It’s no secret that The View has long been a lightning rod for controversy. Between emotionally charged hot takes, race-based rhetoric, and an unapologetically one-sided narrative, the daytime talk show has become the poster child for what many critics call “liberal daytime propaganda.” But this time, it wasn’t just a Twitter thread or a sarcastic meme pointing out the hypocrisy—it was a brutal, on-air takedown from none other than Tyrus, and it left no stone unturned.
In what can only be described as a savage verbal dismantling, Tyrus didn’t just critique The View. He torched its very foundation.
“No need to find Trumpers,” he said. “You need to fire your race-baiters.”
Right out of the gate, he cut to the core of the issue: The View’s increasingly divisive tone. Tyrus pointed directly at hosts like Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin, accusing them of perpetuating racial double standards with no pushback, no accountability, and no room for debate. He argued that the show had effectively run off any opposing voices—pointing to Meghan McCain’s tearful time on the panel as an example—and created a safe space for ideological narcissism, not open conversation.
But the fire didn’t stop there.
Tyrus continued by making a controversial but poignant claim: that The View allows “Black racists” to go unchecked on air while demonizing white Americans in a way that would never be tolerated if the roles were reversed. He pointed out that the show’s double standard is particularly glaring when you consider the response from sponsors and media outlets toward conservative voices who say far less incendiary things.
“Imagine a conservative saying what Sunny says about white people, but about any other race,” Tyrus argued. “They’d be canceled before the commercial break.”
And that’s the central hypocrisy critics have been calling out for years.
Take Sunny Hostin, for example. She’s repeatedly reduced complex political views to matters of race and identity, mocking minorities who vote Republican and dismissing viewpoints based on the race of the speaker. Ana Navarro, another frequent panelist, once suggested that “all nannies are Latinas,” a stereotyping comment that received little to no media scrutiny.
The issue, Tyrus argues, is that The View isn’t just biased—it’s lazy.
“There’s no research, no real debate, no critical thought,” he said. “Just emotion and self-righteousness, packaged as truth.”
He wasn’t alone in this sentiment. Tim Dillon, another vocal critic, sarcastically praised The View as the home of “the lowest tier of the double X chromosome.” His biting commentary pointed to what he sees as the show’s tokenization of women and abandonment of intellectual diversity. “There are so many brilliant women out there,” he said. “None of them are on The View.”
The idea that The View functions more as an ideological echo chamber than a place for genuine discourse isn’t exactly new. But Tyrus’s takedown hit harder because it came with specific examples and hit at the network’s broader cultural contradictions. If The View is meant to be a progressive platform, why does it regularly exclude conservative voices? Why hasn’t it made room for male co-hosts if inclusion is supposedly the priority? Why are overtly racist remarks allowed to stand as long as they fit the political narrative?
Tyrus didn’t just ask these questions—he demanded answers. And many viewers agreed.
In the aftermath of the segment, social media lit up. Viewers from across the political spectrum weighed in, with some even admitting they’d stopped watching the show years ago due to its lack of balance. Others pointed to how The View has contributed to the rise of cancel culture, saying the show normalizes attacking people for simply disagreeing with the dominant narrative.
“They’ve created the illusion of consensus,” one commenter said. “Say something different, and you’re not just wrong—you’re evil.”
And that, perhaps, is The View’s most dangerous legacy: turning disagreement into moral failure.
Critics argue this isn’t just bad television—it’s cultural rot disguised as empowerment. By feeding viewers surface-level outrage rather than depth, nuance, or real solutions, The View isn’t educating or elevating—it’s polarizing.
Even behind the scenes, former hosts have hinted at the dysfunction. Candace Cameron Bure described her time on the show as “exhausting,” revealing that producers would bombard them with potential topics nightly, forcing last-minute prep with little room for genuine insight. The result? Shallow commentary, predictable talking points, and an atmosphere where whoever yells the loudest wins.
The final blow? Tyrus said it plainly: “Clean it up.”
And maybe that’s the only path forward.
Until then, The View will continue to serve as a cautionary tale: when ideology replaces curiosity, when outrage replaces evidence, and when debate becomes a monologue—it stops being journalism. It becomes theater. And right now, the curtain is looking dangerously close to falling.
