Meghan McCain opened up after Whoopi Goldberg told her to shut up during Monday’s episode of the daytime talk show The View.
The two co-hosts argued briefly about President Trump’s impeachment process during Monday’s episode when Whoopi, 64, snapped and told Meghan, “Girl, please stop talking. Stop talking right now!”
A stunned Meghan responded, “No problem. I won’t talk for the rest of the show.”

Meghan took to Twitter.com to defend herself, saying:
“[Democrats] and [Republicans] alike need to confront the ugly truth: both parties are failing to be impartial jurors. I won’t be quiet, even if the reality reflects poorly on the entire political establishment. I have a responsibly to speak for the 50% that feels media doesn’t represent them.”
She continued:
“Pointing out things that are true is part of my job even if it angers people and even if it’s politically inconvenient.”
She then tweeted a series of polls, noting that 50% of Americans want Trump impeached.
“Pretending half the country doesn’t exist won’t make them disappear. The culture war is real, and Americans who aren’t part of the overwhelmingly anti-conservative media deserve to have their views represented.”
On Tuesday morning, Meghan, 35, posted a GIF from the HBO series “Games of Thrones”. She captioned the GIF “Good morning – to all the fellow conservative ‘girls’ who won’t be quiet.”

Meghan is the daughter of the late Senator John McCain, who was a vocal anti-Trump critic until his death in August 2018 at age 81.
Question: Did Whoopi have the right to silence her co-host?
.@WhoopiGoldberg and @MeghanMcCain address heated comments on Monday's show: "We're really passionate — this is our jobs," Goldberg says. "Sometimes it goes off the rails — and it does."
"We fight like we're family — it's all good," McCain adds. https://t.co/f8u2wc159S pic.twitter.com/3CNUbWgiuV— The View (@TheView) December 17, 2019
