The View’s Meghan McCain admits she wanted to ‘give up and leave’ show after dealing with costar ‘drama’

ALL of the drama on The View almost became too much for host Meghan McCain to deal with.

The 35-year-old revealed she almost quit at one point but didn’t because her late father, Senator John McCain, wouldn’t have wanted her to do that.

In a new epilogue of Ramin Setoodeh’s Ladies Who Punch, a book about The View, Meghan opened up about joining the popular ABC talk show in 2017 and losing her dad shortly thereafter.

She shared: “I often think that I must have been out of my f***ing mind to do the most historically controversial show in all of television at a time when I was going through so much emotionally.

“I just wish people at home would give me a break, because I’ve been dealing with so much.”

The political commentator is often getting into on-air feuds with her co-hosts, for various reasons, including arguments over their different political views or because they can’t stop talking over one another.

Meghan’s gotten into fights with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Abby Huntsman, the latter of whom recently quit the show.

She added in the book: “It’s been a lot to deal with the drama of the show, the leaking in the press, and then my grief all at the same time.”

“…there are times when I have wanted to completely give up and leave.”

What keeps her on the show is reminding herself that her dad “really wanted” her on The View.

She continued: “I keep trying to remind myself of that anytime I feel like maybe this is no longer the right decision.”
