The View's Meghan McCain calls in sick after getting brutally mocked online all weekend

"The View” co-host Meghan McCain called in sick after she endured criticism and mockery all weekend for her comments on anti-Semitism.

During a debate Thursday about allegedly anti-Semitic comments by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), McCain tearfully invoked her father’s Jewish friend, former Sen. Joe Lieberman, after co-host Sunny Hostin said her own grandfather was Jewish.

“I take this very personally,” McCain said. “I would go so far as to say I probably verge on being a Zionist as well.”

On Monday, she joined host Whoopi Goldberg, who’s been recovering from double pneumonia for weeks, in taking a sick day.

“We are down two hosts today, people are getting sick,” said host Joy Behar ...
“Oh my god, I blame it on Trump,” Behar joked.

the TWO people on there who are there because of their family names have no leg to stand on when it comes to the latest news story about the college entrance scam.

Not saying they didn't work at staying in school or doing their jobs but THEY are the epitome of rich white privilege. THEY would not be on this show without their famous last names.
