"The View" alum Meghan McCain is disappointed, to say the least, by her former colleagues' interview with JD Vance.
The vice president appeared on the ABC talk show, known for its political debates, on Tuesday, June 16, as he promoted his new book "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith." Throughout a wide-ranging conversation, the hosts asked Vance about the economy, ICE detention centers, immigration, inflation and the Epstein files.
McCain, 41, said on X that her "biggest takeaway" from watching Vance on "The View" was how "[expletive] and undisciplined the hosts STILL ARE."
"After all these years they still get basic facts wrong, flub easy questions and can't get through a segment without yelling at each other," she continued. "Vance handled it all very well."
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for "The View" for comment.
Meghan McCain attends the 2023 TIME100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 26, 2023, in New York City.
The episode notably featured a tense moment when the show's moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, snapped at cohost Ana Navarro moments before a commercial. Navarro persisted in asking a question despite Goldberg's emphasis on the need to go to break.
"I have to go to break!" Goldberg said, clapping her hands to get her co-host's attention. "Ana! God, please!"
"We have more with Vice President JD Vance when we come back," Goldberg added ahead of the commercial break before pleading with Navarro, "Don't do that."

What did McCain say after leaving 'The View'?
McCain, who served as the conservative voice for the show from 2017 to 2021, said there were several reasons for her exit.
In the last chapter of her 2022 memoir, "Bad Republican," the TV personality alleged that "the environment on the show is toxic."
She elaborated further in 2021, telling USA TODAY that the exit was the result of a few things. "Some of it was COVID and me just having time to reassess my life. Some of it was the work environment, and just quite frankly, the idea of going back into a studio where rampant leaking (to the press) happens, where there's this drama and fighting," she said.
In an April 28 episode of her politics and pop culture podcast "Citizen McCain," the daughter of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain criticized the decision to replace her with Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House director of strategic communications and assistant to President Donald Trump.
"The person they replaced me with is a joke," she said. "She's in no way representative of conservative women."
She continued: "It's been a widely disappointing experience for me to see what legacy I helped do during the four years there while my dad battled brain cancer and I had not one, but two miscarriages while I worked there."
