‘The View’ Goes Hard at Trump After Execs Say Tone It Down

The Daily Beast reported on Wednesday that Disney executives had demanded the show veer away from politics.

The opinion show’s co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin tore into the Wednesday meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, where Trump repeatedly claimed there was a “genocide” of white farmers in the nation with unverified videos. Karamehmedovic met with the hosts and executive producer Brian Teta in recent weeks and suggested it needed to broaden its focus beyond politics and lean into more culture topics, including celebrity guests. The political talk continued throughout the show’s first block on Thursday, as the hosts ripped Trump’s suggestion that he would also accept a free plane from South Africa after his administration received a $400 million jet from Qatar for use as Air Force One.
