ABC is 'reviewing the liberal bias' on The View. The VIEW. The show with five women speaking the own opinions. That's the threat now," O'Donnell wrote in a TikTok post. "They say they're not canceling it just trying to soften you up first they're just 'reviewing the bias.' Which is code for: We're gonna cancel it we're just trying to soften you up first."She continued, "Because it's not enough to run the country into the ground. You have to control what people SEE, what they HEAR, what they think. And The View? Well, that's a little too much woman a little too much truth a little too much Joy Behar saying, 'I don't think the insurrection was a tourist visit, Karen.' Apparently, the truth is dangerous now." Colman Domingo in an episode of The View.ABC/Paula Lobo O'Donnell continued her statement, writing:"They say they want 'balance,' but what they mean is silence. Silence anything that doesn't praise the orange messiah and his golden escalator of lies. And listen, I've done TV I've sat in boardrooms where men in suits use words like 'optics' and 'midwestern moms' and 'brand alignment,' when what they mean is: Can you not say the things you say.I've done THE VIEW twice. I know how hard it is to get four women to agree on lunch, let alone politics. So don't tell me The View is some radical leftist threat. This isn't about bias; this is about obedience. This is about removing any program that doesn't align with Trumpism soft fascism in full lashes with commercial breaks."O'Donnell reiterated her claim that longtime The View cohosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar could be next on Trump's chopping block. She wrote:"When the only voices left on TV are nodding along to conspiracy theories about wind turbines causing autism, we are not in a democracy anymore. We are in a dictatorship with good lighting. I used to think the First Amendment meant something. I used to think you couldn't just erase a voice because it made you uncomfortable. But that's where we are. They don't want balance. They want obedience. And they will shut down anything that reminds people of what freedom sounds like."Taylor Rogers, a spokesperson for the White House, shared the following statement with Variety regarding O'Donnell's remarks:"Rosie O'Donnell and 'Joyless' Behar are irrelevant losers with too much time on their hands, whining about a failing talk show while everyday Americans are working hard. Our country is better off with Rosie living abroad and we can all hope 'Joyless' Behar will join her next!"This story is still developing
