The hosts ofThe Viewhad a lot to discuss with Sen.Elizabeth Warrenon Tuesday’s episode, including panelistMeghan McCain, even though some on Twitter zeroed-in on one particular momentwhere it seemedthe Democratic presidential candidate was ignoring McCain’s questions.

… Not really.

It’s true that McCain, 35, seemingly couldn’t really get a comment in during a segment about Warren’s tax plans on the wealthy and how Warren wants to pay for her ambitious social programs. But elsewhere in the episode, McCain and the senator discussed Iran, the military and diversity in politics.

Warren, 70, joined the show to talk about everything from PresidentDonald Trump‘s surprisingairstrike on an Iranian generallast week to hisupcoming impeachment trialin the Senate andher 2020 campaign.

Leading up to the moment thatbecame viral fodderin certain Twitter circles, the Massachusetts Democrat was explaining her “wealth tax” plan (which would create an increased tax on Americans making more than $50 million) and the new programs that revenue could support.

McCain tried to jump in and “switch gears” back to a point co-hostJoy Beharhad made.

However Warren, who was looking in McCain’s direction, didn’t pause or respond as she continued to talk about her proposals, including expanding education funding.

Soon panelistSunny Hostin, who was seated closer to Warren, interjected with a comment as well as McCain kept trying to speak.

“We’ve got to switch really quick ’cause I have a question,” McCain said again, again unsuccessfully, this time looking off camera and smiling.

However, at other points in the interview, Warren and McCain discussed several things, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent comment about the tension in the Democratic Party between progressives and moderates and how the president should ideally respond to Iran.

McCain pressed Warren on whether Warren believed Iran’s Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani was a terrorist after McCain took issue with Warren’s statements on the matter. (Warren agreed that he was.)

The View’s studio crowd was filled with Warren supporters Tuesday, wearing campaign shirts and cheering loudly for her during a standing ovation.

“I know you came to see her. You do want to hear what she has to say, don’t you?” hostWhoopi Goldbergjoked as the crowd continued to cheer after Warren was introduced and sat down. “So, hold on — there’s plenty of time to hoop and holler.”

AsThe View‘s most conservative voice, McCain regularly debates with her more liberal-leaning co-hosts. Sometimes things get even more heated: She gotinto a viral verbal battle with Goldbergin mid-December when Goldberg told her to “please stop talking!”

“Do you want to hear a conservative on the show ever?” McCain asked Goldberg during their December spat.

McCain has said she often fears getting the boot from the show, even several years into her job.

“I go in assuming I’m going to be fired every day,” shesaid onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenin September. “Every single day.”

But McCain said she’s never felt like she’s actually come close to getting fired, despite her worries.
