McCain added, "After he apologized, he went on Air Force 1 and continued to talk smack, saying, 'You know, you guys never give me any levity. You always want to be so negative.' Well, it's the press' job to speak truth to power."

She continued, "And just because Biden has gotten a pass so far — which he has, and continues to do — it is in no one's best interest to treat him like it's state TV ... That is the biggest difference between us and Russia."

In most scenarios, Goldberg would throw to another panelist, with Joy Behar most often ending up in conversational headbutts with McCain. This time, however, she opted to respond herself. "The thing that I never saw Trump do was apologize to anybody. And I will take it," Goldberg said.

Meghan McCain needs to be fired from #TheView. She is so disrespectful towards her co-hosts, especially Whoopi.
Ana Cabrera would make a great replacement.

McCain then interjected, "With all due respect. I don't care if he's apologizing. He just embarrassed himself and it looks like Trump."

When The View returned, Goldberg took a minute to address the tense exchange, saying, "I want to apologize because I was rude." She added, "I didn't need to say what I said and I apologize because that's not how I want to behave at work." McCain agreed with her sentiment and the show moved on.
