Less than two weeks after Jedediah Bila unexpectedly announced her exit from The View, the ABC morning show has a new co-host: conservative TV personality Meghan McCain.

McCain is expected to join Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Paula Faris, and Sunny Hostin at the table in October, according to Variety. ABC declined to comment.

The news comes ten days after McCain announced she was leaving Fox News Channel where she was a co-host of Outnumbered. “I’m so thankful to Fox News for the chance to be on Outnumbered, but I’m leaving to focus on other things,” McCain said when announcing her departure.

McCain is the daughter of Senator John McCain and will serve as the conservative voice on The View. Despite her political affiliation, McCain has been notably critical of the current administration and President Donald Trump.

    Sad that she is going from a real good show to the disgraceful hate show. Maybe her daddy's hate has rubbed off onto her. I thought she was real smart and liked watching her but now she has turned liberal and democrat (sorry I should say socialist party). I feel sorry for you but God Bless You. You will not hear that again because they hate America and your right to say anything about God. But God Bless You anyway.

      It's honestly completely disgusting how you can claim that someone is a racist because of their belief that "The View" is a liberal dominated show. Guess what - it is. Quit your god damn race baiting. As far as Meghan hopping into the snake pin goes, if you've watched her at all on "Outnumbered" or "The Five", you'll notice that she sticks to her guns. She will be the best thing for this show, and bring in its largest audience that they've had since Elisabeth Hasselbeck, I guarantee it.

      No one is the best thing for this hate show and I want to know when is it going to be canceled.
