Meghan McCain spoke out about her former colleagues on The View, accusing them of relentlessly tormenting her after she left the ABC talk show in 2021.

“The thing about The View is that I didn’t know when I signed my contract with ABC that this is forever, that, for the rest of my life, I’m going to be bullied, yelled at, abused, and brought up for years,” McCain said in a Wednesday interview on Michael Malice’s podcast Your Welcome.

“I haven’t been on that show in years,” McCain said. “I’m just trying to live my life.”

“I just didn’t know that when I signed to do this show that I have to deal with these crazy old people just yelling about me all of the time,” she added. “I go whole swaths of time without thinking about them, whole months without thinking about the show or anything. Apparently, I’m just on their minds every day. And it’s pathetic.”

The latest spat between John McCain’s daughter and the hosts of The View came after co-host Ana Navarro appeared to take a dig at the Arizona scion for profiting off her family name.

During a recent segment on The View about President Joe Biden and the allegations against his son Hunter, Navarro said: “Look, did Hunter Biden influence-peddle on his last

name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington. People sitting at this table did it!

When Navarro was asked who she was referring to, she said, “I’m not talking about currently.”

The apparent dig sparked McCain’s wrath.

“I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” she wrote on X in response, adding she was reaching out to her lawyers about Navarro’s comments.

“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 ‘influenced peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries,” she continued. “Not all politicians children are the same – and I am no Hunter Biden. All accusations are absurd, defamatory and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.”

On Malice’s podcast, McCain dismissed her host’s quip that the show is a “psy-op” to encourage Americans to repeal the right of women to vote.

“I honestly don’t think that, just from working there, that they’re that smart. It’s a very disorganized place backstage. It’s very chaotic, I think that’s giving people that work there a lot of credit that they shouldn’t have. It’s

kind of a rigged show,” McCain said. “At night, all the hosts are given Hot Topics to choose from, you’re sent news articles you want to talk about the next day. Whatever the majority chooses is the topic of the show. Anything that makes Democrats look bad is never chosen. I had to go in every morning being like, ‘Hey, whatever news story that makes Biden look bad is the number one news story of the day,’ and there would be a fight over whether or not it should even be aired because the hosts didn’t agree on it. That was always a battle every day.”
