“The View” is the final word echo chamber.
The present’s far-Left hosts swap probably the most unhinged conspiracies, and fellow panelists hardly ever maintain one another accountable.
One stunning instance? Co-host Whoopi Goldberg as soon as mentioned President Donald Trump would finish interracial marriages with out a molecule of proof. That additionally ignores the truth that Vice President J.D. Vance’s spouse is an Indian-American.
That lack of accountability has been the norm ever since right-leaning Meghan McCain fled the present in 2021.
This week, “The View” mentioned Dangerous Bunny’s upcoming look on the 2026 Tremendous Bowl. The dialog turned to unlawful immigration on two fronts. The far-Left singer is an avowed ICE hater, having introduced he wouldn’t tour the U.S. so long as ICE was nonetheless arresting unlawful immigrants stateside.
Performing on the Tremendous Bowl? That’s one other story, apparently.
Plus, Division of Homeland Safety Secretary Kristi Noem says ICE officers shall be on the annual occasion.
That set off co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who served up a curious method to answer the lawful group’s efforts to implement immigration legal guidelines.

“Right here is the factor, all people, get a little bit cocoa butter, sit within the solar, that’s the very first thing. After which — and that is the one time you’ll be able to most likely ever do that, give your self a Latin accent.”
Did her fellow panelists share what a horrible concept that was or point out how uncomfortably shut it was to black face?
No. As an alternative, a girl who as soon as darkened her pores and skin however by no means needed to formally apologize for it, cheered on her co-host.
“, Whoopi, that’s such a good suggestion!” Pleasure Behar weighed in.
“And simply see — and see if she will be able to inform who’s who!,” Goldberg shot again.
Goldberg, oddly sufficient, isn’t a stranger to blackface controversies. In 1985, she and then-beau Ted Danson attended a 1993 Friar’s Membership roast. The “Cheers” star donned blackface for the ceremony, reciting racially-charged traces partially written by Goldberg.
The sketch raised eyebrows on the time, however within the mid-90s, Cancel Tradition wasn’t a part of the lexicon, and poor selections didn’t lead to woke Apology Excursions™.
On the plus aspect, Goldberg’s deranged thought didn’t pressure the panelists to utter new authorized notes to defend themselves from litigation.
