AceShowbiz - Meghan McCain has her own reason why she has stopped watching "The View" since her departure. When speaking to The Messenger, the TV personality said tuning in to the show is like "looking at an ex-boyfriend's Instagram."
Noting that she doesn't "watch it at all," the 38-year-old added, "I don't have time to watch this kind of content. I do listen to a lot of podcasts. And you know, it's kind of like looking at an ex-boyfriend's Instagram, it's just not great for you." She then stressed, "So no, I don't watch."
When reflecting on her time on "The View", Meghan said, "I still miss the wardrobe people." She went on to note, "I just love getting dressed up... So I miss the wardrobe people the most and they're very kind. They have been the wardrobe people the entire history of the show."
Meghan was a presenter on the ABC morning show from 2017 until 2021. When appearing on "Reality With the King" podcast last year, she admitted she is still close to Sunny Hostin, but has no relationship with fellow former co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
"Sunny is one of the greatest TV presences in all of television. I keep telling her she should have her own show," she said at the time. "I don't know why MSNBC isn't trying to poach her for Rachel Maddow's spot."
"She's by far the most politically savvy person on that show," Meghan opined. "And extremely curious in a way I didn't find anyone else I worked with. Like, curious about different aspects of politics. [She is] a really good person. She's the only cast member I still have a relationship with."
Now in an interview with The Messenger, Meghan opened up about her work in building Citizen Cain and its debut podcast. "I was very resistant to do a podcast for a long time, it was an oversaturated market in a lot of different ways," she said. "But honestly, I had such a hard time finding political voices that really speak to me and with me."
"I want people on I don't agree with too, that's part of it. I always keep emphasizing with our booker that this is a deeply respectful space, and I am not here to make anybody uncomfortable or scream at them or get in fights in a way," the daughter of the late politician John McCain continued. "You could have heated arguments that are respectful, but I'm not here to make a spectacle. And I hope the more episodes come out, people will see that."
