McCain scolds Behar on ‘The View’: ‘Part of your job is to listen to me’

Meghan McCain and Joy Behar continued their war of words on “The View” on Monday during a discussion on immigration that got so heated at one point that McCain told Behar part of her job “is to listen to me” as the two were arguing over aid to Central American countries.

“This is a hard-line issue for people who live in border states,” McCain said regarding the immigration debate. “[For] many friends of mine, this is the number one and only issue.”

{mosads}”Keep them there happy,” Behar said. “Give them a house, give them food, help them, help their children — ”

“Give a Nicaraguan a house?” McCain injected. “Well, we’ve had a bunch of liberal guests who do not want to send in aid at all — ”

“Hold on, I’ve listened to you, just let me finish,” Behar shot back. 

“Yeah, well, part of your job is to listen to me … I’m just saying,” McCain replied. 

Fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg jumped in to cool down the conversation. 

“Here’s the deal, here’s what’s not going to happen today: We’re not going to do this. Everybody gets a conversation piece, everybody gets to say their piece and we don’t need to comment if we don’t like what we’re hearing. Just let folks talk.”

“So finish what you’re saying,” Goldberg instructed Behar.

“I forgot what it was now,” Behar responded.
