‘I Felt Like I Was Losing My Mind’: After Meghan McCain Slammed Ana Navarro’s Comments On The View, She Opened Up About Her Experience
McCain was going through it.
It’s no secret now that Meghan McCain parted ways with The View after four years on bad terms. The political author has shared her opinion of ABC’s popular daytime talk show several times over the years for the toxic work environment she experienced and the way the co-hosts have continued to “demonize her” since she left. After tensions were raised again regarding a comment on the show from Ana Navarro, McCain gave more insight into her experience on The View.
Meghan McCain slammed Ana Navarro’s recent musing that The View co-hosts have used their relatives’ names to “influence-peddle.” While Navarro didn’t name any names, the daughter of the late U.S. Sen. John McCain took the comment as a direct attack against her, even threatening legal action. In an episode of The Janice Dean Podcast released December 17, McCain spoke more about how her circumstances impacted her negative experience on The View. She said:
In addition to dealing with what was happening with her father, she also had her own health to think about. She said:
Meghan McCain has spoken out over the past couple of years about what she endured, as she was at the time the only conservative voice among The View’s co-hosts. She has spoken about rumors being leaked to the media about her, and since she left she said she is continuously bashed by her former colleagues. She continued:
Meghan McCain said she just wants to move on, which is exactly what she said in response to Ana Navarro’s “influence-peddle” comments, accusing those on The View of continuing to “slander me on an almost weekly basis.”
Neither Ana Navarro nor any of the other co-hosts appear to have responded to McCain’s most recent comments, but you can tune in to The View weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC to see what hot topics they are covering.
