Donald Trump’s return to the White House is enough to send liberal commentators into a frenzy. The meltdown witnessed across social media platforms and mainstream media could have been detected via seismic activity sensors, should such devices actually monitor the sanity levels of “The View” hosts.
Sunny Hostin, a co-host on the left’s favorite daytime talk show, remained committed to her role as gloomy spokesperson for the outraged liberal base. Concerned for her retired mother’s Social Security and her daughter’s rights, she lamented Trump’s victory. Ironically, while Hostin claimed women’s rights were at stake, one must remember that Roe v. Wade once again threw the ball into the courts of individual states. Even if Vice President Kamala Harris had claimed victory, she would have been powerless to force states like Florida into compliance on abortion legislation. It seems Hostin and her fellow co-hosts are so focused on playing the victim that they missed the memo on state rights and the nuances of federalism.
The ladies at @TheView are now in complete meltdown mode – continuing to say Kamala ran a perfect campaign, but had to deal with the lies of Fox News, social media like X, and blatant lies from the right.

Amid this orchestrated hysteria, Joy Behar revealed an unexpected pinch of reality. For once, the co-host acknowledged that democracy took its course—voters made their decision, and the process actually worked. Interestingly enough, she expressed hope, which is a refreshing twist from the usual pessimistic narrative of Democrats trying to “right” the perceived wrongs of election outcomes. Maybe her next breakthrough will be acknowledging that the American people can and will make decisions that don’t always align with liberal ideals.
Then there’s Whoopi Goldberg, who scrambled for the silver lining in what she deemed a “momentous” two-month campaign season for Harris. While praising her paltry attempt at leadership, she conveniently ignored that Harris’s nomination was more about backdoor deals than genuine appeal to voters. And where was this “excellence” when Americans were looking to energize a campaign that needed far more than just warm, fuzzy sentiments?
Of course, the inevitable blame game is in full swing. Sara Haines has already pinpointed the “rogue corporations of social media” as the culprits for Harris’s dismal performance at the polls. It’s convenient how the left resorts to scapegoating external forces when their candidate can’t garner genuine support. As if voters were all mindless sheep swayed by tweets instead of exercising their critical thinking skills on their country’s future.
Lastly, Meghan McCain, the show’s former co-host, pointed out the glaring absence of conservative voices following the election results. The vacuum left by the exclusion of diverse viewpoints only adds to the echo chamber that “The View” has become. Her call for balance, while coming from a despairing place of concern for greater dialogue, reveals just how insulated these hosts are from the tidal wave of support Trump enjoys among many women. Instead of acknowledging why Trump remains popular, the conversation veers towards the self-indulgent drama of a shattered liberal fantasy. Call it what you will, but it’s clear: the real malfeasance is the refusal to recognize the heart and soul of a significant portion of the American electorate.
