*Views are still struggling to warm up to Meghan McCain ever since she joined “The View” in October 2017. McCain’s take on certain issues has some folks ready to boycott the show altogether.
Her conservative talking points and on-air temper tantrums have rubbed many viewers the wrong way and they are completely over the way she constantly defends Donald Trump and his rabid base and how she rolls her eyes when her co-hosts disagree with her.
Last week, McCain claimed to know more about poverty because she’s visited and spoken with poor whites in their communities versus long-time co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who actually grew up in poverty.

“Some of this is about race,” McCain argued. “I think we can concede this, but a lot of this is about poverty — which again, seems to be missed in the mainstream media. When you are living in a tiny town in America and your coal mine or steel mine went under, and an opiate addiction is raging in your town, and you can’t pay your insurance and you cannot pay –”
“It sounds like Black people, you know?” Goldberg interjected. ” … I know what you were trying to do. I get it. That’s why I said it with a smile because people — poor people are everywhere. It’s not just whites.”
Following their on-air tiff, several folks took to Twitter to implore the network to boot McCain from the show — or lose viewership.
Below are some of the reactions.
I see Meghan McCain is back to her eye rolling, hair flipping, super nasty demeanor that we have all grown accustomed to. I would love to know an exact date of when they plan to get rid of her, if they even are. She makes the show hard to even watch. #theView

After 20 years I am done watching your show. I cannot stand one more day of watching Meghan McCain throw fits, constantly invoke her father’s name to make her points, bully those who disagree with her, then refuse to see anyone else’s argument. She’s insufferable. #TheView

Ok @TheView. Read these comments. We the viewers like lively discourse. We DO NOT LIKE the condescending sarcasm that pours out of @MeghanMcCain every damn day. She is too immature for this panel & her tantrums, huffing & snarking are tiresome. She need to go #TheView
