There was a story going around Monday that the producers of “The View” are looking for a conservative woman to permanently fill the shoes left by Meghan McCain. Their problem is that they’re allegedly having trouble finding a Republican who is neither Never Trump (sorry, Jen Rubin) nor a believer in The Big Lie that Trump won the election. We immediately thought of a ton of women we feature regularly on Twitchy who could fill that role, but as RedState’s Kira Davis notes, that’s not what they’re really looking for.
I could throw a rock and hit a savvy, attractive, experienced, thoughtful, intelligent, reasonable female Republican/conservative pundit who would be fantastic on a panel show, but that's not what @TheView is looking for. They're looking for an idiot.

Someone who’d fit right in, then.
Couldn’t have said it better.

I'll do it! I know you said "female" and "Republican" but those are just words. It is 2021.🤷🏾♂️

This could be groundbreaking.
— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) December 28, 2021
Don't throw rocks at conservative women, Kira! That's what the View does.

Every comedy show needs to have that one character who’s willing to be the “punching bag” for the good of the show

You would be a perfect counterpoint, but like you said, you're not what they're looking for.

They are also looking for someone who is not prettier than the other hostesses.
— Francis Flea (@FrancisFlea) December 28, 2021
That narrows it down considerably.
They’re not looking for independent or critical thought, rather, just another wall off of which to bounce sound bites back into the echo chamber.

Yes indeed! They essentially want an echo chamber with one dissenter whose arguments are not good enough to drown out the wails of their collective narcissism.

A patsy

They want a caricature.

Liz Cheney will be available soon.
— Mike Young (@MikeYoungEsq) December 28, 2021
Liz Cheney will be available in 2022. That's if CNN hasn't already snatched her up.

.@mkhammer would be great on The View, but they wouldn’t dare. She’d mop the floor with them.

@IngrahamAngle would gut & filet them daily. But it would be too easy and a waste of her time.

The View doesn't want someone who could show them up on virtually every issue…
— Kyle deVries (@KyledeVries7) December 28, 2021
They need someone dumber than the other three and that is just an impossible task.
— Rik_N_Backer (@denniswenmouth) December 28, 2021
They are looking for a new Joy Behar who can claim to be conservative like @ananavarro
— Sinister Dreams 🗣 (@FlaRenegade) December 28, 2021
So, who?
Ok, we've established The View doesn't want a spitfire conservative woman. So…which mushy/RINO conservative would you recommend for the show?
— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) December 28, 2021
None. They don’t actually want opposing views. They’ll just be mean and rude to the next one too.
— BiasedGirl (@BiasedGirl) December 28, 2021
well that's why we want to send them the RINO
— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) December 28, 2021
Lisa Murkowski. She should be headed out of office soon, anyway…
— Christian Collins, MCTV 🎙 (@mediachristian4) December 28, 2021
Liz will do it.

Do you think that they could hire a man?

I dare @TheView to take HER on ! pic.twitter.com/JXicE0nGJs

This editor would love to see Christina Sommers take the gig.
Liz Cheney, she’ll need a new job soon anyway.
— susan (@susan09442735) December 28, 2021
Liz Cheney seems bound for a cable TV gig, but she might settle for a broadcast network.
