The ABC talk show “The View” went off the rails once again on Friday as hosts Meghan McCain and Joy Behar argued over Rep. Liz Cheny (R-WY) fist bumping President Joe Biden before his State of the Union speech on Wednesday night.

Cheney fist bumping Biden got her backlash from Republicans, something that did not sit well with Behar.

“I hate her policies, but shouldn’t Liz Cheney be applauded for having the guts to take on this cowardly and endless coddling of Trump?” Behar asked. “I just want to get this straight,” added later in the show. “They’re upset because Biden isn’t reaching across the aisle, but when one of their own literally reaches across the aisle, they consider it a non-starter and possibly a disgrace.”

“Well don’t tell people to go up and be violent towards Republicans in restaurants and people in the Trump administration like Congresswoman Maxine Waters did,” McCain said. “So like, let’s call a spade a spade here. The left is just as bad. Please!”

“I don’t agree with that of course, but okay,” Behar said as she cut to commercial
