For second week in a row Meghan McCain claims The View is obsessed with her
For a second week in a row, former co-host of "The View" Meghan McCain complained about something Ana Navarro said during a pre-Christmas appearance on the show.
The discussion earlier this month was about Hunter Biden and the way some people use their name for "influence-peddling."
"So did half of Washington," said Navarro. "People sitting at this table did it."
The co-hosts looked confused and disputed the claim that they "made it" because of their names. Alyssa Farah Griffin asked for clarification, and Navarro said she wasn't talking about people at the table "currently."
McCain immediately threatened to sue the show, though her name wasn't actually mentioned.
In the week that followed, and as "The View" went on its holiday break, McCain again attacked the show for being obsessed with her.
Now, two weeks after the incident, McCain is continuing to make the same claims, and attacked the show again late Wednesday while promising she's not hung up on it.
Appearing on Michael Malice’s Your Welcome podcast, McCain whined that since she quit the show, she has constantly come under fire.

“I can’t go like a week without something being said about me on the show,” she claimed falsely.
“The thing about The View is that I didn’t know when I signed my contract with ABC that this is forever,” she said. “That, for the rest of my life, I’m going to be bullied, and yelled at, and abused, and brought up for years. I haven’t been on that show in years. I’m just trying to live my life.”
After leaving the show, McCain took to writing columns for the tabloid site The Daily Mail and has largely been ignored. The gig recently ended.
“I just didn’t know that when I signed on to do this show that I have to deal with these crazy old people just yelling about me all of the time," said the 39-year-old.
"I go whole swaths of time without thinking about them, like whole months without thinking about the show or anything.”
Her claim that she doesn't think about them for months flies in the face of her comment that she is attacked by them weekly and hears about being attacked weekly.
“And, apparently, I am just on their minds every day. And it’s pathetic," she said.
McCain served as the blogger on her father Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)'s 2008 campaign for president and parlayed that into a media career, including as a commentator and co-host on Fox networks.
She was ultimately added to "The View" in 2017. Her relationship with her co-hosts became contentious over time as she frequently assumed that every debate or fact-check was a political attackagainst conservatives or, more directly, about her.
McCain published a tell-all book trashing the show.
When Navarro made the comment, McCain quickly took to social media: "I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis. It has been years — move on, I have. I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American — I would never and have never ‘influence peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries. Not all politicians’ children are the same — and I am no Hunter Biden."
