McCain, who left this summer after four years as the daytime talk show's conservative voice, told that and other backstage stories in a new book, “Bad Republican,” and subsequent interview with Variety. “It was a perfect storm of hormones, postpartum anxiety and a lot of demons on ‘The View’ coming out to bite me.” McCain said she had asked the show’s producers for an apology from Behar but was told none would be forthcoming. She wrote that the show had a “toxic” atmosphere and that “working at ‘The View’ brings out the worst in people.” McCain is the daughter of the late U.S. Sen. John McCain an Arizona Republican.
