The hosts of ABC’s popular talk show, The View, didn’t hold back as they launched a fierce rebuttal against Donald Trump after the former president directed offensive remarks at Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg. The show’s set turned into a verbal battleground as the hosts took aim at the billionaire.
Sunny Hostin Claps Back with Legal Precision
Right at the start, Sunny Hostin set the tone with a pointed response. “I have a personal legal note,” she began, before adding, “Donald Trump, I want to thank you for providing us with a daily spectacle of lies and alleged crimes. You give us daily material for our work, and I’m very grateful for that.” Hostin made it clear how Trump’s antics have become a goldmine for the media.
Trump’s Racially and Sexist-Fueled Tirade
While campaigning in Pennsylvania, Trump took shots at Hostin, a Black and Latina woman, calling her “dumber than Kamala” and labeling her a “stupid woman.” But his tirade didn’t stop there. He lashed out at Goldberg, calling her “crazy” and recalling an event where she supposedly used offensive language, causing half the audience to walk out. “I said I’d never hire her again. It was filthy, disgusting, nasty. What a loser she is,” Trump ranted.
Whoopi Goldberg Wears Trump’s Insult as a Badge of Honor
Never one to back down, Whoopi Goldberg flipped Trump’s insult into a badge of honor. “I was filthy, and I own that. I’ve always been filthy. And you knew that when you hired me,” she shot back. The host even mocked the former president by pointing out that he had hired her four times. “How dumb are you?” she quipped.
But the most brutal response came when Whoopi referenced the infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape, where Trump bragged about grabbing women without consent. “You know what I’ve never done? I’ve never grabbed anyone by the genitals,” she declared, turning his attack into a direct blow against his own controversial history.
Hosts Make a Statement with Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirty’
In a bold move, the hosts opened the show to the tune of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirty,’ a clear nod to Trump’s derogatory comments. “It’s one of the words ‘you-know-who’ used when he was talking about me specifically,” Goldberg remarked, making it clear she views Trump as nothing more than a resentful critic.
Sunny Hostin Fires Back with Legal Wit
ABC News senior correspondent and attorney Sunny Hostin took her turn, delivering a sharp response. “I admit, I may not have spent as much time in court as you have,” she joked, referencing Trump’s numerous legal battles. She went further, saying, “I have a record of prosecuting sexual criminals, so thank you for keeping people like us busy,” in a jab at Trump’s history of sexual misconduct allegations.
Trump Brushes Off Criticism and Defends His Rhetoric
Despite the explosive reactions from The View’s hosts, Trump remained unapologetic, maintaining his usual stance. “Women want to see our country go back to what it was. They don’t care,” the Republican candidate insisted, trying to downplay the backlash and shore up support among women voters, even as polls suggest he struggles with this demographic.
The fiery clash between The View hosts and Trump shows no signs of cooling, and it seems the ex-president’s words have only fueled the controversy brewing behind the scenes of the show.
