Co-host Joy Behar heaped praise on Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg during Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” for “staring down” former President Donald Trump. Behar was referencing Thunberg giving Trump a steely look in a crowded lobby as they briefly crossed paths at the United Nations in New York on September 23, 2019.

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that the Republican Party was “not providing people any kind of a path to the future” with its continued support of former President Donald Trump as a leader. Co-host Joy Behar asked, “Do you agree that Trump is the leader of the Republican Party first of all, and the GOP is united behind him?”

After eight people were killed in the Atlanta area last week — including six women of Asian descent — Meghan McCain, cohost of “The View,” expressed regret about her previous comments that supported former President Trump’s anti-Asian rhetoric. “STOP ASIAN HATE” she tweeted Wednesday, punctuating her message with three broken-heart emojis. Thousands responded to her post with likes. But for TV host John Oliver, who opened Sunday’s “Last Week Tonight” by placing the shootings in the context of anti-Asian racism in U.S. history, McCain’s actions rang hollow.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Joe Biden “inherited” a mess on the U.S.-Mexico border from former President Donald Trump. Co-host Meghan McCain asked, “You were a vocal critic of Trump’s immigration policy of separating the children from their families at the border. You called it cruel and inhumane, and quote, ‘So unlike the America we have known.’ It happened under Obama, and kids are still being detained under President Biden, and his Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted they have to get their act together with their border policy. Why haven’t you...

I'm very sad to say that The Shrew passed away yesterday. I know there are some oldtimers here that would want to know and possibly share condolences and stories. He was one of the best.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck says she’s praying for former View cohost Rosie O’Donnell after hearing that the comedian once had “a little bit of a crush” on her.(snip) Portions of O’Donnell’s interview were published Monday by Variety in an excerpt of Setoodeh’s book. In them, O’Donnell balked at rumors that she and Hasselbeck were enemies on the ABC daytime show, explaining that she “loved” Hasselbeck and had “a little bit of a crush” on her. Though O’Donnell stressed the crush wasn’t sexual, she said there was “underlying lesbian tones on both [of their] parts,” pointing to Hasselbeck’s time as MVP of a...

CNN’s Van Jones was the guest on Thursday’s The View where he plugged his primetime weekend show aimed at bringing together conservatives and liberals. While he mostly argued the haughty Michelle Obama-esque “When they go low, we go high” approach for the left, host Sunny Hostin badgered him for that take, saying anything less than hostility to Trump voters was being “complicit.” The lengthy segment started with the guests naturally asking Jones what he thought about the White House banning his colleague Kaitlan Collins from the Rose Garden yesterday. He blasted the action, saying she did the right and only...

The ladies of ABC's The View unanimously defended liberal comedian Michelle Wolf's White House Correspondents Dinner routine on Monday. Whoopi Goldberg said there was a "brutal backlash" and calls for an end to the dinner. Joy Behar said "We were laughing our heads off here." Goldberg said "I chuckled a lot." Whoopi played "funny" jokes like "You guys got stop putting Kellyanne on your shows! All she does is lie! It's like that old saying, 'If a tree falls in the woods, how do we get Kellyanne under that tree?' I'm not suggesting she gets hurt. Just stuck." Michelle Wolf...

Friday on The View, hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar revealed they were still in denial over the 2016 election results. Discussing the leaked excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s upcoming memoir, the two die-hard liberals at the table clashed with moderate hosts Paula Faris and Jedediah Bila, over the reasons why Clinton lost the election. Joy Behar even went so far as to claim that Clinton really did “win” the election, while Whoopi went into conspiracy theory land, saying we would “never know” why Clinton really lost. The conversation started by discussing Bernie Sanders recent television appearance, where he told Clinton...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said that Democrats should try to impeach Vice President Mike Pence after they impeach President Trump on “The View” on Friday. “Do you think Pence will be better than Trump?” host Joy Behar asked Waters. “No, and when we finish with Trump, we have to go and get Putin. He’s next,” Waters said. “Putin or Pence?” Behar asked, confused. “Pence,” Waters said, correcting herself. Waters has been calling for Trump’s impeachment since February.

Nothing could make a liberal power couple’s hearts swell up with pride more than the sweet sounds of their young daughter throwing a pro-abortion hissy fit. That’s exactly what happened Tuesday on The View, when actress/comedian Ali Wentworth, married to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, boasted about how “upset” her young daughter was with Trump’s win. Wentworth bragged that the 14-year-old ranted and raved around their home afterwards, sulking about abortion and “women’s rights.” You know, the typical story told around the watercooler except on national television. As The View hosts tried to shift the conversation to Wentworth’s new TV show,...

On The View today, Joy Behar expressed her frustration with Democrats for “rolling over” when they still have a way to stop Donald Trump. She said that “the Democrats are not going to do what they have to to stop him,” citing the electoral college’s vote next week. Behar argued that the qualifying factors by which electors can reject Trump more than qualify here. Jedediah Bila immediately pushed back, with Haines saying the people spoke and Bila saying you can’t just overturn the will of the people, especially when there is nothing definitive settled yet about the success of Russia’s...

Tom Ford Refused To Dress Melania Trump When Asked In The Past And Says His Clothes Are 'Too Expensive' For Her To Wear As First Lady (Despite Making A Custom Gown For Michelle Obama) By Chris Spargo 30 November 2016 | One of America's most talented and iconic fashion designers has revealed that he has no desire to dress Melania Trump in his clothes - and has already refused to work with her in the past. Tom Ford stopped by The View on Wednesday to talk about his new film Nocturnal Animals, and also spent some time talking about first...

Barbara Walters will sit down with presidential candidate Donald Trump and his family for an hourlong interview set to air Friday night on "20/20," ABC said Tuesday. The wide-ranging interview will feature Trump's wife Melania in her first broadcast interview since her husband declared his presidential run, as well as Trump's children. A portion of the interview will air on "World News Tonight With David Muir" this week as well as other ABC News programs and platforms, including "Good Morning America" and "Nightline."

It looks like those elitist harridans on ABC's "The View" learned nothing from the national backlash over their mockery of nurse Kelley Johnson less than eight weeks ago. Guess they've already forgotten how major advertisers Johnson & Johnson, Party City, McCormick spices, Snuggle, and Eggland's Best all pulled spots from the show after co-host and lead Mean Girl Michelle Collins led a cacklefest ridiculing Johnson, Miss Colorado 2015, for a heartfelt monologue about her work during the Miss America pageant. In a craven attempt at damage control, the daytime divas inflicted yet more damage by blaming nurses and their supporters...

The Ladies Of The View (Try To) Pummel Ann Coulter(but watch all the hand signaling going on between Behar and Symone after Ann starts to get her message through....)

Appearing on the View yesterday, Glee star Naya Rivera raised eyebrows by saying that “showering once a day is such a white people thing.” The comment came after co-host Nicolle Wallace said that, as the owner of dogs and the mother of a baby, she finds herself showering more and more. Sometimes, Wallace said, there would be “mud” or “pee” in her hair, so she showers, even as many as “three times a day.” “You know, I have to say, I have a theory about showering, which is that white people shower a lot more than ethnics,” Rivera responded. She...

They might as well change its name from “The View” to “The Feud.” A shrill, backstage brawl at “The View” Wednesday left co-host Rosie Perez in tears while panelists Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell battled over how to cover the latest allegations against Bill Cosby and the racially charged upheaval in Ferguson, Mo., sources said. O’Donnell believed the show — now overseen by ABC News — needed to delve deeper into both controversial subjects, while Goldberg wanted to steer clear of the topics altogether.

An overhauled The View kicked off this morning with no fireworks, but, of course, it’s only Day 1. The show opened glutinously, with The New Ladies Of The View kissing the rings of Barbara Walters, sitting on a throne, who ordered them to “go out there and let them see why we have the best show in daytime TV.” (Babs stuck around for the rest of the show, looking sort of third wheel-ish, according to a source.) Whoopi Goldberg assumed her long-held position of air traffic controller, settling that question for now as to whether she or Rosie O’Donnell would...

JULY 19, 2014 A Thor Subject The comics industry grapples with attracting women readers. By Jim Geraghty The surprises came in a trio: First, Marvel Comics announced that the character of Thor, based upon the Norse God of Thunder, would become a woman. The second surprise was the venue in which the switch was announced — ABC’s feminine-minded daytime talk show The View — but perhaps that was predictable, considering that Marvel and ABC Television are both owned by Disney. But the third, and biggest, surprise is that anyone thought this was a good idea. “This is not She-Thor,” senior...
