• On the September 30 broadcast, Behar delivered her warning during a discussion that noted the government was hours from a shutdown and that the president had posted an AI-altered clip featuring fabricated Schumer remarks and an image of Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero and mustache.
• Behar argued that the president is undoing American values “every day,” described the effect as “shock and awe,” and contrasted him with past presidents including Richard Nixon, whom she said still respected the Constitution and did not insult the military.
• Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, with Haines saying she believes in the country’s future and Hostin pointing to other difficult periods the nation has endured.
• Entertainment Weekly reported fresh criticism from the White House toward The View, citing spokesperson Abigail Jackson’s statement about Ana Navarro and noting prior official jabs that labeled Behar “Joyless Behar.”
• The conservative outlet Newsbusters condemned Behar’s remarks, characterizing them as dangerous rhetoric in its write-up of the segment.
