They were on the spousal abuse dude in SHITLER's mob - the two+ instances, how he failed at security clearance yet given full access, how could KELLY NOT know, etc.

McCAIN started to give her spin, was going to make spousal abuse a non-partisan topic, saying, "As a Republican I'm offended by..."

And Joy broke in with:

"As a Democrat, *I'm* OFFENDED BY REPUBLICANS!1"

After a minute of back and forth, ALL HADES broke out!1 McCAIN went into her usual not-taking-crap-about-being-a-Repuke thing with the wingnut fury not seen since HASSELHOFF!

Methinks, La Megan ain't long for The View, and THANK YOU JOY FOR EVERYTHING FOR SO LONG!1tr

.... After a heavy sigh, Meghan said, "Well, you're offended by Republicans, so all Republicans, probably, and everywhere...(you're) offended by me sitting here—because I'm a Republican!"

"I'm offended by a party that backs a racist!" Joy shouted.

"Oh, my God!" Meghan said. Joy continued to spar with her co-host, saying, "Oh, come on! Oh, come on, Meghan! Seventy-two percent of the Republican Party thinks he's a good role model."

"I'm going on The Van Jones Show on Saturday and I was actually looking forward to talking about this in a way that is respectful and not being told that just because I'm a Republican I'm offending you," Meghan said. "We're not going to move the needle one way or the other just throwing out platitudes and hubris like that. I would like to have a real conversation about it."

"Oh, really?" Joy asked. "Oh, really?"

"I don't know why you're sitting here saying you're offended by all Republicans," Meghan said. "I'm trying to give you my perspective—" Cutting her off again, Joy said, "Because 72 percent of them are backing a racist and somebody who has abused women. That's why! That's why!"

"Do you know that my father was accused of being racist, and Mitt Romney was accused of being racist, and Jeb Bush was accused?" Meghan asked. Fired up, Joy replied, "Your father is not in the Republican Party of today, darling! Those people are not in today's Republican party." ....

1. Rrepublicans are and really.have been the problem

For a very long time.

Their fake "deficits suck" stance under democratic presidents, is a real giveaway, given how they embrace.them when they are in power.

They are fake patriots, fake conservatives, even.

I suppose there are good Rs amongst them, but as a political party they stink.

[Motley13]

5. Don't forget fake christians

[cilla4progress]

6. Yes,

OF COURSE!!!

Worst of.all.

Thanks!

[calimary]

35. More often than not, they're the same thing.

[Ligyron]

36. Damn straight!

[C Moon]

21. Exactly!!

[uponit7771]

39. +1, its false equivalency to say dems equally screw things up economically or socially

[Siwsan]

2. I was in complete "WOW" mode, during that exchange

I'm pretty sick and tired of Meghan and her self-victimization routine.

And, strangely, I'm not finding Nancy Grace to be nearly as odious as usual. Maybe the whole Meghan vibe is mitigating the Nancy effect.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Especially Given. . .

. . .her credentials have more to do with her family name than any actual accomplishments.

It's fake stridency to be the "other side" on that show.

[Siwsan]

9. And the animosity is still pervasive in the atmosphere

Joy is not backing down with her scathingly brilliant zingers, and Meghan continues to play the poor, put upon conservative.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. When You've Got Nothing, Play The Victim

That's really the whole conservative pundit schtick, isn't it?

[Siwsan]

12. Absolutely.

The atmosphere in the back stage area must be suffocating.

[Caliman73]

15. At least since the Nixon Administration

I think that the Nixon Administration is where the whole "The world is against us, but we are right" mentality was really solidified. Nixon battling it out with the Press, along with Wormtongue Roger Ailes in his ear about GOPTv. They started to make a sacrament out of the "silent majority", these poor put upon conservatives that have to watch Christianity have equal footing with other religious traditions and atheism. Whites actually having to have an equal playing field with minorities, Men with women, etc...

Conservatives have been the victims of oppression (in their minds) forever. The sad reality however, is that while conservatives may try to stop progress, they never will as change is inevitable. They are only victims of their own narrow minds.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Good Call

Might even go back to W. Wilkie, who did the "put upon by the New Dealers" routine. But, certainly that happened during the late 60's, as you say.

[avebury]

28. If her name was not McCain she never would

have been given the gig. With her dad as sick as he is it would be tough for them to throw her off the show.

I wish that they had given the conservative slot to Ana Navarro.

[TwistOneUp]

31. Yes! Ana Navarro! More Republicans should follow her lead. nt

[maryellen99]

4. Megan needs to take a leave of absence from the show

And spend time with her dad who probably won’t make it to Spring.

[HipChick]

8. Sadly...have to agree..

[hlthe2b]

10. Me too. I'm sure her father has encouraged her to do her "thing" but she will regret it.

[anneboleyn]

19. I think you are right. She needs to spend time with her dad as he lives out the end of his life.

This is something that will be very important to her later. No doubt her father’s failing health also puts her under a lot of stress too.

[negoldie]

43. Over twenty years

ago my mother made the decision that she was just too tired to make the 120 mile round trip to dialysis three times a week. She was ready. The family gathered, we took turns trying to sleep. After the sixth day she was in a coma and died the next day. My point.......oh how I wish I had recorded her stories. Like this one: My father bringing her to meet his parents and how they didn't take a liking to her, how dad didn't want her to work but gave in because of us five kids......just all kinds of stories I hadn't heard. Alas, no one in our family was thinking all that clearly and her stories will have to live on in our memories. Oh how I wish I had recorded those last days.....to your point regarding these last days, quoting you that it "will be very important to her later" is so very true. I personally thinks she's selfish, and is only thinking of herself.

[Oppaloopa]

47. Remember when her father called her mother a Cu-- in public years ago?

[cilla4progress]

7. They've gotten away with their victimization schtick

For far too long.

It's like there's this unspoken mantra that we Dems are smarter, more educated and enlightened, and that this is therefore an unfair advantage, for which we owe them a few.clear shots!

[nolabear]

13. Is that today? Hasnt been on here yet.

Lord, she’s a brat. There are people in this world you just want to flounce on out of here and she’s one.

[LakeArenal]

16. Flounce.. Spot on...

Made me smile..

[blueinredohio]

14. I hope they do take her off the show, she's why I stopped watching.

[pandr32]

17. So Megan McCain

You think this is a non-partisan topic? Who do you think is putting all these abusers, liars, Russian mob wannabes, racists and criminals in the White House anyway?

[flibbitygiblets]

25. Clintons marital details were fair game...

IF the Obama's ever had the slightest marital issue, you better believe it would be politicized. Remember the "terrorist fist bump" for Gods sake?

But giving cover to a serial wife beater, oh THAT'S off limits eh? Fuck off, Meghan.

[niyad]

20. surely, by this time meghan, you have realized that you cannot possibly win in a contest against Joy

you are so far out of your depth there.

as a republican???? how about AS A WOMAN, as a human being, you are offended by all the sexual assaults and domestic violence against women? PERIOD.

[kimbutgar]

22. She brings nothing to the show

All she delivers Is Fox talking points. The conservative Jebbidah before her was way better.

[BigmanPigman]

45. She is using her name since she obviously lacks talent,

is insipid, and is a colossal bore. To go up against an intelligent person like Joy is incredibly naive or stupid, or both. In the words of her Fuhrer, "You're FIRED!".

[world wide wally]

23. Some zingers just write themselves

[Pepsidog]

24. Dem leaning shows have to stop giving Republicans a platform. If I see Jim Jordan

again spewing his bullshit on another MSNBC show I will vomit.

[left-of-center2012]

26. "Methinks, La Megan ain't long for The View"

Nah ~ she's been playing the pity card a long time.

Repeatedly on the verge of tears about how the other members of 'The View' don't respect Trump
and how she has to 'explain' his policies.

The funniest comment I heard her make a few weeks ago was when she said:
"Most people view me as a moderate,
but I'm pro-life and 2nd amendment."

[Tipperary]

27. Bookmarking for later.

[Angry Dragon]

29. her time is up

[rurallib]

30. Methinks we could use Joy Behar in congress

[jalan48]

32. Joy B is great. Her bluntness is what is absolutely needed today.

[Honeycombe8]

33. I don't think Porter was given FULL access. He was given access he shouldn't have had,

but I thought I heard that he'd not been given FULL access, since he didn't have security clearance for it. ???

Altho it wouldn't surprise me if he had been given full access, since the WH is currently so corrupt and unethical and doesn't care about the security of the country.

[barbtries]

34. i recall when her father was running for president

about how it was leaked that he had referred to his wife as the c word in front of others. i imagine he had his abusive moments.

[Oppaloopa]

48. Thank you I just wrote that .

[onecent]

37. Joy, I watched the show today (all of it)....and loved how you responded

to McCain.....

She needs to go....I can't stand her pouty face every afternoon ....I figured she would walk off of this one.


GOOD FOR YOU....

[irisblue]

38. Anyone got the video on line. Fast youtube +the view didn't have it.

[Amaryllis]

40. Here:

http://www.eonline.com/news/912890/joy-behar-and-meghan-mccain-get-into-a-screaming-match-on-the-view

[UTUSN]

42. THANKS, it's even better with the vid&transcript, am incorporating it into the O.P.!1

[betsuni]

41. The other day someone on the panel asked her what her father would say

about the topic and she got snippy, said she had her own opinion separate from her father or husband, but she's ALWAYS talking about her father. That was rude. She used to insist she didn't like Trump because he was mean to her father, but she gets that sour look on her face every time Trump's criticized and jumps in to do the false equivalency.

[Doremus]

53. I saw that. She uses Daddy when it benefits her. The View definitely blew it by hiring her.

Typical repuke, she's so nasty! Hardline this, hardline that. But if it's her pet project or friend, then it's all good.

I've noticed Joy is not as funny with that nasty person on the panel. She's so busy refuting the crap MM spews that she can't put her comedic spin on anything. Look what happened when she tried to laugh about the absurdity of Kelly's supposed ignorance of the wife beater. McCain took her head off.

[orleans]

44. i was watching

i didn't think megan would be there after the break. but surprise. she stuck around.

i wonder what she was going to say...
"as a republican i am offended..." (looks like she was saying "at" and maybe "the&quot

i was surprised at how spunky and back to normal joy seemed today. ever since she came back from having the flu i've thought she's been under the weather and rather unresponsive. today she was back in all her glory and kicked some ass.

[LiberalFighter]

46. The question should be "Which Republican Party?"

[George II]

49. How about how Kelly attacked Frederica S. Wilson and LIED about what she said at that FBI building..

...ceremony?

Video shows that she never said what he claimed she did. If she was white or a man would he have done the same? Probably not.

[lunasun]

52. +1

[catbyte]

50. There's one point where Joy Behar & I disagree. When she said,

"Your father is not in the Republican Party of today, darling! Those people are not in today's Republican party." ....

Au contraire. They absolutely ARE in "today's Republican party." McCain voted for the tax scam. McCain voted with Cheeto Benito 95% of the time, and so did the other so-called"moderate" or "sane" republicans.

Meghan McCain is lying to herself and the rest of us when she claims that she doesn't support what today's Republican party stands for. Her arguments against what's happening are anemic at best and disingenuous and dishonest at worst.

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. Who in the H E L L is Meghan McCain to have ANYTHING to say on NATIONAL

fucking television?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

When she says she is looking forward to talking to Van Jones about this, who the FUCK cares what YOU think
