Meghan McCain’s Only Friend on ‘The View’ Revealed: ‘She’s a Really Good Person’
Since Meghan McCain left "The View" almost a year ago, the host has said many times that she will never return to the show anymore. However, she recently revealed that there is one co-host she still has a relationship with and considers her as friend; who could this be?
In an interview on the "Reality With the King" podcast, the conservative host recalled her time on the show and mentioned that she's still friends with former co-host Sunny Hostin.
Describing her good pal, McCain said Hostin "is one of the greatest TV presences in all of television. I keep telling her she should have her own show."
For the former host, her friend is the "most politically savvy person" on "The View," and they had a nice time together despite their political differences.
Outside their professional work, McCain expressed how she respects Hostin as a person, saying, "I have such love for her and respect for her. She's a really good person and she didn't demonize me the way a lot of other people did, for whatever that's worth." (via ET Online)
Despite maintaining a good connection with her friend, the columnist clarified she stopped watching the show after leaving last year.
McCain said she had moved on and didn't miss being on the show, because being a part of the panel was difficult for her.
The conservative host's latest revelation comes a few months after she gave fans further insight into what happened behind her decision of leaving the show.
In an excerpt from her audio memoir titled "Bad Republican," McCain said she was trying to adjust to her new schedule as she had return to the show after giving birth.
However, the host had a heated argument on air with co-host Joy Behar after asking her if she missed her presence.
In a book excerpt obtained by @Variety, Meghan McCain says an on-air exchange with Joy Behar in January was the last straw that made her leave #TheView :

"I did not, I did not miss you. Zero," Behar replied.
After exchanging words on air, McCain recalled on her book how she cried uncontrollably backstage during the commercial break and later vomited in her office.
At the time, she realized that it didn't feel safe to work at "The View" anymore.
"It is one of the most singular feelings of loneliness and anguish I have felt in my entire life," she said.
