Meghan McCain, co-host of "The View," targeted President Biden for the dozens of executive orders he has signed since taking office last week.
During his first few days in office, Biden has already has broken the record for the number of executive orders enacted, addressing a wide range of issues including the pandemic, immigration, and climate change.
"I worry about this seesawing pendulum going back and forth where we're just using executive orders to legislate," McCain said before referencing a recent article from the New York Times urging Biden to "ease up."
McCain continued, "If you're Joe Biden and you're losing The New York Times on this and you've made 19 executive orders, as opposed to President Trump who did five in his first week, President Obama who did five in his first week, President Bush and Clinton who did zero, it may be time to start working with the other side."
"Because if you're just going to legislate the same way President Trump did, this isn't a sea change, this isn't healing, and this isn't coming together," she argued. "I thought the whole point of the Biden administration is that you weren't going to be like the Trump administration."

McCain also called out John Kerry, the White House Special Envoy for Climate, for his "deep hypocrisy" of owning a private jet while claiming to be anti-climate change, as well as his comments about eliminating jobs from the oil and coal industry to build toward green energy.
She then accused Kerry of being "deeply elitist" and added, "If it is this much of an existential threat as Joe Biden's administration is saying and many people believe... then you shouldn't be flying around in private jets."
