ABC’s The View turned political again this week, as co-host Joy Behar took aim at Republicans — accusing them of being too “scared” to appear on the show. The remarks came during Tuesday’s episode, when Behar claimed conservatives avoid the program out of fear of facing “powerful women.”
“I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don’t want to come on, they’re scared of us,” Behar declared. She then invoked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), though she subtly altered Greene’s words to fit her narrative.
Behar paraphrased Greene, saying, “Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she finds the Republican men are afraid of powerful women.” She went on to add, “Well, that may be true of all the political persuasions, but if they would come on this show and they can explain to us what they’re trying to do to this country. I’d like to hear it.”
In reality, Greene’s statement had nothing to do with “powerful women” in general, but with conservative women facing resistance from within their own party. Greene had stated directly, “A lot of the men here in the House are weak. There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women. So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something and actually want to achieve.”
That difference matters — Greene’s comments were aimed at encouraging courage and conviction among conservatives, not feeding the feminist talking points Behar twisted them into.
Even some of Behar’s co-hosts seemed eager to steer the conversation back to balance. Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had previously appeared on The View and floated the idea of other potential conservative guests, such as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).
Sunny Hostin, another co-host, chimed in with her own suggestion, saying, “I do think it’s important that Robert Kennedy Jr. comes on this show. I think that would be important.”
Their calls for political diversity followed an appearance by actress Cheryl Hines — wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who faced pointed questions from Hostin about her husband’s decision to align with former President Donald Trump.
Hostin pressed Hines on what she viewed as an unlikely partnership, noting that Trump and Kennedy “didn’t have anything good to say about the other” before the endorsement. Hines, however, calmly defended the move, explaining that her husband “had a very difficult decision to make,” but ultimately realized that he and Trump “have a lot of common goals” after sitting down together.
“For instance, President Trump just passed Favored Nations [Most-Favored-Nation executive order],” Hines said. “We’ve been paying twice as much, ten times as much, for pharmaceutical drugs in America than other countries. So it was very important for President Trump, and for Bobby, to work together and say, ‘We’re no longer doing that. Americans are not going to pay more than other countries for our drugs.’”
That single exchange underscored a truth often ignored by mainstream hosts like Behar: when policies are judged on merit rather than party labels, there’s room for common ground — and for results that actually put Americans first.
But instead of welcoming open dialogue, The View continues to frame conservative voices as fearful or unwelcome. It’s a familiar tactic — turn disagreement into mockery, and serious political ideas into punchlines. Still, as Hines’ defense of her husband’s partnership with Trump showed, common-sense policies that prioritize American families can bridge divides — even in the unlikeliest of places.
If the women on the View would shut up and let the Republican people talk, maybe they might want to explain some things. I don’t as a general rule watch the View, because I can’t stand them! Once in a while, I see a clip on a podcast, and all I see is the women on the view interrupt, talk over, and never let the guess Republican finish even one sentence. They think they know everything and if anyone differs, they ALL attack them and belittle them. Then, of course, the cue cards tell the audience to applaud, making it look like the view women are always right. They are NOT always right – No one is always right – except God. No one in their right mind would volunteer to try to get a word in edgeways with these idiot “ladies” yelling at them all the time! Entertainment? I think not!
Anybody that agrees to be in that show and is a Republican, can only expect to be insulted and smeared with all the shi*t that you ladies spew out of that sewer that you call mouth.
