In another round of absurdity that only daytime television can serve up, the joyless crew over at ABC’s “The View” has unleashed a brand of discourse that leaves the masses shaking their heads in disbelief. This time, the co-hosts decided to dive into the colorful world of celebrity endorsements, specifically focusing on the bizarre relationship between former President Donald Trump and pop sensation Taylor Swift. Swift has recently thrown her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting Trump to shout out his preference for Brittany Mahomes over Swift. Apparently, the drama is hotter than a chili pepper at a summer barbecue.
The panel’s discussion, predictably lacking in any coherent insight, veered off into a tangled web of assumptions and racially charged commentary. Instead of analyzing the actual issues at hand, they settled into a melody of collective outrage over Trump’s remarks. They speculated, with no credentials to back them up, that women—particularly Swift’s fanbase—would soon be rocketing to the polls because of this celebrity spat. If reality TV and the gossip columnists were any indication, it’s likely that these co-hosts haven’t quite grasped the concept of appeal to voters.
The crowned queen of this trainwreck, Sunny Hostin, took things one step further down the rabbit hole. She audaciously tied Brittany Mahomes’ interracial marriage into the discussion, suggesting that the NFL star’s support for a “racist”—her term for Trump—was a flagrant oversight given her family’s racial background. Hostin’s comments echo a wildly regressive mindset that implies any person of color, or anyone married to one, should be unable to support a candidate depicted as the perennial bad guy by the left. This is not just patronizing; it’s a train of thought that seems intent on shoving voters into demographic boxes.
Let’s clarify something here. The term “racist” has been thrown around so freely within the media circus surrounding Trump that it has become almost meaningless. Anything that doesn’t fit the left-wing playbook regarding race and representation has been branded as such, without a shred of empirical evidence. If a person supports stricter border control or opts for policies that aim to protect their country’s sovereignty, it does not equate to racism. Yet, “The View” and their ilk continue to peddle this incorrect narrative, likely to distract from their own policy failures.

As if this mishmash of societal commentary weren’t enough, social media erupted with reactions targeting Hostin’s outrageous assertions. Accusations of race-baiting—a tired tactic from the left—came flooding in from users exasperated with the show’s consistent descent into farce. The notion that Brittany Mahomes should be held to some standard of political allegiance based on her marriage not only demonstrates a lack of respect for individualism but also betrays an alarming lack of understanding regarding personal freedom.
With all that has transpired, it appears that “The View” is not merely a source of entertainment; it has become a caricature of itself, a vessel for cultural derision draped in a cloak of faux intellectualism. It’s a reminder to the right that, in the spectacle of modern-day television, a glimmer of common sense is a rare find indeed. And as for the rest of America? They would be wise to switch the channel.
