THE View’s Meghan McCain stormed off during a commercial to argue with a show producer over co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s “dismissive” behavior on Thursday’s broadcast.

The off-camera clash came after Whoopi, 63, was forced to cut to a break because her on-air feud with Meghan became too heated.

According to Daily Mail, the 35-year-old political analyst “looked like she was ready to walk off the set” when she began pacing back and forth during her argument with the producer.

The source added to the outlet: “There was definite tension on the set.

“Meghan seemed like she was reaching a breaking point during the confrontation with the producer.

“It seemed like Meghan felt she was being attacked. I don’t think she’s going to last much longer.”

Eventually, Whoopi walked over to her View co-host to reconcile before the show returned from break.

She was able to calm Meghan down, but the 35-year-old “barely interacted with the other hosts” after the incident.

It all started after the Sister Act actress commended Mitt Romney for being the only Republican to vote to convict Trump on impeachment charges, and Meghan was not happy with her support of him.

Whoopi told the daughter of the late Senator John McCain that she’s “gonna give faith in him, like I gave your dad.”

Meghan, 35, fired back: “With all due respect, Mitt Romney is nothing like my dad.

“I’m just saying, don’t put all your bets on Romney right now because he’ll break your heart.”

Whoopi demanded Meghan let her finish a sentence, but Meghan was too fired up
The 63-year-old View host did not like being told what to do, especially from someone so much younger than her.

She said: “You’re half my age, so hear what I know.”

An upset Meghan called Whoopi “very dismissive,” and the two began talking over each other, raising their voices with each new comment.

Meghan continued: “I don’t know what my age has to do with my political perspective right now.”

Whoopi responded: “Well, I’m trying to tell you that I have —”

Not letting her finish, Meghan simply said: “I just don’t think it’s very nice.”

Not able to finish any of her sentences, an exasperated Whoopi tried to stop Meghan from talking by just yelling, “Oh my God!”

It didn’t work, and a defensive Meghan said she “knew this [attack] was going to happen.”

She angrily said: “You know what, I knew when I got here and didn’t like Romney, I knew this was gonna happen.”

Whoopi tried to explain why she was on the offensive, saying: “Hold on, let me finish this. This has nothing to do personally with you.

“This has to do with the fact that when you say to me, ‘Don’t put all your eggs in the basket,’ that’s dismissive to me.”

The two continued to fight, but when co-host Joy Behar put herself in the middle of it, and she and Meghan started going at it, Whoopi cut to commercial break.

Viewers took to Twitter to note their surprise over the fact that Meghan would fight with Whoopi so strongly when she recently opened up about the comedian being her “anchor” on the show, saying “she always picks us up when we’re down.”

Meghan even went so far as to say she would leave The View if Whoopi ever left.

One social media user wondered: “#MeghanMcCain said she would leave #TheView, if whoopi were to leave. reason being, she knows she cant handle joy, sunny or ana, without whoopi calming her down.

“With that said, why is she fighting with the only person she likes on the show?”

This is only the latest on-air drama between Meghan and Whoopi.

The show’s moderator previously demanded that the political analyst “stop talking” after she kept speaking over everyone.

Meghan’s also had drama with Abby Huntsman in the past, who just left her role as a co-host on the ABC talk show earlier this year.
