Daily Wire Host Torches ‘The View’ Over Claim Only Rich Women Can Afford Kids

The Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown doubled down on her support for younger women embracing traditional families, once again calling out the “out of touch” hosts of “The View” who had attacked her position the day before.

Brown joined host — and mother of nine children with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy — Rachel Campos-Duffy, on Tuesday’s broadcast of “Fox & Friends,” where she pointed out several of the fallacies in the claims made by the ladies on ABC’s daytime talk show.

Campos-Duffy opened the segment by asking for Brown’s reaction to the “peak elitism” exhibited by the hosts of “The View,” who had essentially claimed that only rich people could truly afford to have children.

Brown began by pointing out that the outrage had been directed at a short clip of a much broader conversation that was part of a panel discussion for the past weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saying, “I never expected that that was going to be my Monday. That clip that they reacted to … was a very short two seconds of the greater conversation that we were having, clearly taken wildly out of context and with the intention to continue pushing the anti-family propaganda on the women of our generation.”

She went on to argue that the women on “The View,” all of whom have children and are well off, were “out of touch” when it came to the average American woman and her family decisions.

“Elitism is the perfect word to describe just how out of touch these women really are,” she said. “Because most of them are married with children and worth millions upon millions of dollars — but they have the audacity to scream at you, like Sunny Hostin did yesterday, wearing an $800 jacket and lying to you, saying that childcare costs $400,000 per year. If that were the case, no one would be able to afford children.”

Brown, who has one child, went on to say that her real concern was cohost Whoopi Goldberg and the fact that she’d wrapped up the segment by scolding, “‘Isabel, how dare you tell women to want to have children, if you’re saying that, I’m going to send you back to the past.’ So it’s always about choice for these people, until that choice is the beauty and the joy and the purpose of marriage and motherhood, which of course we should be encouraging people to strive for.”

Brown and Campos-Duffy went on to discuss studies showing that, by far, the happiest people are women who have embraced marriage and motherhood — especially those who have made career sacrifices to ensure that their families come first.

“This is something that the left doesn’t want us to talk about,” Campos-Duffy said, arguing that they saw the rise of young families as a threat.

“We’re claiming that we live in the most empowered time for women in all of human history, and yet the only level of empowerment that they are willing to give you is if you forgo committing your life to your best friend and bringing new life into the world through the miracle of pregnancy and motherhood,” Brown agreed.
