Former President Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, rose to fame last year with the release of her tell-all book, Too Much and Never Enough, which gave a harrowing look into Donald Trump's upbringing and character.
This week, Mary Trump appeared on The Viewto discuss her new book, The Reckoning.
Noticeably absent from her segment was the show's conservative cohost, Meghan McCain, who will withdraw from The View at the end of this week, concluding a tumultuous four year run that often earned her the ire of the internet.
Mary Trump took a swipe at McCain while discussing the Republican party's use of racism to motivate its voter base.
Watch below.

Ms. Trump said:
"We need to continue having the kinds of conversations about race and gender that you have. This is an incredibly powerful platform. ... It's a shame that your colleague didn't have the courage to come on and have this conversation with me."
As "Mary Trump" began to trend on Twitter, McCain tweeted a countdown to her final appearance on the show, accompanied with a GIF from Mad Men.

In a prior appearance on the show, Mary Trump and McCain had a tense interaction in which McCain accused her of exaggerating her relationship to the Trump family and excoriated her for having dinner with them at the White House. Trump responded that McCain's characterization was "absurd."
Once again, people found themselves siding with Mary Trump.

Meghan McCain didn't come on The View today, because she didn't want that smoke with Mary Trump.\n\nIt's easy for her to dismiss the other women on the show who are of color and more progressive -- but going face-to-face with another white women from same ire would have melted her.— Ernest Owens (@Ernest Owens) 1627926873

People don't seem sorry to see McCain go.
There will be so much less self-righteous whining on The View when Meghan's gone.— Patricia Prokop (@Patricia Prokop) 1627931276
What a disappointing reaction after the show has for the most part been good to you these past four yrs. A slap in the face to your cohosts and crew.— LOU E PETTY (@LOU E PETTY) 1627931242
Can\u2019t come a moment too soon.— elsa (@elsa) 1627931844
