The women of “The View” are known for delusional takes, but when it came to discussing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they displayed a remarkable amount of restraint and introspection, for once.
Panelist Whoopi Goldberg began by calling the shooting “beyond devastating.”
“Our hearts, of course, go out to the family of Charlie Kirk,” she added, praising “politicians from both sides of the aisle” who spoke out “against the violence” and “urged Americans to come together” in the wake of the tragedy.
“Isn’t a fundamental part of being an American is that we’re able to express our opinions to each other without fear and this kind of horror happening?” Goldberg went on. “It seems to be something we’ve been seeing more and more of. It’s not even Left or Right. It’s just people being taken out because of their beliefs or their thoughts.”

Some of what The View had to say about Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination:
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I hope it doesn&#8217;t have a chilling effect whether you&#8217;re left or right on your ability to speak your mind. I know the one thing we all agree about on this table, we all share our… <a href="https://t.co/i7eNIuMfx7">pic.twitter.com/i7eNIuMfx7</a>
— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1966168993850446087?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2025</a></blockquote>
“Regardless of your politics, we’ve got to get to a place in this country where we see people we disagree with not as our enemies, but as fellow Americans with different viewpoints that we need to engage,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin chimed in.
She said Kirk was an “incredibly influential young activist on the Right” and that his death “is going to hit young Republicans really hard because he made them feel like when they were the lone conservative voice on campus, one of the only Republicans, that it was okay to speak up and say their viewpoints.”
Sarah Haines said, &#8220;He&#8217;d talk to people openly, who disagreed. So the irony of being violently killed while saying those words of what we need more of in this country, I know all of us agree on that part. There&#8217;s never a place for political violence.&#8221;
The tone of all the panelists was somber as they discussed the assassination.
“I can’t believe that someone would kill another person because they were speaking their beliefs. This is antithetical to who we are as Americans. The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason. We should be able to voice whatever opinions we have,” Sunny Hostin chimed in.
Goldberg ended the segment with instructions for viewers going forward. 
“All the things we’ve seen — the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the aggressiveness when they went after Paul Pelosi, the couple in Minnesota — this is not the way we do it,” she said. “We say this every time, but, somehow, it’s not resonating, and I hope that young Republicans never forget that they have voice. They have a voice. We all have voices. We should never ever be afraid. It’s beyond, beyond. And Charlie Kirk’s assassin is still at large.”
