Meghan McCain kicked off her final week on The View by attacking Kathy Griffin, who just announced she has cancer, then chickening out and signing the Zoom appeal before an interview with Mary Trump.
John McCain’s daughter was inexplicably absent from the show’s big interview with Trump, even though she was there for the Hot Topics segment of the episode, in which she attacked comedian Kathy Griffin, who was undergoing surgery. for lung cancer at that time, for a homophobic joke she made about 20 years ago.
“I don’t like it,” McCain said. “I’m never going to love him.”
But when the time came for Trump’s interview later in the hour, McCain was suddenly MIA.
Trump was there to promote his new book, The Reckoning. McCain’s notable absence went unnoticed for much of the interview until Trump finally called him out for his lack of “courage” to debate live on television.
Trump was talking about how Donald Trump had made racism a cornerstone of his platform and how he had been successful in convincing Republican voters.
“It’s a shame your coworker didn’t have the courage to come and have this conversation with me,” she said, referring to McCain. “But I understand that all of you were willing to bring up these very difficult topics because racism, in my opinion, is at the heart of all that is wrong in 21st century America.”
There was an awkward pause before Whoopi Goldberg wrapped up the segment by plugging in Trump’s new book and the show went public.
It’s still unclear why McCain wasn’t there for the Trump interview, but it might have something to do with the last time Mary was there she reminded Meghan that she was ‘taking it’ her last name, to which John McCain daughter replied: “Well, you have every right to your opinion.”
