Meghan McCain has some choice words for The View‘s Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The 41-year-old conservative took to her Citizen McCain podcast to slam the current 36-year-old The View co-host, who replaced her on the daytime talk show after she left in 2021.

“When I left The View, the executive producer said, ‘I want you to help me help pick your [successor],’” Meghan said, before bringing up some inaccurate statements about the show’s Emmys. “The show has only won an Emmy twice in its history — one time is when I was there, for Best Political Show.”
To note: The View has won over 30 Daytime Emmys over the years, and none of them are for “Best Political Show.”
She then added that she gave “a list of women I thought would be great, including Allie Beth Stuckey.
“You need someone who’s a real one,” Meghan said, adding she didn’t want the show to hire “fake people who once voted for President Bush in the early 2000s and now hate everything Republicans” have become.
“I’m gonna say something that’s a little nasty,” she went on about Alyssa, who previously worked under the first Trump administration. “The person they replaced me with is a joke. She is in no way representative of conservative women. It’s been a wildly disappointing experience for me to see what legacy I helped do during the four years there while my dad battled brain cancer and I had not one, but two miscarriages while I worked there.”
Later in the episode, Meghan referred to Alyssa as “whatever” and criticized her for admitting on air that she voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.
“How is that representing conservatives?” she posed.
Earlier this year, Alyssa took a maternity leave, welcoming her first child, and former co-host Elisabeth Hasselback returned to The View as a guest co-host, which Meghan praised.
“She was great, and she was really strong and she fought for a lot of the things that I fight for,” she said.
If you missed it, Meghan previously revealed if she would ever return to The View.
