Meghan McCain takes heat after blasting liberal media in fiery tweets, responds with ‘Game of Thrones’ GIF
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The View" co-host Meghan McCain took heat on social media Monday for responding to an on-air spat with colleague Whoopi Goldberg by blasting liberal media -- but the conservative pundit doesn't seem to mind.
During a panel discussion about the potential impeachment of President Trump, a noticeably agitated Goldberg shouted, “Girl, please stop talking. Please stop talking right now.”
McCain obliged and stayed mostly silent for the remainder of the show but took to Twitter immediately afterward.

"Dems and Rs alike need to confront the ugly truth: both parties are failing to be impartial jurors," McCain began. "I won’t be quiet, even if the reality reflects poorly on the entire political establishment. I have a responsibility to speak for the 50% that feels media doesn’t represent them."
She then shared the latest polling on impeachment, showing that the majority of Americans opposed the ousting of President Trump, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, telling her followers that "pointing out things that are true is part of my job even if it angers people and even if it's politically inconvenient."

It all started when the daytime panel was in the midst of a segment about the potential impeachment of Trump when McCain repeatedly clashed with her "View" co-hosts. At one point, Goldberg tried to move the conversation along but McCain attempted to continue making her point.
