Is Megahn McCain Quitting 'The View'?
by EG
Meghan McCain has a platform to invoke the name of her late father while she states her conservative stance on current events, but that might not be enough to keep her on The View. McCain is reportedly considering leaving the show because of the constant bickering between herself and her more liberal co-hosts. Read on for details.

Will Meghan McCain be the next co-host to depart “The View”?
The Daily Beast reports that the Republican panelist — who has repeatedly clashed on air with her more liberal co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin — might turn down an offer to appear on the talk show’s 23rd season in September.
The 34-year-old daughter of the late Sen. John McCain is “feeling like a caged animal,” a source told the publication. She also feels “so exhausted and defeated” after two seasons of on-air bickering, another insider said.
“It’s getting to the point where it’s not worth the emotional toll every week,” said a McCain pal, who asked not to be further identified. “If she doesn’t stay at ‘The View,’ she will find other work.”
McCain declined to comment on The Daily Beast’s report. Her personal rep didn’t immediately return our request for comment.
Hilary Estey McLoughlin, the show’s senior executive producer, told the outlet that no one at “The View” wants McCain to leave but acknowledged her knack for making headlines.
“We don’t want people to attack Meghan. We’re happy to have Meghan there,” McLoughlin told The Daily Beast. “I think she does want to be there. I think she wants to be on the show. She realizes it’s a very good platform for her and we love having her there. I feel like she will come back.”
