Another day, another episode of “The View” serves up the kind of commentary that makes one question if the hosts operate under some kind of contest to see who can spew the most ridiculous and vitriolic rhetoric. This time, it was Sunny Hostin who took center stage, launching an unwarranted attack on Brittany Mahomes, all while the whole spectacle was broadcast to viewers nodding along in agreement with their brand of leftist lunacy.
The segment, fittingly named “Hot Topics,” took a sharp left turn when Hostin insisted on discussing Brittany Mahomes’ alleged political affiliations instead of focusing on anything remotely productive. Evidently, liking a social media post by Donald Trump is enough for Hostin to condemn Mahomes’ character. One must wonder: is this the new standard for acceptable discussion in America? The marriage of two successful individuals, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, is suddenly dissected and deemed “problematic” because of their political inclinations—or lack thereof, as Brittany hasn’t overtly expressed any support for Trump.
@sunny is an awful person, there is a reason nobody takes the people @TheView serious, President Trump was never a racist until he decided to run as a Republican and illegal immigration isn’t a race this garbage isn’t working anymore. pic.twitter.com/ccD5KQ0EuD

Alyssa Farrah’s presence on the panel did little to temper the outrage, as her response was akin to throwing in a half-hearted “but maybe…?” about Mahomes’ political stance. This is the supposed voice of reason? Instead of standing up for the integrity of the Mahomes family, Farrah allowed the toxic discourse to continue unchecked. If this is the conservative representation on the panel, it raises eyebrows more than it provides clarity. What’s truly disheartening is the apparent lack of basic decency toward a woman who simply liked a tweet—definitely not grounds for public shaming.
Sunny Hostin’s hypocritical assertions that Brittany’s biracial children somehow place her at odds with Trump is nothing short of bizarre. It seems to suggest that any association with Trump equates to a betrayal of her own family, which is a ludicrous stance. At this point, it’s essential to remind viewers that the Mahomes’ marriage is not fodder for cheap shots. Hostin’s comments reflect a more significant issue in today’s discourse—employing identity politics as a weapon against anyone who isn’t on the “approved” side of the political spectrum.
Moreover, Hostin’s reference to historical claims about Trump and discrimination in New York real estate from decades ago appears to be a desperate attempt at creating a narrative. The reality is that Trump wasn’t even the owner at the time in question—he was still finding his way in the world. This cobbled-together narrative serves only one purpose: to inflame the prejudices of viewers who are more than happy to suspend disbelief in favor of a good rant.
Ultimately, “The View” has managed to reduce a conversation about marriage and family values to an ideological melee, and viewers deserve better. The network rests under the banner of ABC News, yet the content aired bears a striking resemblance to tabloid gossip more than serious journalism. Brittany Mahomes deserves an apology for being dragged through the mud by individuals who prioritize divisive rhetoric over meaningful dialogue, showcasing just how low “The View” has sunk in the pursuit of ratings through outrage.
