White House Warns ABC's The View Could Be Pulled Off Air

The Trump administration has threatened to pull the ABC daytime talk show "The View" off the air following co-host Joy Behar's remarks that President Trump is jealous of Barack Obama. Behar criticized Trump for accusing Obama of attempting a coup, instead pointing to the January 6, 2021 insurrection as the actual attempt to overthrow the government, and described Trump as envious of Obama’s qualities, including being "trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and a better singer." White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded by calling Behar an "irrelevant loser" suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and claimed "The View" is experiencing historic low ratings, warning the show could be canceled like CBS's "The Late Show." The View's representatives countered by citing ratings gains and the show’s status as the number one network daytime talk show in viewers, dismissing the White House's criticism. This exchange comes amid broader tensions as President Trump has also targeted other late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon for criticism, signaling a continued crackdown on media outlets critical of his administration.
