LEAKED: Desi Lydic's audition to replace Meghan McCain on “The View”

   Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" was mocked Friday after it shared a satirical video of comedian Desi Lydic's fake audition to replace former " The View " co-host   Meghan McCain . In the video, Lydic is seen giving various opinionated takes, referencing McCain's discussion of her late father Sen. John McCain, and interacting with imaginary co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. McCain, the show's token conservative for four years, frequently angered liberal media members and viewers with her clashes with the show's left-leaning co-hosts. "Let's talk about an issue that affects real Americans: People being mean to me on Twitter," Lydic said in one of the attempted jokes. McCain served as "The View's" lone conservative voice from 2017 to this year. She left this summer to have more time with her family and recently joined the Daily Mail as a columnist.  Her column debut came in late September, in which she blast...

Amy Walter, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Eddie Glaude, Jr. and Meghan McCain join the Meet the Press roundtable to talk about President Biden's imperiled agenda

  Meghan McCain  spent years irking liberals as the token conservative on "The View," but managed to continue bothering the left on Sunday simply by showing up on NBC’s "Meet the Press."  McCain  walked away from "The View" last month  because she enjoyed settling down in Washington, D.C. with her family since the coronavirus pandemic and didn't want to upend her life again for the New York-based program. Now a columnist for the Daily Mail, her appearance on Chuck Todd's Sunday show didn't delight progressive viewers. Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien responded to video of Todd welcoming McCain to the program with a tweet that scolded "Meet the Press" for offering her a platform.   "This young lady is not her father (though she likes to name him frequently). She lies on camera, she has zero value as a guest, certainly she’s go no credibility as a political talking head. And yet, Meet the Press fails by allowing her to lie on t...

Meghan McCain rips longtime family friend Biden after Afghan withdrawal speech: 'I do not recognize this man'

  Former "View" co-host   Meghan McCain   tore into   President Biden   for his speech commemorating the withdrawal from   Afghanistan , saying she does not "recognize" the longtime family friend.  Biden took a victory lap during his address to the nation, calling the withdrawal an "extraordinary success" despite maintaining an angry tone throughout the speech and repeatedly blaming his predecessor, former President Trump, for striking a deal with the Taliban.  "[Thirteen] American soldiers are dead - most of them between the ages of 20-23 because they were put in harms way chaotically in the line of fire of a suicide bomber. Disappointed and disgusted President Biden says 'this couldn't have been done in a more orderly manner,'" McCain reacted.  13 American soldiers are dead - most of them between the ages of 20-23 because they were put in harms way chaotically in the line of fire of a suicide bomber. Disappointed and disgusted Presi...

"The beginning of the end was not a week ago. It was when the US government entered into direct negotiations with the Taliban without including the Afghan government," says fmr. Rep. Will Hurd.

  Former "View" co-host  Meghan McCain  continued blasting  President Biden  for his handling of the turbulent military withdrawal from  Afghanistan .  "I have been physically ill, more depressed than I have been since the beginning stages of the pandemic and filled nothing short of pure rage and anger since the calamity of a ‘pull out’ which will be seen as one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes of my lifetime," McCain began her Instagram post on Thursday.  "I am furious our President was so incompetent not to see what every expert on the planet could have seen coming. I am furious for my friends and family who have been fighting in these wars since I was 16 (many who have lost limbs, had their life terrorized by PTSD from their experiences in war and deployments, or worse). I am furious seeing our allies and innocent Afghan citizens who trusted us are being left to be slaughtered or so desperate to escape the pure evil the Taliban wi...

"The President decided that this was the right thing to do and the right time to do it," says Pentagon Press Secy. John Kirby of the US deploying 3000 troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate personnel.

  "A prudent decision to scope down, to reduce our civilian footprint in Kabul, while we still have an environment where we can do that safely. So that's what the US military is going to be doing." says Pentagon Press Secy. John Kirby of the US deploying 3000 troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate personnel. McCain torched the execution of the military withdrawal and the turmoil that has been caused on the ground, taking a swipe at President Biden. "Even if you thought leaving Afghanistan was the right decision -this is a reckless, dangerous, blundering, and embarrassing withdrawal," McCain began a series of tweets. "We left our translators, women, children, people who helped us for 20 years to be slaughtered & our president just called a lid until Wednesday." Even if you thought leaving Afghanistan was the right decision -this is a reckless, dangerous, blundering, and embarrassing withdrawal. We left our translators, women, children, people who he...

Meghan McCain grills Mary Trump on tell-all book: This seems like a great way to 'get a paycheck'

Mary Trump was grilled by  Meghan McCain  on "The View" about her bestselling book on President Trump. "I don't like books like this," McCain began the exchange with President Trump's niece. "I don't like family tell-all books, especially when it comes to families with fame and power because they're told from the one side and often the subjects are villainized to the point that I don't end up actually believing the stuff written. There have been books written about my family, which are complete and total garbage, told from a skewed perspective and at the end of the day, you get a really good paycheck out of it, but I don't think it's that legitimate." "What do you say to people like me who think that this is just a great way for you to get a paycheck right now?" McCain asked. The "Too Much and Never Enough" author responded by telling McCain that she is "entirely entitled to [her] opinion,...

Tiffany Cross says Joe Biden should pick a Black woman as his running mate: “It’s not a time to make safe choices.”

Whoopi Goldberg  suggested on Thursday that it was narrow-minded to insist that  former Vice President Joe Biden  pick a Black woman as his running mate.

Tammy Duckworth as a potential vice presidential pick. Political commentator Tiffany Cross praised Duckworth and her military service, but said: "Black women have joined the military at disproportionate rates relative to any other demographic. We are overrepresented in the U.S. Armed Forces. Even those women deserve to have someone who looks like them."

'The View co-host Meghan McCain argues that 'any other Republican candidate would have done this very well'

"The View" co-host  Meghan McCain  argued Wednesday that  President Trump  gave an "undisciplined" performance Tuesday when he used a speech in the Rose Garden to, among other things, attack presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign platform. "Any other Republican candidate would have done this very well, but we have someone who can’t even discipline themselves in three seconds, and then it’s just frustrating to watch," she said. "It’s why electing a complete outsider with no political experience in this swamp will probably end up making him a one-term president."

The women of “The View” broke out into an inteWhoopi Goldberg assumed that Meghan McCain might want to take a pass on talking about the resignation of Tucker Carlson

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg assumed that co-host Meghan McCain might want to take a pass on talking about the resignation of Tucker Carlson’s top writer because she used to work for Fox News. She was wrong. “I’m happy to speak on this,” McCain said, setting herself up for a rant against “cancel culture.” “I think about cancel culture a lot,” she said. “I think every person who’s in mainstream media that has a platform, probably at one time or another thinks about it. Every woman on this show, at one point or another, cancel culture has tried to remove one of us from this show, for one reason or another. And by some miracle we’re all still here. And I think the greatest miracle is still me somehow being here.” She pointed to a New York Times op-ed about The View’s “Meghan McCain problem” as evidence. “I am against cancel culture,” McCain continued. “I think one of the reasons why I’m always a proponent of Tucker Carlson is because I believe in diversity of ...

"The View' Meghan McCain scolds Joy Behar for claiming Republicans don't care about education: 'Aggressive and incendiary'

A weeklong hiatus clearly wasn’t enough for the women of The View. On Monday morning, the co-hosts returned to the show rarin’ to go, and things quickly flew off the rails during a discussion about the COVID-19 pandemic. When Joy Behar suggested that Republicans don’t care about education, Meghan McCain blew up, and the two proceeded to get into a knock-out fight that continued long past Whoopi Goldberg sent The View to commercial. Welcome back, ladies! The panel was in the midst of a discussion about whether or not schools should reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic when co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Americans aren’t getting enough guidance from Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “Betsy DeVos needs major media training if she’s gonna have a job like this in the administration, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone at that level be worse in interviews,” McCain said, as Behar chuckled. “I think...

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain claims push to 'defund the police' is helping Trump reelection bid

Meghan McCain  warned on Tuesday that  Democrats  were hurting their party's electoral prospects by countenancing the idea that local governments should "defund the  police " after  George Floyd's  death. "If you're explaining, you're losing and there's a lot of explaining going on on this," McCain said. "... If you mean reform, say 'reform.' If you mean defund, say 'defund.' People are confused."\ “If you’re explaining, you’re losing, and there’s a lot of explaining going on,” says of the defund the police movement. “If you mean reform, say reform. If you mean defund, say defund.
