Meghan McCain Shares Her Thoughts After Being Mentioned on The View by Sheryl Underwood: “I Wish Her Luck”
Meghan McCain has expressed her thoughts following a mention on The View by guest co-host Sheryl Underwood.
The former co-host of the ABC talk show has experienced a complicated relationship with The View since her time as the conservative voice at the “Hot Topics” table.
In the episode that aired on Tuesday, March 10, the co-hosts discussed Senator Lindsey Graham and his steadfast support for Donald Trump amid rising tensions in Iran. Graham also suggested potential military action in Cuba, prompting Whoopi Goldberg to question, “Who in your family is going to do all this fighting? I want to be clear about this, Lindsey, you’re throwing lives around, people’s fathers and sons and brothers. Where’s your contribution?”
Underwood commented, “I don’t know this Lindsey Graham. I know the Lindsey Graham who was friends with the great John McCain. I think Meghan McCain is absolutely right to tell him you need to shut up right now, because you’re talking out the side of your neck.”

Joy Behar appeared to believe that Underwood misspoke when mentioning Meghan McCain, as the clip featured conservative activist Megyn Kelly denouncing Graham.
In a post on X, Meghan McCain criticized Graham, stating, “I’ve known Lindsey Graham since I was a child. I am imploring anyone who will listen in the Trump administration to stop sending this man out as a surrogate. He is scaring people and doing damage to whatever message you’re trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war.”
Following Underwood’s mention, McCain remarked to EW, “I appreciate Sheryl’s kind words. I have been a fan of hers for a long time ever since meeting her when I was a guest on The Talk many years ago, where she shared with me she is a Republican. I wish her luck co-hosting The View, she is a TV icon!”
McCain has been vocal about her negative feelings toward The View since leaving the show in 2021. In 2024, she referred to it as a “radical progressive insane asylum.” In 2023, she labeled the co-hosts as “crazy old people” and emphasized that “there’s not a chance in hell” she would ever return to the show.
