Whoopi Goldberg continues to take Meghan McCain to task for disrespecting the other hosts of The View, and Monday's episode was no different.
During a discussion of the impeachment process for President Donald Trump, McCain repeatedly cut off or loudly spoke over both Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin, leading to a moment that had the internet laughing and clapping.

Hostin was in the middle of discussing the hypocrisy of some Republican senators who voted to impeach former President Bill Clinton but have already said they won't impeach President Trump.
“You had so many senators that voted to not only impeach but also convict President Clinton for, yes, perjuring himself,” Hostin said. “Many of those same people are still in the Senate. I cannot believe they would vote to impeach and convict a sitting president for perjuring himself and they would not vote to convict a president, and remove a president, who clearly wanted to use a foreign government for his own personal benefit to impede our very democracy.”
“That is the height of hypocrisy for this Republican-led Senate,” she added.
As the 35-year-old touted her role as a political analyst for ABC, Goldberg tried to get control of the conversation with McCain refusing to stop talking.
"Girl, please stop talking," Goldberg said as McCain continued to speak over Hostin.
Well-known for relishing her self-imagined role as the victim, the ABC contributor said, "No problem, I won't talk for the rest of the show."
"I'm OK with that. If you're going to behave like this and talk over people then we're doing nothing," Goldberg replied.
Eventually, Goldberg ended the discussion by pivoting to a commercial break but not without McCain still attempting to be heard.
The tense moment immediately drew thousands of views on Twitter and Instagram, with many thanking Goldberg for putting the host in her place.

This is not the first time McCain has been slammed for being rude toward her coworkers. In October, Goldberg addressed the exact same problem, criticizing her for constantly interrupting hosts and guests on the show.
"This show has always had the ability to have different points of view which we respect around the table. And when we talk to each other, we also exhibit respect. When I'm saying to you 'hold up,' because we're not hearing each other, I’m not trying to cut you off, I’m trying to get you heard,” Goldberg said.
That moment similarly sent the internet into a frenzy.
Sunny knew what it was when Whoopi adjusted that seat, baby. https://t.co/vDGcTAqkXx

The producers know what they’re doing having Whoopi on the other side of the table from Meg (far enough not to snatch her up), but able to look her directly in her face. https://t.co/7X4MLQWQiC

When Whoopi adjusted her seat and said "Let me tell you about The View"–woo, I felt that in my bones. Megan, as usual, was not ready. https://t.co/9VzvLzyjPC

McCain later responded to Goldberg on Twitter, painting herself as the victim again.
Dems and Rs alike need to confront the ugly truth: both parties are failing to be impartial jurors. 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.

This is sure to become an issue again as we get closer to the 2020 election — so stay tuned.
