While the two discussed on The View whether or not there should be more than two political parties, the returning mother said to Behar that she was missed when on maternity leave. When she was given the response that she was not missed, she retorted, “That’s so nasty.”

“Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave,” Meghan McCain said on The View. “You missed me so much. You missed fighting with me.”

After she was told this, the former co-host of The View went to her trailer. She called her brother for advice, who helped her make the decision to leave.
