McCain book shares why she left 'toxic' times at 'The View'
CTV
Meghan McCain says she decided to leave 'The View' following her second day back from maternity leave in January when frequent foil Joy Behar said “I did not miss you” during a political argument.
McCain, who left this summer after four years as the daytime talk show's conservative voice, told that and other backstage stories in a new book, “Bad Republican,” and subsequent interview with Variety.
McCain had announced on July 1 that she was leaving “The View” because she did not want to be uprooted from her Washington life with her husband, commentator Ben Domenech, and daughter Liberty when the show returned to its New York studio.
She was more forthcoming in her book.
“I had been unhappy at `The View' for a long time,” she wrote. “My unhappiness was like this giant wave that had been building and building and finally crested after I returned from leave.”
