Joy Behar isn’t happy Meghan McCain is back on “The View” after returning from maternity leave and she is letting it be known.
Meghan only came back to taping this week and things are already off to a feisty start. On today’s show, Joy and Meghan got into a little tiff during the Hot Topics segment.
Whoopi started the conversation by asking if there should be more than two political parties in America. She asked her cohosts if they thought that would be a good idea for the country and possibly help the divide.
Joy was the first to answer the question. She said everyone should let the Republican party eat themselves.

Joy admitted there is a division within the democratic party but nothing like that of the Republican party. Joy said, âOn the one hand you have the Republicans. and on the other hand you have the seditionistsâŚAmong the Democrats you have the progressives and the moderates which is de rigueur.â
She said the Republicans have a lot more issues going on right now than the Democrats. Meghan can be seen rolling her eyes and looking frustrated during Joyâs answer. She interrupted Joy saying, âAre you kidding me. You have people like AOC.â Meghan argued the Democrats have just as many issues as the Republicans at the moment. Joy didnât appreciate being cut off and shouted, âExcuse me, Iâm not done.â

Meghan didnât let up shouting back, âWell itâs just thatâs completely inaccurate.â Moments later, she told the cohost, âJoy you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave â you missed fighting with me.â
Joy replied with a stoneface, âI did not. I did not miss you. Zero.â
Meghan felt some kind of way telling Joy, âThatâs so nasty. Thatâs so rude. Thatâs, like, so nasty.â Whoopi then stepped in and moved on asking cohost Sara Haines for her opinion.
After the episode aired this morning fans were quick to come to Joy’s defense on social media. One said, “I donât care about Joy Behar disrespecting @MeghanMcCain Meghan we will not defend you, you are nothing but a Trump hating liberal. We donât care that your last name is McCain, it means nothing to us Raise your hand if you agree.”
Another was tickled by the exchange commenting, “Child…. Joy Behar & Meghan McCain I hollered then had to rewind so I could record this moment. Face with tears of joy Face with tears of joy Face with tears of joy.”
