Given the "girl bye" reception her departure announcement received last month, it seems pretty certain that Meghan McCain is at the top of the list of least popular The View hosts of all time.
It would be hard to come up with a replacement for McCain who could possibly irk the internet as much as she did, but by golly, eldest failson of former Republican President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., just might have done it.
In a tweet, seen below, Trump Jr. suggested his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle take over McCain's spot, and that sound you hear is the entire internet screaming "LOL ABSOLUTELY NOT."
LOL, hey \u2066@ABC\u2069 even I\u2019d tune in to see \u2066@kimguilfoyle\u2069 do this. Kim vs the other 4 doesn\u2019t seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libs. \n\nChaos behind the scenes at The View as the show scrambles to find a 'Trump Republican'https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9811723/Chaos-scenes-View-scrambles-Trump-Republican.html\u00a0\u2026— Donald Trump Jr. (@Donald Trump Jr.) 1626996657
As always, rumors are swirling about behind-the-scenes drama at The View, this time because the show is supposedly scrambling to find a fittingly conservative replacement for McCain, whose tenure on the show concludes at the end of the month.
Traditionally at least one seat on The View's panel has been held by a conservative Republican. And according to the rumor mill, the shortlist for McCain's seat comprises a list of very conservative conservatives, including Guilfoyle and fellow right-wing nightmares Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens.
So Trump Jr. tagged ABC, the network that produces and airs The View, and did that good old-fashioned "Haha I'm totally making fun of this unless you're actually serious in which case I'm not joking about this haha" thing, throwing out his endorsement of Guilfoyle for the job.
He tweeted:
"LOL, hey @ABC even I'd tune in to see @kimguilfoyle do this. Kim vs the other 4 doesn't seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libs."
Oh wow, sick burn on the libs, Jr., good work.
Anyway, if the thought of Don Jr.'s unhinged girlfriend having a standing engagement on live television every day of every week horrifies you to your very core, you're not alone.
Twitter dragged Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle to absolute filth for the mere suggestion.
Well, it depends on which show they would have the \u201cTV face\u201c shown on?pic.twitter.com/njLmrMpSsK— Social_Spit (@Social_Spit) 1627075797

I really hope the View has a bit more self-respect than hiring Kimberly Guilfoyle. Megan McCain was bad enough and certainly tarnished their reputation but her? It would destroy it.— Missy McMurray (@Missy McMurray) 1627092016

I promise you that my wife & I will NEVER watch The View going forward if @ABCNetwork @ABC ever hires Guilfoyle as a replacement for Megan McCain. Period. There are very few people as toxic as Guilfoyle. I would imagine that the other current hosts would resign immediately.https://twitter.com/palmerreport/status/1418885622262075400\u00a0\u2026— waller\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 (@waller\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6) 1627125241

Oh God, no! I didn\u2019t think \u2018The View\u2019 could get worse, but this would do it.

@WhoopiGoldberg I plan to start DVRing The View again every day on Meghan McCain's last day. Kimberly Guilfoyle would definitely change my mind and I really miss watching y'all. Please no.

If ABC replaces Meghan McCain on The View with Guilfoyle, they can kiss the show goodbye! McCain is bad enough, can you imagine what Donald Trump Jr\u2019s girlfriend Guilfoyle would be like?

Jr. appeared to have forgotten the reception he and Guilfoyle received from The View audience.

Perhaps Jr.'s significant other might not be the best choice after all.
