Meghan McCain threw a tantrum in front of The View audience following an on-air spat with Whoopi Goldberg and then clashed with a producer during a commercial break, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The 35-year-old Republican paced and 'looked like she was ready to walk off the set,' on Thursday morning, a source told DailyMail.com.

The outburst came after McCain lashed out at Goldberg who compared Utah Senator Mitt Romney to the late John McCain, leading Meghan to quip that Romney is 'nothing like my dad.'

Tensions further rose when Goldberg, 64, snapped at McCain: 'You're half my age! So hear what I know!' McCain shot back: 'That's very dismissive. I don't understand what my age has to do with my political perspective right now. I just don't think it's very nice.'

As soon as the show cut to commercial, McCain got up and began pacing and had a heated conversation with a producer, as the source explained: 'There was definite tension on the set.'

The source continued: 'Meghan seemed like she was reaching a breaking point during the confrontation with the producer.'

Fellow co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin tried to stay out of the unfolding drama, apparently used to McCain's antics, the source said.

Things only calmed down when Whoopi went over to McCain to patch things up before the show returned, with McCain even fixing Whoopi's hair before returning to her chair.

Still, after the outburst, 'Meghan barely interacted with the other hosts,' the source said.

They added: 'It seemed like Meghan felt she was being attacked. I don't think she's going to last much longer.'

McCain joined The View in 2017 and quickly made a name for herself by getting into showdowns with her co-hosts.

McCain has exchanged many a heated word with her counterparts in Goldberg, Hostin and Behar - who she once called a b***h on live TV.

The outspoken conservative even admitted to having a 'very rough' few weeks, amid media reports about toxic relations on the set of The View.

On December 16, Goldberg snapped at McCain live on air and told her to 'stop talking' before she cut to a commercial break.

Addressing that incident on an episode of Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live last week, McCain claimed that Goldberg was 'having a bad day' and had 'apologized'.

'Whoopi is the anchor of the show and my life there and she always picks us up when we're down,' the pundit cooed. 'I adore her and I need her as the moderator.'

McCain went on to claim that she has no current plans to quit the show, but said she would do so if Goldberg decided to leave, saying: 'If she jumps, I jump.'

DailyMail.com previously reported that McCain has been the source of drama behind the scenes at The View for months, causing morale among staffers to plummet to an all-time low.

She tried to get The View's Emmy-winning makeup artist Karen Dupiche fired and was given the nickname 'Manic McCain and Elsa' by producers for her inappropriate outbursts and her 'cold and difficult' attitude, sources previously said.

McCain creating a 'toxic work environment' was reportedly one of the reasons why former host Abby Huntsman decided to leave last month.

Meanwhile, Huntsman blamed her departure on wanting to help her father Jon Huntsman's campaign to run for governor of Utah.

Huntsman had explained she was asked by her father Jon Huntsman Jr. (pictured together) to help run his campaign 'months ago' and initially thought it wasn't the right time for her. But over the holidays, she reconsidered his offer and accepted

After Huntsman announced her departure, CNN ran a report about their bitter feud and how Huntsman had met with ABC executive Barbara Fedida, telling her about McCain and that she wanted out.

McCain admitted to Cohen to having a fight with Huntsman, explaining: 'We did have a fight' but quickly added it was 'a very small fight and a friend fight, and all friendships have ups and downs.'

McCain went on to say she and Huntsman have since mended their long-time friendship, stating: 'We are very close. I just talked to her yesterday morning. She's campaigning with her dad.'

McCain denied claims that a feud was behind Huntsman's decision to quit The View, saying she was saddened by her pal's departure.

'I didn't want her to go, selfishly, because I thought she was an amazing co-host and just having a friend there has been lovely,' McCain stated.

'But it's been really emotionally taxing to have like our friendship used this way in the media. It's taken a real toll on me.'
