'The View' Co-Hosts Meghan McCain And Joy Behar Want Nothing To Do With Each Other Amid Reports ABC Execs Scolded Them For Nasty On-Air Fight

Meghan McCain and Joy Behar did not speak or interact on Wednesday's episode of The View, following reports that the two were scolded for a particularly gnarly fight that took place earlier this week.

During the on-air debacle in question, a riled-up McCain went off the rails in a Whoopi Goldberg-led discussion about Israeli-Palestinian relations, during which the conservative daughter of the late Senator John McCain called on the media to cover anti-Semitic hate crimes the same way "as we do with every other minority."
Behar – who said she "resented that remark" because she had been "talking about anti-Semitism on this show for 25 frickin' years" – flipped out and ordered McCain to "have some respect."
The blowup is said to have caused a barrage of hate mail from fans and viewers calling on ABC to terminate Meghan for her remarks and treatment of Joy.
In turn, network execs got involved, as ABC News President Kim Godwin reportedly called a last-minute virtual meeting with the show's stars and producers in an effort to improve talent relations and the overall culture on set.
According to reports, Godwin – who acquired the position just this month – told everyone that the on-air discussions were getting too personal for TV. She is said to have made it clear that she was referring to the attacks among the co-hosts and not the issues they were debating.
Kim reportedly said the personal digs were coming across as toxic to viewers and that that was not the look she wanted for the show.
Midway through the meeting, Meghan is said to have stormed out because she felt like she was being attacked.

You-know-what hit the fan Monday after Goldberg brought up Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene having compared Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's mask mandates on the House floor to the Holocaust.
"You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany," Greene said. "And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."
McCain prefaced her thoughts on the matter by saying that she "can't stand" Greene and thinks she's a "crazy person."
