The View's Meghan McCain calls her own network's Bachelor franchise "extremely problematic" in wake of Chris Harrison's departure

Even though McCain frequently rails against "cancel culture," she didn't seem to have any problem with Harrison's ouster following his racial controversy earlier this year. What she and co-host Joy Behar did have a problem with is The Bachelor. “I don’t love The Bachelor,” said McCain. “I apologize to our parent company ABC, and I mean no disrespect to the wonderful work that’s done on this network. It’s an extremely problematic show.” She added: “There’s never any Asian people. There are never any Black people. There’s not a lot of Hispanic people. If you want to talk about body positivity I think there was like one contestant over a size zero who I now follow on Instagram. There’s no different bodies, different people.” Behar added: “This is a show where they hook up before they know each other for two seconds, they’re supposedly gonna get married, I don’t think any of them ever get married. But I don’t care, one way or the other.” McCain did say that Harrison could make a TV comeback, citing Nick Cannon and the work he did after his anti-Semitic remarks controversy last summer. “There are stories like this where if you do enough work, you can be accepted back into polite society and daytime television,” she said. “We’ll see what happens with Chris Harrison and the kind of work he does and maybe he can have a daytime talk show like Nick Cannon.”
