Replacing Meghan McCain proved challenging as the former host discussed what she thought about the process “The View” went to fill her chair and the people the show ultimately went with as her replacements.
McCain left “The View” in August 2021, at the end of the show’s 24th season, and for an entire year, the program went with a rotation of guest co-host until this summer when Alyssa Farah Griffin, as well as Ana Navarro, were named full-time to the empty chair.
“It took a year and two people to replace me, which makes me feel good,” McCain said on Tuesday’s edition of “Andy Cohen Live.” “And I get to take that.”
On the show, the former co-host of “The View” was asked about her thoughts on Farah Griffin. McCain was somewhat mixed in her feedback but first criticized Farah Griffin’s family.
“I don’t know her at all. The only thing I know about her is her family,” McCain said. “She comes from an extremely, extremely controversial background.
“Her dad is a very famous homophobe and racist who started birtherism. He’s actually the person that invented Obama’s birtherism.”
