It’s official: Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi announced on Tuesday that Congress would be launching an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, and the ladies of “The View” had a lot to say about it on the show.
While four of the five hosts favoured Pelosi’s position — including conservative Sunny Hostin, a recent convert to impeachment — Meghan McCain took a contrary position.
After Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Hostin, and Abby Huntsman shared their opinions (above), Meghan McCain offered a differing assessment (below).

“Unleash the Kraken. Because honestly, if you’re not going to listen to Nancy Pelosi about the political implications of this, just impeach him then. See what happens politically. Because what happened with [President Bill] Clinton in the ’90s really did ended up hurting Republicans, and I think and many historians of politics believe that it helped get Clinton re-elected,” said McCain.
“Just impeach him them,” she continued, “Because quite frankly, I’m sick of hearing everybody b***h about it. Just do it.”
Goldberg chimed in. “I don’t know what you’re saying right now, but I’ll tell you what I want,” she said. “I want somebody I can trust. I don’t have to like everything he does, I don’t have to agree with everything.”

“Let me just counter that one second,” McCain interrupted. “I’ve watched a lot of clips of ‘The View’ from when [President George W.] Bush was running, my dad was running, and [Mitt] Romney was running. And it sounds a lot the same. You were calling for Bush’s impeachment at one time. So again there’s a certain point when Republicans watching, you are sounding an alarm at all times. So it’s hard to differentiate between who you think you can trust. Because 10 years ago, you couldn’t trust Bush, you couldn’t trust Romney, you couldn’t trust my dad.”
“I’m sorry… let me be clear about me and Republicans,” Goldberg fired back. “I’ve been friends with Republicans my whole life.”
“But did you trust them in power?” McCain asked.
“Sometimes, yeah. I grew up with Republicans in power. As I said, I don’t like all the things that they do,” replied Goldberg, referencing her support for President Bush’s immigration reform efforts.
“The nostalgia for Bush right now always entertains me,” McCain said mockingly.
“Well I’m glad you’re entertained,” Goldberg said. “If you can’t see right now why people are upset about this…”
“Of course I see why people are upset,” McCain interjected.
“Well, then don’t be so dismissive when you’re talking,” Goldberg said angrily.
“I’m not dismissive,” McCain shot back.
“That’s how I feel,” Goldberg said in disgust, throwing to commericial as McCain could be heard to say, “God!”
