What started as a tribute to late president George H.W. Bush ended in an explosive argument between âThe Viewâ co-hosts Joy Behar and Meghan McCain. While the ladies honored the late 41st United States president during their Hot Topics segment, Behar threw shade at current President Donald Trump, which didnât sit well with McCain.
Behar was commending Bushâs support of environmental issues, specifically his signing off on the Clean Air Act amendment in 1990. She added that Trump is âtrying to unravelâ both Bush and Barack Obamaâs environmental efforts before being interrupted by McCain, who said she just wanted to focus on âhonoring a great presidentâ instead of talking about Trump.
The two went back and forth on air, and things got pretty heated before Whoopi Goldberg abruptly cut to commercial. But according to reports, that's when things really went off the rails â and while the ladies' mics were cut off so the audience couldnât hear, Behar apparently continued to rant to producers, threatening to quit if they couldnât âget this b***h under control.â Check out a clip of the on-air moment to the right.
- Of course, this isnât the first time Behar has gotten so upset on air that producers worried sheâd walk off â like she did when Bill OâReilly was featured as a guest. Itâs also not the first time McCain has argued with Behar or her other co-hosts.
- Not only are sources saying that the crew refers to her as âThe Ice Princess,â but they claim that producers have been worried that âthings were becoming combustible againâ following McCainâs hiatus after the death of her father John McCain. Producers even reportedly warned her co-hosts to tread lightly when she first came back from the break.
