In her 2021 memoir, “Bad Republican,” Meghan McCain spoke candidly about her four-year experience as cohost on “The View.” In addition to tidbits about how her father insisted she accept the cohost position, former President Donald Trump called her during his public attacks on Senator McCain, and her cohosts turned on her, per the Daily Mail, McCain also discussed the people she felt were her least favorite interview guests on the show. (McCain left “The View” to serve as a columnist for the Daily Mail, per Hollywood Life.) The worst guest of all? Fox News pundit, Judge Jeanine Pirro.
“She came on the show and told us we all had Trump Derangement Syndrome, and when we pushed back, she became instantly enraged,” McCain said (via the Daily Mail) of the Fox personality’s July 2018 appearance. McCain said Pirro threw her microphone at her, and told Whoopi Goldberg that Pirro had done more for Black women than Goldberg ever had. McCain recounted that she “heard Whoopi yelling at her to get the hell out of the building.” Pirro also apparently used one expletive repeatedly. “Who says c**ksucker, much less shouts it 1,000 times?,” McCain asked. “It’s the dumbest word.”

McCain said Pirro also discussed the taping that evening on Sean Hannity’s show, saying Pirro “recalled the episode as if she’d been an innocent victim and Whoopi was insane,” she said. “I yelled at my TV when I saw that.”
