Watching The View lecture the nation and declare that America is somehow irredeemably racist and sexist is not journalism — it’s performative virtue signaling wrapped in smug condescension. Their hosts repeatedly act as if labeling broad swaths of Americans evil absolves them of any responsibility to actually understand why people voted the way they did.
Sunny Hostin, in particular, has made a habit of assigning collective guilt, claiming the country is misogynistic and blaming groups like “uneducated white women” and certain Latino voters for election outcomes rather than engaging with real policy concerns. That kind of blanket condemnation from a television panel is less debate and more ideological sermonizing, proving again that too many in elite media prefer moral lectures to honest analysis.
When Whoopi Goldberg and others step in to defend that line of attack, it exposes how insulated that show is from the lives of hardworking Americans who pay taxes, raise families, and worry about security and opportunity. Rather than explore why voters made their choices, their response is to double down on identity accusations — a tactic that explains why average viewers tune out in disgust.
This isn’t a one-off. Hostin’s rhetoric has repeatedly dismissed millions of Americans as “selfish” or worse for choosing different leaders, a pattern of contempt that only fuels the very political tribalism the left claims to oppose. Elites who sneer at the electorate should be reminded that democracy isn’t a classroom for moral superiority; it’s the people’s rule, and the people are fed up with being preached at.
Patriots shouldn’t be defensive about loving their country; they should be furious at elites who weaponize race and sex to shut down debate and shame dissent. Turn the channel, support outlets that actually report and debate, and back leaders who focus on real problems — inflation, crime, school standards, and secure borders — not endless grievance theater.
America is not a monolith of hatred; it is a nation of imperfect but proud citizens who want their children to prosper. The real patriot’s duty is to reject cynical narratives that divide us and instead build a future based on work, faith, and common-sense patriotism — not the smug, sanctimonious pronouncements from a television set.
