“The View” got personal on two Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices on Thursday, saying Clarence Thomas “doesn’t really represent the Black community” and Amy Coney Barrett was appointed purely as a “White woman” who would overturn abortion rights.
The daytime gabfest opened with a conversation about Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s looming retirement, which has put a spotlight on President Biden’s promise to nominate a Black woman if given the chance to fill a seat. The panelists noted the lack of diversity on the high court throughout history, which has had only had two Black men ever, when Hostin chimed in with a dig at Thomas.
“One doesn’t really represent the Black community,” Hostin said.

None of Hostin’s fellow panelists asked a follow-up or asked her to elaborate on the apparent jab at Justice Thomas, who was nominated by President George H. W. Bush and has served since 1991.
Hostin isn’t the only liberal pundit to dismiss Thomas’ race in recent memory.
Later in the show, Joy Behar said Thomas was “to the right of Attila the Hun” and was named to the court to go against voting rights.
“Which is what he does,” Behar said.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid called Thomas “Uncle Clarence” during an Election Day panel discussion with colleagues Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace last November, and Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., suggested he wasn’t an authentic African-American voice in a 2016 interview.
They weren’t done, however. Behar said Barrett, who was appointed last year to fill the vacancy left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was likely “put in there” because she’s a “white woman” who will go against abortion rights.
“That was deliberate, I think,” Behar said.
As she spoke, she put the word “woman” in air-quotes to discuss the mother of seven.
“Racism and defamatory smears from [The View,]” Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton tweeted.

Karoline Leavitt vs. Cher: The Live TV Clash That Left a Studio Silent and Viewers in Total Shock
What started as a standard political-meets-pop-culture segment quickly spiraled into one of the most unforgettable live television moments in recent memory. In a rare and fiery on-air confrontation, conservative commentator Karoline Leavitt and music icon Cher exchanged words so sharp that the producers of the program were forced to cut the feed early — and audiences haven’t stopped talking since. The Setup: Two Worlds, One Collision The segment was promoted as a cross-generational dialogue between entertainment and politics. Cher, no stranger to voicing bold opinions on political and cultural issues, was set to appear alongside Karoline Leavitt, a rising Republican voice and former White House staffer. Producers expected sparks — but nothing like what actually unfolded. From the opening moments, it was clear the two women did not see eye-to-eye. The topic that ignited the match? A conversation about free speech, online censorship, and media bias — issues both had spoken about in different contexts. Cher, impassioned and animated, criticized what she described as “right-wing disinformation campaigns.” Leavitt, calm but assertive, responded by pointing out inconsistencies in celebrity activism and accused figures like Cher of “dismissing entire groups of Americans based on political affiliation.” Tension began to rise — and fast. The Turning Point: One Line, Total Silence Midway through the exchange, Cher made a remark questioning the legitimacy of Leavitt’s views, suggesting her “resume was political, not intellectual.” That’s when Leavitt delivered the line that stopped the show. “Maybe if you spent less time on Twitter and more time listening to people who don’t already agree with you, you’d actually understand what’s happening in this country.” There was no shouting.No raised voice.Just a sharp, surgical statement — and then silence. The co-hosts looked stunned.The audience stopped clapping.And for several seconds, no one said anything….
