‘The View’ Co-Hosts UNRAVEL Over Trump’s Election Victory: ‘Profoundly Disturbed’

Hosts Wear Black in Silent Protest

In the wake of President-elect Trump’s resounding election win, the co-hosts of ABC’s ‘The View’ are grappling with a mix of disbelief and frustration.

On Wednesday’s show, at least four of the women arrive dressed in black, creating an atmosphere akin to a funeral. “I’m profoundly disturbed,” Sunny Hostin shares, pointing to the New York Times headline, “America makes a perilous choice.” She adds, “We know now that [Trump] will have almost unfettered power.”

Hostin goes on to say, “I’m profoundly disturbed that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution did not prevent someone who participated in an insurrection from becoming President of the United States,” voicing concerns over what she sees as cultural resentment fueling the vote. She fears this administration may lead to “mass deportations and internment camps.”

Whoopi Refuses to Say Trump’s Name; Behar Expresses Disbelief

Whoopi Goldberg maintains her refusal to speak Trump’s name on air, telling viewers, “I’m still not gonna say his name.”

On Thursday, Joy Behar voices her disappointment over the election outcome, saying, “It’s pathetic… A completely intelligent, qualified woman lost to a guy who was simulating sex with a microphone. I mean, come on, America.”

Hostin and Griffin Clash on Election’s Significance

The co-hosts spar over the significance of Trump’s victory, with Alyssa Farah Griffin suggesting Democrats “missed the moment” by misjudging voter priorities. Hostin, unconvinced, pushes back: “They won but they’re morally bankrupt.” Hostin attributes Trump’s success in heavily Latino districts to “misogyny” and “sexism,” dismissing Griffin’s points about border-related issues.

Goldberg Blames Grocers for High Prices

Goldberg echoes Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent comments, attributing high grocery prices to corporate price-gouging rather than inflation. “Your grocery bills are what they are because the folks that own the groceries are pigs,” Goldberg declares, sparking reported backlash from grocery store owners.

Hostin Questions America’s Direction; Haines Highlights Disconnect

On Friday, Hostin passionately questions Trump’s supporters, asking, “What is wrong with America that they would choose a message of divisiveness, xenophobia, racism, and misogyny over a message of inclusiveness?” Sara Haines joins in, arguing that Democrats’ perceived condescension may have alienated voters, prompting Hostin to ask, “That message of joy and inclusiveness?” Haines clarifies, “No… [voters] didn’t vote for him because he’s a racist… They voted because they needed help in their everyday lives.”

Behar Jokes About Trump Voters; Navarro Calls Out Minority Support

Behar jokes that Trump voters would admit to being “racists” in exit polls, drawing a strong response from Griffin, who asks, “Do you really think 74 million people are racist?!” Ana Navarro then expresses disappointment in minority voters supporting Trump, stating, “Black people voted for somebody they know is a racist… Latinos voted for somebody they know is going to deport their abuela.”

Vice President Harris’ Comments Impact Debate

Hostin’s exchange with Kamala Harris last month may have contributed to her intense reaction this week. In her appearance, Harris said there was “not a thing” she would have done differently than President Biden, a response widely shared by Trump’s campaign as evidence that Harris represents continuity, not change. The exchange may have impacted voters nationwide and continues to be a point of contention.
