitol Gains team. “That’s just not gonna happen.” While some industries have started to move back to the US like microchips, personal protective equipment, pharmaceuticals, and biomedicals, American consumers simply buy much more that is imported than what can be produced domestically. Sweet says what will happen, though, is that tariffs under a second Trump administration will cause businesses to diversify their supply chains instead of bringing "labor intensive" manufacturing to the US. “They’re going to take more and more of their eggs out of China. It’s going to go to Taiwan, Vietnam, Mexico, other parts of Central and South America. You’re gonna bring more supply chains closer to home and I think that is going to be more noticeable than all these manufacturing jobs coming back to the US.” To find out more, listen to the full episode of Capitol Gains here.
