To the dismay of its co-hosts, The View has lately turned into a center for on-air legal disclaimers. Former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin has often been asked to read legal notes to elucidate remarks made during meetings. Her coworker Joy Behar has taken notice of this trend and joked, “Just call the show Legal Note from now on.”
These legal clarifications are necessary because of the show’s open discussions regarding public people who are accused. For example, Hostin said, “I was a part of the sex crimes unit within the Department of Justice,” during a piece on Matt Gaetz. Child trafficking and child sex offenses.
How could someone who has been accused of trafficking children or people across state boundaries and having sex with a 17-year-old be nominated? She then read a legal statement stating that the DOJ inquiry ended without charges and that Gaetz had long rejected all of the accusations.
In a similar vein, legal notes have been necessary during negotiations regarding Pete Hegseth, the nominee for Secretary of Defense under President-elect Donald Trump. Hostin clarified on-air that Hegseth denies any misconduct when Hegseth came under fire for previous accusations.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg was embroiled in controversy for remarks she made regarding Holtermann’s Bakery, a family-run business in Staten Island, which added to the show’s recent difficulties. Goldberg asserted that because of her political beliefs, the bakery declined to prepare her birthday dessert. Jill Holtermann, the proprietor of the bakery, denied this, stating that a broken boiler was the reason for the rejection.
Goldberg has not yet offered an apology in response to requests for one from the public and local leaders.
The show’s cancellation is being demanded by critics. The network claims that in a last-ditch attempt to regain viewers after the show has turned into a far-left soapbox in recent years, it is seeking a conservative host to join the cast.
