In what’s being described as a full-blown televised reckoning, former wrestler and Fox News political commentator Tyrus took direct aim at The View, igniting a firestorm of backlash and applause in equal measure. In a scathing, unapologetic segment, Tyrus didn’t hold back—calling out what he believes is the hypocrisy, race-baiting, and outright hostility spewed by the show’s most prominent co-hosts: Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar.
At the center of the controversy is a growing sense that The View has become less a platform for genuine discussion and more a one-sided echo chamber of progressive outrage, laced with personal attacks and increasingly polarizing rhetoric. Tyrus, never one to sugarcoat his criticism, declared the show a “train wreck,” accusing its hosts of demonizing white Americans while selectively ignoring racism within their own ranks.
His comments were aimed squarely at the show’s failure, in his view, to hold its own stars accountable. “If you want to fix the problem,” Tyrus said, “you have to clean up your own backyard. Fire the racists. Stop inviting guests that call white voters ‘roaches voting for Raid.’” That comment, made previously by Sunny Hostin in reference to suburban Republican women, became one of Tyrus’s key points in highlighting what he called a double standard in acceptable public discourse.
But the fire didn’t stop there. Tyrus resurrected the infamous Holocaust controversy involving Whoopi Goldberg, who previously claimed the Holocaust was “not about race.” Although Goldberg was suspended for two weeks amid widespread criticism, the backlash quickly died down, and she returned to the show with little fanfare. Tyrus blasted the network for what he called a “slap on the wrist,” accusing them of protecting liberal voices while silencing dissenting conservative ones.
In a moment of brutal clarity, Tyrus pointed out the departure of former co-host Meghan McCain, a conservative voice on the panel who reportedly left the show after enduring repeated personal attacks and backstage tensions. “Every show, every break—she was nearly in tears,” Tyrus recalled. “They didn’t want a Republican. They wanted a punching bag.”
He went on to mock the show’s attempts to appear balanced, citing rumors that producers are now scrambling to find a Trump supporter to fill a seat. “You don’t need a Trumper,” Tyrus quipped. “You need to stop hiring race-baiters and start hiring people who actually want dialogue.”
The audience reaction to Tyrus’s takedown was immediate and intense. Conservative viewers praised his boldness for naming names and exposing what they saw as liberal media hypocrisy. Clips of the segment spread rapidly online, with thousands applauding Tyrus for saying what they felt had been long overdue.
Not to be outdone, Tyrus saved some of his harshest words for Joy Behar, mocking her recent absurd comments about Republican women and even referencing her remarks about Caroline Leavitt, whom she dismissed as merely “a 10” picked by Trump. “She’s built her career on playing a caricature of left-wing hysteria,” he said, branding Behar “clueless and bitter.”
Beyond the fiery rhetoric, Tyrus’s broader message resonated with many disillusioned viewers. He pointed to shifting demographics in Texas, where Latino voters have turned sharply in favor of Donald Trump, and argued that legacy media simply refuses to accept why. “They’re doubling down on lies,” he said. “The public has seen through it. That’s why Trump won. That’s why they’re losing their grip.”
For Tyrus, the message is simple: the tide is turning. “Keep doing what you’re doing,” he warned liberal media voices, “because the more you talk, the more America sees through you.”
While some critics dismissed the segment as another Fox News outrage moment, others hailed it as a rare moment of unfiltered truth in an age of political theater. Whether you love him or hate him, Tyrus’s takedown was a moment the producers at The View won’t soon forget — and judging by the thunderous reaction online, neither will the audience.
