Page Six reports that Meghan has also lost the support of her fellow Conservative Abby Huntsman.
An insider said: “They aren’t speaking to each other. It’s been about a month.
“None of the ladies talk to Meghan now. Abby was the last woman standing. It’s bad. Meghan’s so rude.”
Another added: “Abby tolerates Meghan, but she doesn’t genuinely like her. Their friendship has soured.”

Tensions reached a climax on the show this week when she clashed with Abby – whose dad is former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Junior.
Discussing ex-national security adviser John Bolton who is willing to testify in President Trump’s impeachment hearing, Abby said: “I think he ultimately has a conscience.
“He’s someone that I think would be speaking [about] what he thinks is right, not what politically he believes or doesn’t believe.”

Meghan – who is the daughter of the late former Senator John McCain – replied: “The idea that he went home and grew a conscience … Maybe I’ve been in politics too long.”
But Abby hit back, saying: “Well, I’ve also been in politics. It’s my upbringing too, and a lot of people have been around politics or know politics, whether you have family or not.
“This show is about opinions.”
Meghan was also called out by Whoopi Goldberg last month for speaking over the other panelists.

A representative from The View said: “We have an incredible panel of smart, dynamic women including Meghan, who brings passion and a strong point of view to the table every day.”
