“The View” host Sunny Hostin used some of her time during Tuesday’s broadcast to scold guest Cheryl Hines about how “unqualified” her husband — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — is for the job he holds in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Hines had initially joined the ABC midday program to promote her own memoir, “Cheryl Hines Unscripted,” but Hostin quickly dropped all pretense as she unloaded on Hines, criticizing comments made and policies promoted by her husband.

Hostin used her airtime to smear Kennedy, claiming he was spreading “misinformation”, but Hines exposed how those labels were weaponized against him, even when he was right.

“Respectfully, your husband is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we’ve had in history. I think that’s very, very dangerous,” Hostin came out of the gate swinging.
“Why is he less qualified than an economist? How is that possible?” Hines referenced former President Barack Obama’s choice for that post, economist Sylvia Burwell.
“I think he is less qualified,” Hostin protested.

“He has spent his career studying toxins, studying people’s health, fighting for one guy who was using Roundup for his job,” Hines defended her husband.
“He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it’s just a very dangerous thing,” Hostin said before claiming, “I say it with the utmost respect.”
“Some of it’s good and some of it is not. That’s the point,” Joy Behar interrupted.
“Listen, we all have different views here. Yes. And when you say misinformation, disinformation, we could go back to COVID when —” Hines attempted to bring the conversation back to reality.
“He’s connecting circumcision to autism,” Hostin interrupted.
“May I finish?” Hines asked.
“Please,” cohost Whoopi Goldberg encouraged Hines to continue.
“When people, Fauci, people were saying when you get the vaccine, you cannot transmit COVID, it will stop COVID. And that was disinformation, misinformation,” Hines reminded them.
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin attempted damage control, saying, “We were also still learning about it. It was a novel virus we’ve never encountered before. Because now the doctors will acknowledge that it can.”
“And Dr. Fauci has a medical degree,” Hostin interjected.
But Hines was not finished: “At the time, they were censoring Bobby, because Bobby said, where’s the science to show us this? And there wasn’t any. But people attacked him and said, you’re wrong. So it’s like, let’s take a step back. I know that’s your opinion, and that’s okay.”
