Meghan McCain Slams Former Cohosts On ‘The View’ For Obsessing About Her: ‘These Women Will Never Quit Me’

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain invoked a famous quote from the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain while criticizing her former co-hosts on The View.

McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, took aim at Sara Haines in a tweet Thursday. It came after a fan posted a clip of Haines referencing an unnamed past View personality who got “mad about Dr. Fauci” during a discussion about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s criticism of the former Covid-19 adviser.

In the clip, Haines and current View cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin reacted to Greene’s criticism of Fauci during a chat about decorum in domestic politics.

“It started, I remember, here, with someone here, getting so mad about Dr. Fauci. It felt like it happened overnight. We went from a pandemic…” Haines said, without explicitly using McCain’s name, later trailing off to address Behar’s apparent confusion over the reference, before Haines re-stressed: “Someone here.”

“F— Fauci. These women will never quit me,” McCain tweeted, echoing a line from the Oscar-winning gay romance starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as cowboys who pursue a secret love affair.

McCain, who left The View in 2021 after four seasons, has frequently criticized the show since her exit. In December, she called the current hosts “crazy old people just yelling about me all of the time.”

Her latest broadside also took a swipe at Covid-19 restrictions, saying she was unsurprised people didn’t want “their kids masked, vaccinated with an untested vaccine or to have our families isolated.”

McCain announced she was considering legal action against The View in December after panelist Ana Navarro suggested unnamed co-hosts had attempted to “influence-peddle” on their famous last names, which McCain took as a dig.
