The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; complained during Monday&#8217;s broadcast about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer diagnosis and people who might bring politics into it — immediately after which they injected their own politics by trying to make it about President Donald Trump.
Whoopi Goldberg started the ball rolling, reacting on the show to the news that Biden — who had just appeared on the show a little over a week earlier — had been diagnosed with an advanced and &#8220;aggressive form&#8221; of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.
Goldberg laughed off claims that there was any cover-up regarding Biden&#8217;s health or cognitive fitness, and then used a clip from his recent appearance — where former First Lady Jill Biden had been forced to step in and help him answer a question — as proof that he was fine.
She then complained that the new revelation regarding his cancer diagnosis would only &#8220;add fuel to the fire&#8221; for those who already believed that the Bidens had not been telling the truth about his condition. Her assessment was that it was time for everyone to simply &#8220;put politics aside.&#8221;

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; joined a number of other media personalities in claiming that President Donald Trump was only allowing 59 Afrikaners to claim <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spare-me-scott-jennings-scorches-dems-for-sudden-about-face-on-refugees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refugee status</a> because they are white — while also claiming that because the Afrikaners are white, they are not &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221;
Sunny Hostin addressed the issue during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast, complaining that the Trump administration had limited refugee status for Afghans and Haitians, to whom she referred as &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221; Hostin also took a swing at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she found it to be an &#8220;insult&#8221; that the former South Dakota Governor holds that position.

&#8220;For me, you know, I think one thing — having Kristi Noem be in charge of Homeland Security, in and of itself, is an insult, it&#8217;s just an insult,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;And I think something that we&#8217;re not talking about — enough about — is what Donald Trump did on Monday: the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation.&#8221;
Hostin went on to claim that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had disputed reports of land appropriation and racially motivated discrimination — despite the fact that Ramaphosa himself signed a bill into law in late January that allows the government to expropriate private property for reasons up to and including &#8220;to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources.&#8221;
The Afrikaners, according to Hostin, did not qualify as refugees. Instead, she referenced refugees from Afghanistan and falsely claimed that the program in place to grant protected status to Afghans &#8220;who helped us&#8221; during the war had been ended. In fact, the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/afghans-deportation-protections-ending/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> Afghan Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program is entirely separate from the more permanent Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program exclusively for Afghans who were allies during the war.
&#8220;And so the fact that Afghan refugees — people who helped us during the Afghanistan war — who helped us and protected our troops, that program has been dismissed. The fact that Haitians that are truly refugees, they have been denied protected status.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re not white people. That&#8217;s why they don&#8217;t want them here,&#8221; cohost Joy Behar suggested.
&#8220;She said it, I didn&#8217;t,&#8221; Hostin agreed.

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin, who criticized the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV on Friday because his views on marriage and the LGBTQ+ community aligned with the Catholic Church&#8217;s traditional teachings, appeared to reverse course after learning that he had black heritage.
Hostin, who has often touted her own &#8220;devout&#8221; Catholic faith in spite of her support for abortion and other social issues not embraced by the Church, said it was a &#8220;chef&#8217;s kiss&#8221; moment when she&#8217;d learned that Pope Leo XIV — formerly known as Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago — had &#8220;Haitian and black roots.&#8221;

&#8220;There&#8217;s one other thing that&#8217;s also very interesting to me because President Trump, as you remember, called Haiti a certain type of country,&#8221; Hostin began, recalling Trump&#8217;s assertions that Haiti was a &#8220;s***hole country.&#8221;
&#8220;As it turns out, our new American pope has Haitian and black roots! So, we actually have a black pope! Apparently — it&#8217;s like a chef&#8217;s kiss for me — so apparently both of his maternal grandparents are described as black, Haitian, or mulatto in several census documents. And on their marriage license, his birth — the grandfather&#8217;s birthplace is Haiti, listed as Haiti, her birthplace is listed as born in New Orleans. They were identified as people of color, but in 1920 when they migrated to Chicago, the census reflected their race as white.&#8221;
&#8220;So I&#8217;m loving everything about this new pope,&#8221; cohost Ana Navarro interjected.
&#8220;So, I’m loving it. I’m really enjoying it,&#8221; Hostin agreed. &#8220;And it’s good to have a black pope!&#8221;
Just three days earlier, during Friday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, Hostin raised her concerns about Pope Leo XIV — primarily citing his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/catholic-hosts-of-the-view-were-hoping-for-a-new-pope-who-was-less-catholic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous statements</a> about the LGBTQ+ community.
&#8220;I’m a little concerned about this choice for the LGBTQ+ community. In 2012, he gave an address to bishops, and he lamented ‘the popular culture fostered and sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel.’ And that’s a quote,” she complained. “And then he cited the homosexual lifestyle and alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin claimed on Thursday that President Donald Trump&#8217;s comments on his Truth Social platform amounted to &#8220;insider trading&#8221; and were specifically coded to give a heads up to his billionaire friends.
Hostin argued that because Trump had recommended &#8220;buying&#8221; when the stock market dropped — amid turmoil over his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs — he had been signaling to billionaires that they should buy with the expectation that the market would shoot up again when he put them on hold.
&#8220;I gotta tell you, I think what&#8217;s fascinating to me is that the corruption is just completely out in the open at this point,&#8221; Hostin claimed. &#8220;You know, because these kinds of actions where Trump tweeted out before this li&#8217;l pause, he said, &#8216;This is a great time to buy.&#8217; And that&#8217;s really a whistle to those billionaires or people that have money that can buy low and then the stock market prices go up, that&#8217;s generally called insider trading and that would ordinarily trigger an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.&#8221;
&#8220;We know now that that&#8217;s not probably going to happen because all of these government agencies have been, you know, destroyed and dismantled,&#8221; Hostin continued. &#8220;But someone with knowledge of an economic policy change that would cause the markets to shoot back up right before posting about how great a time it is to buy right before the policy change happened would certainly be guilty of insider trading in my view.&#8221;

ABC News host Sunny Hostin tripped over several of former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin&#8217;s glaring shortcomings and strategic blunders in her efforts to trash current Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over a Signal chat group that accidentally included Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
Hostin declared on Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; that nothing akin to the Signal chat mishap had happened while Austin was leading the Pentagon, and argued that was just proof that she had been right when she claimed Hegseth was &#8220;unqualified&#8221; to lead America&#8217;s military.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;You know, the thing is we all knew that Hegseth was unqualified for this job and he replaced a four-star general with over 40 years of experience, Lloyd Austin,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;And this would not have happened and did not happen on Lloyd Austin&#8217;s watch.&#8221;
&#8220;But what I will say is, to your question initially, Whoopi, these people need to be fired,&#8221; Hostin added. &#8220;They need to be held accountable. I remember when, following the July 13th rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when there was an assassination attempt on the president&#8217;s life, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said, &#8216;The buck stops with me,&#8217; and she resigned. She resigned. She didn&#8217;t put it on anyone else.&#8221;
&#8220;Pete Hegseth is the person that is responsible — yeah — he&#8217;s the person, as the Secretary of Defense, he is responsible for everything,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It was his decision to use that group chat to type out this highly sensitive information.&#8221;
Hostin failed to mention the fact that Austin was the one in charge when American troops were ordered to abandon Bagram Air Base — which could have been more easily defended — and funnel all military and civilian evacuations through the congested streets of Kabul and Hamid Karzai International Airport. That decision left Americans and Afghans alike vulnerable when a suicide bomber attacked near Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021, killing 13 U.S. service members and some 160 civilians — and wounding hundreds more. Not one person in the Biden administration has been held responsible for that — but Hegseth and his team have promised that &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/accountability-will-be-coming-secdef-promises-to-investigate-bidens-afghanistan-boondoggle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accountability will be coming</a>.&#8221;
Hostin also left out the fact that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pentagon-inspector-general-announces-review-of-austin-going-mia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Austin effectively went AWOL</a> (Absent WithOut Leave) for days, leaving a subordinate in charge while he was hospitalized, but failing to apprise the chain of command — namely the White House — of his situation.

ABC News host Sunny Hostin argued on &#8220;The View&#8221; that anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil should have the same rights and protections as an American citizen, referring to him as a &#8220;political prisoner&#8221; and suggesting that President Donald Trump was trying to have him &#8220;disappeared.&#8221;
Hostin addressed the issue during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of the midday talk show, where she claimed that Khalil&#8217;s status as a Green Card-holder afforded him the same rights any citizen would have and complained that the Trump administration — and the U.S. State Department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio — was overstepping in efforts to strip him of his immigration status and deport him.

&#8220;I love how you started this, Whoopi [Goldberg], because you started it with the law, with Tom Homan saying Americans, once you are here, especially if you have a Green Card, you are a permanent legal resident of the United States,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;Which means that you have the constitutional protections that every American citizen has — and that includes free speech, and it certainly includes due process from being disappeared.&#8221;
&#8220;And so I want to point out that on March 8th, a legal permanent resident who has a Green Card, his name&#8217;s Mahmoud Khalil, was taken from Columbia University housing,&#8221; Hostin continued. &#8220;His pregnant wife is due next month. Plain-clothed men in New York grabbed him into an unmarked car, then moved him to Jersey, which is something that is done in authoritarian governments, and moved him to Louisiana, which is one of the worst detention centers that we know of in this country.&#8221;
&#8220;He has said — there&#8217;s a letter that everyone I hope reads — calls himself a political prisoner. I believe that he is,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He wrote on March 18th, 2025, and what is so shocking to me is that this could happen to someone who is a permanent legal resident with a Green Card, with an American wife about to have an American child being disappeared because of — because he spoke out. Because he has his freedom of speech and because he basically spoke out and gave an opinion that now the State Department is saying is against our foreign policy.&#8221;
Hostin left out the reason Secretary Rubio had determined Khalil&#8217;s &#8220;opinion&#8221; ran counter to U.S. foreign policy — the fact that Khalil was affiliated with a group that rallied behind the mission of dismantling the whole of western civilization and had actively fomented anti-Israel protests that resulted in vandalism, violence, and threats against Jewish students and professors.
The ABC personality also left out the most <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/24/us-news/mahmoud-khalil-hid-ties-to-unrwa-on-green-card-application-feds-say-as-they-hit-anti-israel-agitator-with-new-accusations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent updates</a> on Khalil — specifically, the fact that when Khalil applied to change his immigration status and obtain his Green Card, he allegedly left out relevant information regarding his affiliation with several groups that would most likely have raised red flags.
Among those groups was the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, known as UNRWA, which had members who participated alongside Hamas terrorists in the atrocities that took place on October 7, 2023. According to the New York Post, Khalil worked with UNRWA as a political affairs officer as recently as 2023. Khalil was also reportedly working for the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon — another association allegedly left off his application — at the time he applied to change his immigration status. Additionally, the State Department has alleged Khalil never revealed ties to the anti-Israel group that disrupted things at Columbia University over the last year: Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
Rubio laid out the State Department&#8217;s case shortly after Khalil was taken into custody, saying that if Khalil had revealed his plans to engage in such activities on his visa application, it would have been denied — and by that logic, Rubio declared that it could be revoked for the same reason.

Hostin made the point during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC shortly after boasting that she hadn&#8217;t even watched the president&#8217;s remarks in an effort to deny him the ratings.
&#8220;While I didn&#8217;t watch it, I was looking for signs of an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must be at this point,&#8221; Hostin declared. &#8220;Not a resistance, because resistance is passive.

Sunny Hostin claimed on Monday that it was &#8220;un-Godly&#8221; and &#8220;not Christian&#8221; to oppose woke culture, arguing that people who did so only proved that they did not care about their neighbors.
Hostin and &#8220;The View&#8221; cohost Whoopi Goldberg discussed their own personal histories, saying that because they had always been around people who were fighting for things like Civil Rights and other issues, they had &#8220;never been asleep.&#8221;

&#8220;To be woke is a word that came out of the African American community and it was about being — acknowledging social justice inequities, acknowledging people&#8217;s suffering,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s not a bad thing to care about other people, to care about the sufferings of others, and to act upon it.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin claimed on Thursday that President Donald Trump wanted to gut the Department of Education because his end goal was to foster the growth of a &#8220;permanent underclass&#8221; of uneducated laborers.
Hostin made the comments during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC News midday talk show — even as Linda McMahon, Trump&#8217;s choice to serve as Secretary of Education, sat on Capitol Hill taking questions about how she planned to lead the department if confirmed.
Responding to Trump&#8217;s assertions that he would prefer to ultimately dismantle the federal Department of Education — turning the power over to the states — Hostin argued that he&#8217;d gotten the idea from Project 2025 despite his repeated insistence that he&#8217;d never even read it.
&#8220;You know, getting rid of the Department of Education is actually the first goal listed in the education section of Project 2025 &#8230; We warned everybody,&#8221; she said. &#8220;She also argued that the Department of Education wouldn&#8217;t actually save very much money because it was small compared to other government agencies.

Hostin followed that with her claim that the real reason Trump planned to ax the department was to reduce the number of American children who are provided a good education.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not really about saving money,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think there&#8217;s a much more nefarious reason for it.&#8221;
&#8220;Which is?&#8221; cohost Joy Behar asked.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s because they — without education, you get cheaper labor,&#8221; Hostin insisted. &#8220;I think what they want to do is to create in the United States a permanent underclass, a permanent cheap workforce, because educated workers cost more. That is the bottom line and that is what they&#8217;re doing.&#8221;
McMahon addressed that point during her hearing, saying that she believed — as she said Trump also did — that &#8220;the best education is closest to the child.&#8221;

‘The View’ Host Floats Bizarre Theory Why Trump Would Ax Education Dept

Department of Education

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin complained during Monday&#8217;s show about some resurfacing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-jd-step-in-to-get-doge-staffer-back-after-journo-tries-to-destroy-him">racially-charged posts</a> made by one of the young men billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk brought in to work on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project.
Hostin has repeatedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-profoundly-disturbed-by-trump-win-blames-uneducated-white-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attacked white women</a> from her perch at the ABC News midday talk show – even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/do-they-want-to-live-in-a-handmaids-tale-sunny-hostin-screams-at-white-women-compares-them-to-roaches-voting-for-raid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comparing them on one occasion to roaches</a> — but during Monday&#8217;s broadcast, she poured on the sarcasm.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize racism was okay,&#8221; she snarked. &#8220;I&#8217;ve often said I&#8217;ve never met a racist who says, &#8216;Hi, I&#8217;m a racist.&#8217; Now I have met a racist who says, &#8216;Hi, I&#8217;m a racist.'&#8221;

&nbsp;
Several in the audience and around the table laughed as Hostin continued, &#8220;But I will say this: I&#8217;m so tired of this notion that a white man doing something like this at age 25 is a kid doing it, because your frontal lobe is fully developed at 25, you are a graduate of Rutgers University. You&#8217;re an engineer. You have had several positions, jobs, with Elon Musk. You are not a kid. You are a man.&#8221;
&#8220;And so this notion that, oh, well, he made childish mistakes and it shouldn&#8217;t ruin his life because he&#8217;s just a kid, really there&#8217;s a juxtaposition which, how they do treat black boys,&#8221; Hostin claimed. She made no effort to explain why many on the Left still refer to Michael Brown — who was a legal adult (18) and was six feet, four inches tall, and 292 pounds when he physically assaulted a police officer — as a &#8220;child.&#8221;
&#8220;Black kids are often treated as adults when they actually are children,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;So I really, really noticed that. And the other thing I&#8217;ll say is the engineering DOG team under Elon Musk —&#8221;
&#8220;Doggy,&#8221; cohost Whoopi Goldberg corrected her as the audience laughed.
&#8220;Doggy team. The oldest person is 25. They range in age from 19 to 25, and they are the ones that have the access to our most serious sensitive information and they have no real work experience. What happened to a meritocracy? What happened to that?&#8221; Hostin asked then, apparently suggesting that &#8220;merit&#8221; was somehow contingent on age and work experience.

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin floated a conspiracy theory on Friday&#8217;s show, decrying the NFL&#8217;s plan to remove the end zone &#8220;End Racism&#8221; slogan that has been present on the field since 2021, claiming that it had been axed in an effort to appease President Donald Trump.
The conversation began with an obviously disappointed Whoopi Goldberg announcing that Trump was to be the first sitting president to attend the NFL&#8217;s big game in New Orleans on Sunday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Goldberg complained that the league had opted to remove the &#8220;end racism&#8221; slogan, replacing it with &#8220;choose love&#8221; at one end and &#8220;it takes all of us&#8221; at the other — and noted that the NFL had stated it had nothing whatsoever to do with Trump.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a little fishy and shady,&#8221; Hostin replied. She went on to say that the league had announced the decision based on recent tragedies including the fires in Los Angeles, the plane crash at Reagan National Airport, and the terrorist attack in New Orleans — and while she agreed that those victims should be honored, she objected to the manner in which it was being done.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how &#8216;choose love&#8217; and &#8216;it takes all of us&#8217; relates to that,&#8221; she said, adding that she absolutely believed the slogan being removed was related to Trump&#8217;s attendance. She then said that she did not believe that &#8220;racism is over,&#8221; suggesting that the old slogan was more needed.
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on the issue, arguing that &#8220;hashtag activism&#8221; in general was &#8220;lazy&#8221; and didn&#8217;t actually accomplish anything tangible. She also pointed to a recent interview with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who said that even as the federal government and numerous major corporations are putting an end to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the NFL plans to maintain its DEI policies.

The conversation rounded out with a brief discussion in which it was revealed that despite the strong opinions of the others at the table, Griffin was the only one present who actually knew when the slogans had first appeared on the field.

'The View' Host Is Absolutely Certain The Super Bowl Removed 'End Racism' Slogan Because Of Trump

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; aired what amounted to a collective temper tantrum on Tuesday, complaining about the fact that President Donald Trump had unshackled federal agents and tasked them with enforcing immigration law.
The broadcast began with regular host Whoopi Goldberg, who responded to actress Selena Gomez&#8217; tearful video claiming that her &#8220;people&#8221; were being attacked. Goldberg then falsely claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were indiscriminately sweeping up any and all illegal immigrants for immediate deportation.
Border czar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homan-ice-has-made-1300-arrests-including-pedophiles-gang-members-and-at-least-1-terrorist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Homan</a>, who spoke to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo last week, explained that the agents are targeting criminal aliens first — meaning those who have committed additional crimes beyond simply entering the United States illegally — but that because some of them are hiding in sanctuary jurisdictions, there have also been some &#8220;collateral&#8221; arrests.
Goldberg complained that the Trump administration was not beginning by deporting people who were already in prison because they&#8217;d been convicted of crimes. Joy Behar, ignoring the fact that they were American citizens and had already been pardoned, claimed that Trump couldn&#8217;t do that because he&#8217;d &#8220;have to send the January 6th people back too.&#8221;

Sunny Hostin pivoted to play the race card, claiming that &#8220;undocumented immigrants&#8221; statistically committed fewer crimes than American citizens, and then parsed the language to say that it was racist to call someone &#8220;illegal&#8221; and argued that illegal aliens should not be called &#8220;criminals&#8221; because crossing the border illegally was technically a &#8220;civil offense.&#8221;
