I am very disappointed that AARP advertises on the toxic, hate inspiring disinformation show called The View.

The View’s hosts have consistently taken a misinformed, hostile and unscientific view toward rational public policy.  The View’s deployment of absurd, divisive emotional appeal influences irrational attitudes toward otherwise sane policies and well intended Americans.  Their intent appears to be to motivate their viewers to hate such rational policies and the people associated with these policies.

Whoopi Goldberg pushed more falsehoods to inspire hatred against President Trump and millions of Americans with her bogus claim that "a draft is coming because America got no gas and little food."   NewsBusters reports:  "Whoopi Goldberg was having a real case of the Mondays (April 20, 2026), and possibly a mental break, during Monday’s The View. While wearing a sweater that read “weirdo,” the 70-year-old conspiracy theorist insisted that the Trump administration was planning to institute a draft to go fight Iran. She also proclaimed that America, under President Trump, had run out of gasoline and was running out of food. 

'The View' co-host Joy Behar claims Trump not a 'legitimate president' ahead of State of the Union on February 24, 2026.  This creates more safety risks for President Trump and conservatives at large from people who believe Behar and want to incite violence.

The View co-host Sunny Hostin called United States of America President Donald Trump a pirate, a corrupt leader and only wanted oil from Venezuela on the January 5, 2026 episode of The View.

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg signed off the April 3, 2025 episode of The View by rallying leftist extremists to resist President Trump.   “Remember, the resistance is real. You're not alone," Goldberg told viewers.  Last month, she said it was time for Americans to rise up and protest the Trump administration.  "The only way people are going to hear how angry you are is if you get out there.”

The View co-host Joy Behar’s proclamations appear to endorse violence.  On a February episode Joy Behar disagreed with Democratic Strategist James Carville's advice that Democrats do "nothing" to protest Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk.  "I have lived long enough to see that people who do nothing empower the enemy," Behar said.  "I believe that Americans, first of all, you can multitask. You can march, and you can do whatever and let them do what they’re doing.”

Ana Navarro engaged in race-baiting against the president when she said “I think today Donald Trump is going to sign an executive order banning Black people from halftime” at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.   Whoopi Goldberg accused US Senator Tim Scott of having “Clarence Thomas syndrome” as a Black Republican.   Joy Behar said Senator Scott is a Republican because he “don’t get” the idea of racism.  And The View co-host Sunny Hostin alleged on the April 23, 2025 episode that President Trump’s idea of a $5,000 credit for first born babies was racist.  Her race baiting comments implied that the birth rate was down for white people and that Trump’s proposal was to increase white births.

The View promoted transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and men competing against women in women's sports during two segments of the March 10, 2025 show.  Whoopi Goldberg mocked women’s sports advocates.  She told Dylan Mulvaney “that those opposed to men in women’s sports don’t know anything about women’s bodies” declaring her support for men competing against women. 

AARP certainly has the right to advertise on whatever shows it chooses.  Likewise, I have the same right to voice concern and patronize companies that do not advertise on shows that promote toxic disinformation and race baiting to stimulate hate toward our president and tens of millions of Americans.

Please stop sponsoring The View’s harmful, toxic hate inspiring disinformation content with AARP advertising.
