Actress Eva Longoria told &#8220;The View&#8221; co-hosts on Tuesday that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is &#8220;good for business&#8221; and remains a priority for her.
Co-host Joy Behar asked Longoria about her production company as DEI initiatives are being &#8220;stripped away&#8221; by President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. The former &#8220;Desperate Housewives&#8221; actress said DEI is both a smart business practice and a “moral” way to push back against &#8220;historical exclusion.&#8221;
&#8220;We have to remember why DEI was created and it was to correct historical exclusion which was not just about Latino or black, it&#8217;s women, it&#8217;s disabled, LGBTQ+, it&#8217;s a lot of marginalized communities that never get to tell their stories,&#8221; Longoria said.
When Behar asked why DEI was being phased out, the actress replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, because it&#8217;s bad business. It&#8217;s not just a moral imperative, like I do it because it&#8217;s morally right, I want authentic storytelling, I want the people who have lived these stories to tell them. But we are creating programming for the most diverse audience ever in the history of the world and so it&#8217;s not just a moral imperative, it&#8217;s just good business.&#8221;
Longoria concluded, &#8220;At the end of the day, I&#8217;m a businesswoman, so why wouldn&#8217;t you want to create for the growing market, not the shrinking market?&#8221;
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in, saying, &#8220;Also, you know, you can say it&#8217;s going away. We&#8217;re not going anywhere. So we&#8217;re gonna keep making the movies we wanna make and telling the stories.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Despite Longoria’s claims, DEI initiatives have led to several huge flops for the companies pushing the concept the hardest, with the latest example being Disney’s new progressive version of the 1937 animated classic “Snow White.” 
The film has so far <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt6208148/">earned</a> $84.9 million domestically and $109.5 million worldwide, meaning it hasn’t recouped its estimated $410 million production and promotional budget. Disney is expected to lose about <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/snow-white-flop-much-money-075548439.html">$115 million</a> on the project. 
Several factors likely contributed to the remake’s abysmal results. First, the actress playing the film’s titular star, Rachel Zegler, is not white but of mixed heritage and part Latina. She also made controversial statements about politics and current events, including saying she hoped Trump supporters “never know peace.” She also mocked the source material for the movie she was starring in, calling Prince Charming a “stalker” and saying the new version of “Snow White” wouldn’t resemble the original. 
“We have a different approach to, what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story,” Zegler said in part. “[Snow White is] not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” she continued. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”

Whoopi Goldberg appeared to stun her cohosts into silence when she put a positive — even passionate — spin on President Donald Trump&#8217;s stated goal of eventually dismantling the federal Department of Education.
During Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, Goldberg — who still refuses to even say Trump&#8217;s name aloud on the air — said that getting rid of the Department of Education could be a net positive if it served as a catalyst to get more people involved and engaged at the local level to make sure kids were getting what they needed.

&#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;

Regular MSNBC guest and justice correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal claimed on Tuesday that virtually all laws passed prior to 1965 should be considered &#8220;presumptively unconstitutional.&#8221;
Mystal made the assertion during a conversation on the ABC midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; while discussing his new book, &#8220;Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America&#8221; — and he argued that any law passed prior to the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be thrown out because until that law passed, &#8220;we were an apartheid country.&#8221;

&#8220;One of the laws you write about is playing out right now — the Immigration and Nationality Act,&#8221; cohost Sunny Hostin said. &#8220;Now, this administration is using this statute to justify the detentions and possible deportations, actually, of visa and Green-Card holders who they seek to deem a threat to U.S. foreign policy. What do you make of the administration&#8217;s use of the act, and, more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown, which is what Whoopi&#8217;s been talking about?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, absolutely,&#8221; Mystal declared. &#8220;One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional, right? Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country. Not everybody who lived her could vote here.&#8221;
&#8220;So why should I give a **** about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s?&#8221; he asked.
Mystal followed up his appearance on &#8220;The View&#8221; with a racially-charged post on X claiming that his book &#8220;seems to have pissed off the white wing so, as usual, I&#8217;m doing something right.&#8221;
Mystal often appears on MSNBC, and even joined network host and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele just two days prior to joining &#8220;The View.&#8221; During that appearance, he claimed that the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens and gang members amounted to &#8220;fascism.&#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.

Joy Behar claimed on Thursday that President Donald Trump was the first sitting president in her lifetime to publicly trash his predecessor.
The regular cohost, apparently forgetting the eight years former President Barack Obama spent blaming former President George W. Bush for pretty much everything, made the comments on Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC News midday talk show &#8220;The View.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Behar began by complaining that people within the Trump administration were publicly highlighting former President Joe Biden&#8217;s failures — as they implemented policy changes to turn things around — and argued that because Biden was no longer in office, they should get over it and stop talking about him.
&#8220;They also have a tendency to place the blame on the Biden administration. It&#8217;s like, move on, that ship has sailed,&#8221; she demanded. &#8220;I never remember in my lifetime a sitting president trashing a previous president. I&#8217;ve never heard that before. You never heard — you know — Ronald Reagan didn&#8217;t do it, their Saint Ronald.&#8221;
&#8220;But it&#8217;s the common enemy, it&#8217;s what drives their base together,&#8221; Sara Haines interjected, apparently suggesting that Republicans were only bonded together by their hatred for the Biden administration.
Behar — and Haines — appear to have forgotten much of what transpired between 2009 and 2016, when Obama repeatedly blamed his predecessor for his own economic woes.
&#8220;We inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, a banking system on the verge of meltdown. We had lost 4 million jobs by the time I was sworn in and would then lose another 4 million in a few months right after I was sworn in before our economic policies had a chance to take root,&#8221; he complained.
He also claimed it was Bush&#8217;s fault that &#8220;the efforts to apply pressure on Iran were in tatters&#8221; — a problem he purported to solve by giving billions of dollars in cash to the world&#8217;s leading sponsor of global terrorism and allowing them to edge closer and closer to developing their own nuclear weapons.
President Joe Biden, in turn, spent a fair amount of time between 2021 and 2024 blaming Trump for inflation and for the unemployment rate that was largely driven by COVID-era shutdowns implemented at the state and local levels.

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.

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; routinely panic about policies implemented and actions taken by President Donald Trump and his administration, but Thursday&#8217;s broadcast took a strange turn as they fretted about efforts he&#8217;d made since returning to the presidency to redecorate the Oval Office.
Cohost Joy Behar complained that Trump had become &#8220;the redecorator-in-chief,&#8221; claiming she did not even trust the president with his famous Diet Coke button, much less the &#8220;nuclear button.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s like the interior-decorator-in-chief now. And forget the nuclear button, I don&#8217;t even trust him with the button that gets him a Diet Coke. So &#8230; he has plans to completely retool the Kennedy Center also, have you heard that?

The Democrats continue to just flail around.
It is truly amazing and amusing to watch them flail.
Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, wrote a book about anti-Semitism. I usually don’t do “as a Jew,” but, as a Jew myself, the answer is no, Chuck.
You do not get to speak as a Jew about how you&#8217;re fighting anti-Semitism while you green-lit the Iran nuclear deal, made room for every anti-Israel, anti-Semitic person in your party, and refused to condemn the worst excesses of your own party.
The answer is no. Absolutely not.
Schumer had to postpone his book tour. Hilariously enough, the reason wasn’t that he has no moral leg on which to stand speaking about anti-Semitism. The reason he had to postpone his book tour is that so many Democrats are ticked off at him over green-lighting the continuing resolution.
That shows where violence is on the American spectrum these days, when even the Senate minority leader, a Democrat leftist, can&#8217;t face his own constituents in New York. Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/17/schumer-postpones-book-tour-over-security-concerns-00232634" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is postponing scheduled book tour events this week for ‘security reasons,’ as he faces intense backlash from the party base in the wake of last week’s government funding vote.”
That&#8217;s pretty incredible. When Right-wingers cancel events these days, they are doing so because of the violent Left. When Schumer cancels an event, it’s because of the — wait for it  —  violent Left.
I wonder, who is violent? I was told only the Right was violent, that the Right has a violence problem.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2161-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Schumer had planned several event stops to promote his new book, “Anti-Semitism in America: How I Did It.”
Just kidding.
His book is actually titled, “Anti-Semitism in America: A Warning.”
But none of this stopped Schumer from appearing on “The View.”
I have to admit: I am jealous that Schumer appeared on “The View.” It has been a lifelong dream for me.
I have a wonderful life. I&#8217;ve gotten so many things I want out of life, and I hope to get many more. And it&#8217;s a great life. But one of my unfulfilled aspirations as a human being is to be on “The View.”
It would make some of the best TV ever. Granted, it would be like intellectually clubbing a baby seal, but amazing TV.
Yet it was Schumer who was invited. Not because he&#8217;s a woman — I mean, I don&#8217;t know the answer to that, as only he can identify — but he was invited to talk about all of this.
He <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheView/videos/sen-chuck-schumer-defends-his-spending-bill-vote/1011871004224892/">explained</a> why he had not signed on to the filibuster of the continuing resolution: “There&#8217;s no exit strategy. How do you get out of a shutdown? Guess who determines it? Trump. Musk. DOGE. They&#8217;re the only ones, and one of the Republican senators told one of the Democratic senators, ‘You get us, you get us in this? We&#8217;re staying in for six months, nine months, a year till we decimate the entire federal government.’”
That&#8217;s not a horrible explanation as to why he voted in favor of the continuing resolution; if the government shut down, Trump would have the ability to decide who the essential workers are, and then fire a bunch of people. So that&#8217;s actually a pretty good explanation.
But host Sunny Hostin was having none of it. She ripped into Schumer. She was really irate because, as she sees it, what if Trump says “black”? You have to say “white.” If Trump says “day,” you have to say “night.” That’s how it works. 
“Governor Pritzker’s chief of staff Anne Caprara has said the following,” Hostin stated. “The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, right, and moderate, it’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave and it gives me no pleasure to say this to you because we are friends, but I think you caved. I think you and nine other Democrats caved. I don’t think you showed the fight this party needs right now because you’re playing by a rule book where the other party has thrown that rule book away.”
“True,” Schumer replied.
“So in my view what you did in supporting that GOP partisan bill that Democrats had no input in, you cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to gut Social Security, to gut Medicare,” she continued. “Why did you lead democratic senators to play by that book that the Republicans are not playing by?
So, that&#8217;s the battle inside the Democratic Party.
Get out the popcorn.
But if you thought that Schumer was on the reasonable side of the Democratic Party, I beg to differ. He mocked Americans who want to keep their money, <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/03/18/schumer_the_republican_attitude_is_i_made_my_money_all_by_myself_how_dare_your_government_take_my_money_from_me.html">saying</a>, “And you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don&#8217;t want to pay taxes.’ Or, ‘I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own, or my employees.’ They hate government. Government&#8217;s a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it.”
He raised his fists, saying, “We are not letting them do it, and we&#8217;re united.”
The fists of uniting. Go, go, Power Rangers.
I would like to point out that I agree with everything he accused Americans. Our team built our entire company. The government did not help us. The government provided the basic law and order necessary to the preservation of private property in the United States, and the protection of free speech. That’s everything the government provided.
We built it, not Chuck Schumer. He&#8217;s not entitled to our money. Schumer is not entitled to money I have earned on behalf of my family.
He is not entitled. I don&#8217;t think many Americans believe that Schumer is entitled to that money, or that he&#8217;s likely to use it in good ways.
The Democrats cannot help themselves.
And watching Schumer flail about and castigate Americans while his party is lost in space is pretty darn amusing.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) landed in the hot seat when he joined the hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; on Tuesday, taking heat from both sides of the political aisle over his recent vote to support the Republican-led Continuing Resolution funding the federal government through September.
Schumer had previously suggested that he was willing to fight the Trump-supported stopgap bill — even if that resulted in a government shutdown — but made an 11th-hour 180-degree turn and the measure ultimately passed. In the days since, he has received sharp criticism from other Democrats in Congress and in media who believe he &#8220;caved&#8221; — and some of the &#8220;The View&#8221; cohosts agreed.
Regular cohost Whoopi Goldberg, who voiced her displeasure during Monday&#8217;s show and had promised the audience a reckoning when Schumer arrived, began by demanding that he defend his decision to tell Democrats to vote for the CR.
&#8220;I knew it was a difficult choice and I knew that I&#8217;d get a lot of criticism for my choice but I felt as a leader I had to do it. Here&#8217;s why. The CR bill was bad, no question, and it allowed a slush fund which allowed money to be pushed around,&#8221; Schumer said, but noted that on the flip side, &#8220;If we cut off government spending. It would be devastation like we have never seen.&#8221;

Cohost Sara Haines said that she ultimately agreed it was best to avoid a government shutdown, but she attacked Schumer on another front and argued that if only a handful of Democratic senators were willing to vote with him, that did not say much for his strength as a leader.
&#8220;We aren&#8217;t seeing a clear leader of the party,&#8221; she complained. &#8220;Because even though I agree with you with your decision and I see why, but you were only able to get nine Democrats to go with you. How is that leadership?&#8221;

Cohost Joy Behar&#8217;s main complaint was the fact that Schumer&#8217;s actions had earned praise — however sarcastic — from President Donald Trump.
Attacking on yet another front was cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, who asked Schumer whether it might be time for him to go the way that former President Joe Biden had, and step aside for younger leaders to take the helm: &#8220;There seems to be a disconnect between the younger generation and some of the newly elected Democrats and yours. Do you believe that the party has confidence in you to continue to serve as its leader, and as somebody influential in helping Biden&#8217;s decision to step aside, do you think it might be time for you too?&#8221;

‘I Think You Caved’: Schumer Gets An Absolute Grilling On ‘The View’

'I Think You Caved,' 'How Is That Leadership?': Schumer Gets An Absolute Grilling On 'The View'

Whoopi Goldberg suggested on Monday that if President Donald Trump and his administration could deport terrorists and revoke the immigration status of anti-American agitators, there was no limit to who he could ultimately deport and exile from the United States.
Goldberg made the comments during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; just a week after the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-pro-terrorist-anti-semitic-visa-holders-will-be-removed-from-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved to strip</a> a pro-Hamas agitator of his Green Card and days after more than 250 gang members — associated with violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua and MS-13 — were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/these-are-the-monsters-trump-admin-deported-over-250-gang-members-to-el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deported to a mega-prison</a> in El Salvador.

&#8220;You just gotta keep your eyes open, y&#8217;all,&#8221; she warned, going on to imply that even American citizens were at risk of deportation. &#8220;Because if they can just come up and take somebody because they&#8217;ve made a decision that you&#8217;re supposed to be that person, any one of us could find ourselves being deported to some country when we&#8217;ve never been there.&#8221;
&#8220;Listen, you know, it is very clear to me that if we don&#8217;t continue to say we want — listen, I understand you want to clean out all the old, some bad stuff,&#8221; Goldberg continued, pivoting in an apparent jab at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). &#8220;I get it, but why do you now have access to my personal information? I get what the things you are trying to do, I don&#8217;t understand why you&#8217;re taking my stuff. My personal — not mine personally, but each and every one of you! And your Constitutional right to free speech.&#8221;
Goldberg kept going down the rabbit hole, asserting that conservative claims of government censorship of their speech — which President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration bragged about doing and multiple social media platforms admitted to aiding in their efforts — were bogus.
&#8220;In fact, you&#8217;re doing the same thing you&#8217;re accusing everyone else of doing,&#8221; she lectured. &#8220;And you&#8217;re doing it in a way we&#8217;ve never seen before because very few people have kept you from speaking out.&#8221;

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; were at their wits&#8217; end on Monday as they discussed the Republican-led Continuing Resolution that passed on Friday, ensuring that the federal government would be funded until September, complaining that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had some explaining to do.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg led the charge, saying that she planned to have a heart-to-heart with Schumer when he comes to the set for a Tuesday appearance on the midday talk show.
&#8220;So Senator Schumer is going to be here tomorrow, so we&#8217;ll have – yeah — so we&#8217;ll have a lot to talk about,&#8221; Goldberg said, prompting a few laughs from the audience.

Cohost Sara Haines defended Schumer, arguing that allowing the government to shut down would likely have ultimately hurt Democrats.
&#8220;I think that he had two awful options, and this was the one that he chose, and I actually agree. A government shutdown never looks good on the party that seems to be the one that&#8217;s asking for it,&#8221; Haines said, adding that by allowing a shutdown and inviting that criticism, Democrats would be &#8220;taking the target off their back, Trump and Elon Musk, and putting it all on the Democrats&#8221; instead.

&#8220;This is just take off all the guardrails and let them do whatever the hell they want,&#8221; Haines said.
&#8220;I think that when the Democratic base is hearing Chuck Schumer say, &#8216;The reason that I&#8217;m going to support this funding bill is because if not it&#8217;s going to give Trump and Elon the power to fire federal workers and to get rid of departments,&#8221; Navarro said, adding, &#8220;They&#8217;re already doing that! So it&#8217;s, like, me saying, okay, you know what? I&#8217;m going to get out of the shower but I&#8217;m not going to go outside and stand in the rain because I&#8217;m already wet.
