I would pay money to see Meg get pushed back by Duckworth.  But I am willing to bet she will play nice.

Meghan never shuts up about how much she loves our military. I hope she shows Tammy Duckworth the respect she deserves as a combat veteran who lost her legs serving this country.

She will definitely do this. But if she thinks she can filet the Senator, she will first suck up to her and her military service, then ask the tone deaf, talking point question about what was said.

Meganutz actually looks nice today! No WalMart janky hair extensions, no extreme eye-shadow from Dollar General...she actually looks attractive today.

[Spartan Girl]

Meg: Some of the dumbest people are in Congress....

Me: And on The View.

And AGAIN with the whataboutism!!!!

[LetsStartTalking]

And MegaNutz is off and running - she just sideswiped Sara !

[Haleth]

Meg is off to a good start with the whataboutism, equating Matt Gaetz with Eric Swalwell. At least she left the goofy hairstyles and makeup home.

Ooh, and Sunny took a swipe at Meg.

Am I hearing right ?  'An all new Oprah DAILY edition of 'View Your Deal' ' ???? Are they saying 'DAILY' ? We have to watch Oprah's garage sale ever day now ????? 

 

I guess the first quarter sales  for eye-readers, candles and skin care manufacturers were a bust, and now they're unloading their crap on VIEWers.

[Bronzedog]

Whoopie looks like just having to be there for an hour is pissing her off.

[TheGreenKnight]

Anyone else notice how they read legal notes after discussing alleged stories about two Republican politicians, but no legal note for smears on Cuomo??? Interesting.

[JayD83]

Why in the hell did I turn the channel to this....Is this the MM show or what? 

[gatopretoNYC]

Man, I hate this Megabitch.

Whooped, annoyed at Megabitch " Oh, for frog's legs." 😄

[Haleth]

Meghan’s righteous indignation is exhausting. 

[Bronzedog]

EMTs!  Stand by!  Megs is all apoplectic!

[LetsStartTalking]

I like when MegaNutz kept saying 'What? What?' trying to listen to something coming through her earpiece at the end.

All I could imagine was the producer in the control room shouting 'Shut the hell up you crazy b*tch!'  😄😄😄

[Bronzedog]

In one segment, Meghan is trashing President Biden and in the next, she’s saying she has reached out to the White House regarding the vaccine.  Yeah, Meghan.  Your opinion is going to carry a lot of weight.  Also, Megs?  I don’t give a flying f if you and your cohorts get vaccinated or not.  Just stay the hell away from me.  Actually, stay away from me even if you get vaccinated.

Readers are $15.99 at Harris Teeter.  Just saying.

[LetsStartTalking]

WHAT A STUPID QUESTION SARA ASKED DR. MURTHY!

 

She asked where he stands for the future - hopeful or afraid?

WTH do you think he's going to answer, Sara?  "I'm afraid for the future and with these vaccines" ?

[Haleth]

I had to laugh about eyewear and skin care products as O deals of the day. Just what you wanted to see, Let’s. 🤣

Thats an interesting sweater Adam is wearing.

Her ASS is just going to have to wait until she can get an appointment. If she's now a resident of either Virginia or New York, her twatty ass is eligible. She just can't cut in line to get an appointment now. She's gonna have to do what everyone else is doing: try to make an appointment. President Biden isn't going to do her any favors. Ignorant TWAT.

[Pearson80]

Nutmeg is a damn liar.  She lied about Eric Swallwell and voting being hard in New York.  Voting has gotten so much easier and will be getting even more easier.  Why is she allowed to peddle lies and propaganda without any pushback.

I loved Whoopie losing patience with Nutmeg, "oh for frogs legs"..

Sunny throwing barbs at Nutmeg was great and she was wonderful today as always.  This is why I love Sunny, her intelligence on this show is unmatched and always makes me smile. 

If only Ana was here just so I could hear her opine on Matt Gaetz..

It seems like the more scandal comes over McCain the more unhinged she becomes which inevitably means she causes more controversy and keeps the cycle on a loop.

[rcc]

No mention of the Capitol police officers on Friday? Or did I miss it.

[Haleth]

I love how Meg is so adamant that it’s the current administration’s responsibility to convince white Rep men to get the vaccine after the previous administration worked so hard to convince the base that government and science are the enemy. Maybe you should look to your own leaders to, you know, lead. Oh wait, they are still casting doubt on the vaccine. Never mind. 

[Axie]

YO Meghan!  I just made an appointment for my second shot without contacting the White House!  Bite me!

White republican men are going to be convinced by democratic leadership, which they don't acknowledge, to do something that the people they DO respect, have told them NOT to do?  

How does that work, Meghan?

He should end the segment with "You know the drill. You have 24 hours to order and take advantage of these View Your Deals. After that, call your credit card companies and let them know you will have to declare bankruptcy. But get Oprah's favorite readers first! "

She wants it both ways. She wants the current administration to fix it all, but if they do something – anything not within her specificity – it’s wrong. She honestly acts like I did when I was...12. My parents pulled me out of that real quick. 

I wonder if the previous tactic of ignoring Meghan’s word salad nonsense isn’t working and the ladies are deciding to fight back. I feel like in the past few weeks they’d just ignore what she spewed as to not feed into it, but she’s so ridiculous it’s hard not to counter. Loved Sunny’s rebuttal and hope she does more of it. And Whoopi’s “frog’s legs” which finally got her to shut.up.

I wonder if Meghan was talking about the man she is married to.

[statsgirl]

I was disappointed in Dr. Murthy failing to answer questions today. Whoopi asked about not taking other medications before getting the vaccine something about not needing to. The reason is because at least 2 studies have found that if you take drugs like Tylenol or Advil that lower your fever, the immune response is not as strong as it would have been if you hadn't taken it. He also talked around Sunny's question of whether this vaccine should be on the list of required vaccinations for school instead of answering it directly.

I can't believe that I am saying this but thank you Whoopi for saying the Georgia election bill is based on a lie!

For frog's legs is my new go-to expletive.

What I wouldn't have given to see Twatty's face when Whoopi was saying that.

Twatty was just getting more and more strident before she got cut off, I'd say near tears because Sunny rightly called out her party for what they are. And she had no defense other than to again go to the well of whataboutism. And downright lies.

She actually thinks that refusing voters food and water is a good thing. She doesn't see what that byline in the bill means. Or what cutting the number of drop in ballots or early voting means. It's all good!

Loved Whoopie s statement on the GA law...well done!  Joy looked good today.  MM...the swawell thing isn’t the same as sex trafficking minors.  Her tirade on GA was also a bit disingenuous but what else is new?  The election board thing Whoopie mentioned is a big one too.  She was on a roll today!  Anyone else find adams voice annoying?  I think it’s supposed to be soothing, but not to me.

Very good! I wonder if before she and Steve got the vaccine, she didn't allow many people in her home, including limited makeup / hair assistance. That was probably the best she's looked since they were in-studio.

Well, yes.  If that is what he foresaw and he is trying to get the word out to people.  File under Doom and Gloom.  Heh j/k. In all sincerity though i would appreciate the honesty even if it was dire, to maybe get things together.

Did thouest only screech for one segment?  I don't recall anything after that, but that might have been when the blocker kicked in lol

[RealHousewife]

It feels good getting vaccinated earlier than Meghan and being younger than her. 

[bannana]

Here's an article about the awkward exchange with MeAgain looking stunned, and repeating: I'm sorry?

Quote

At this point, Whoopi had clearly had enough, and she could be heard saying, “Oh, for frog’s sake,” which seems like an odd phrase. Some speculated that the exasperated host wanted to drop the F-bomb, but is such a seasoned pro, that she knew to censor herself for live TV — and maybe for some plausible deniability. Because what happened next looked like some genuine technical confusion, but it also could be from Whoopi pulling off her stealth F-bomb that seemed to quiet McCain down.

She's all about the false equivalencies.  The Tobin's Zoom mishap was also a very bad comparison.   All reports was that it was a show for one that accidently became a show for a larger group.   It had 0% in common with the Gaetz stories.   For her to call out Sarah specifically for laughing at Tobin's story seemed very unnecessary and mean spirited.  

[bannana]

This article covers the bit where MeAgain calls out Sara in particular for laughing at the Toobin thing, although the writer left out Sara's name.

https://decider.com/2021/04/05/meghan-mccain-calls-on-matt-gaetz-to-resign/

Quote

But the conservative co-host also pointed to Representative Eric Swalwell and Jeffrey Toobin as examples of similar behavior, claiming that everyone thought it was “hilarious” when Toobin exposed himself on a work video call. “I think all things having to do with men and sex and them exposing themselves and showing photos, it’s a violation for all women, no matter the context,” McCain said. “It’s particularly disgusting and vile given that Matt Gaetz is on the floor of Congress showing it to people.”

Loving this speculation but have to quibble about the bolded.  Whoopi is a lot of things but "a seasoned pro" she is not.
