Meghan has her own thoughts on the co-hosts who took her place on “The View.”
After McCain’s departure from the talk show at the end of Season 24, she was replaced by Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.
“It took a year and two people to replace me which makes me feel good, and I get to take that,” she said on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show.
When Cohen, 54, inquired if she knew Farah Griffin or had any ideas, the former talk show host shot back at the Trump administration’s family.
“I don’t know her at all. The only thing I know about her is her family,” McCain stated. “She comes from an extremely, extremely controversial background.
“Her dad is a very famous homophobe and racist who started birtherism,” she said. “He’s actually the person that invented Obama’s birtherism. So that’s what I know about her, and that’s not necessarily a reflection of her.”
She did not want to be in the same social circles as Farah Griffin, 33, because of her family’s “very, very known in political circles because of his extremism.” McCain claimed.
McCain, on the other hand, said that despite her own criticism from Sherri Shepherd, she didn’t want to say anything “negative.”
“I don’t want to say anything negative about someone who’s doing that job right now,” she added. “I swore I would never do, quite frankly, what Sherri just did to me.”
On “Watch What Happens Live,” another former co-host on “The View,” Shepherd, mocked John McCain. Cohen queried Shepherd about which former co-host she was closest to during their time on the morning talk show.: “Just everybody — not Meghan — but everybody else.” Shepherd responded.
McCain responded to Shepherd’s interview by saying: “I don’t know Sherri Shepherd. She was on the show, like, 15 years before me when I was in high school. So I don’t know why anyone’s under the impression that we’re close friends. I think she has a new show coming out. She’s looking for publicity. A really easy way to get publicity is to try and fight with me.”
McCain finished her comments on Farah Griffin by wishing her “the best of luck” in a difficult profession that will only “going to get harder when midterms come.”
