“In the thirty-three years we shared together, he raised me, taught me, corrected me, comforted me, encouraged me, and supported me in all things,” she said. “He taught me how to live. His love and his care, ever present, always unfailing, took me from a girl to a woman — and he showed me what it is to be a man.”

Earlier this month, Meghan opened up about what prompted her exit fromThe View. At the end of her time on the show, McCain said it came down to being ostracized for her conservative beliefs.

Shetold PEOPLEshe hoped to swayThe View’s “toxic” nature. “I kind of feelThe Viewis like when the guy who has a bad reputation wants to date you and you’re like, ‘I’m going to be the one to change him,'” McCain said.

Of the sometimes volatile discourse on the show, McCain noted, “I really loved debating politics. I actually really love fighting, as long as there are rules. I don’t like it when it’s personal, and it started getting really, really personal.”
