Piers Morgan called for The View to be taken off air for their “grunting, whining, frowning, seething and cursing about the same thing: Donald Trump.”
The broadcaster writes this in its column for the channel New York Post that The View gives him his “worst nightmares,” imagining himself trapped on a desert island with his hosts.
“The nightmares are long, searing, mentally scarring and always follow exactly the same pattern,” he wrote, before parodying the women on the imaginary island and showing examples of the many times they have been caught in hypocrisy.
Opening up with “Joyless” Joy Behar, Morgan pointed out that she was accused of wearing blackface at a Halloween party in the 1970s when she dressed up as an African woman.
“(Behar) marches loudly on the beach loudly mocking Trump as a lying, racist hypocrite,” he wrote.
On the shore, in Morgan’s nightmares, Whoopi Goldberg — who was suspended in 2022 for saying the Holocaust wasn’t about race — “sits by the ocean crying that Trump is a misguided, misinformed, racist imbecile.”
Morgan said despite their past scandals, “their low point came the day after the election, when to their shock, the man they have labeled for years a vile, bigoted, racist fascist won absolutely everything.”
‘The View’ has become a pointless, irrelevant parody of itself that desperately needs to be put out of its – and our – misery,” he concluded.

Continuing his desert island analogy, Morgan expanded on Ana Navarro’s comments after Trump’s first victory in 2016, where she insisted he was not legitimately elected.
He argued that Navarro Trump “constantly spews bile-fueled invective” on The View, while she “stays under a palm tree on his desert island and rants about him being a lying election denier who uses ugly rhetoric.”
Sunny Hostin, who was recently forced to read a humiliating legal note on the show after ranting about Matt Gaetz, was also cited in the column for her past comments about former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
It came during her run for the White House last year, when Hostin criticized Haley as a “hypocritical chameleon” for not using her first name Nimrata.
Morgan pointed out that Hostin herself does not use her real first name, Asunción, and said she also “cruelly and callously accused Nikki Haley of crying fake tears over her husband’s deployment to war zones.”
He added that Sara Haines, despite her “holy voice of compassionate, unifying sunshine,” repeatedly calls Trump a “jerk,” and on the island “in the shadows” would shout, “HE’S STILL AN OAK!”
“Meanwhile, I’ll just lie face down in the sand feeling like Bill Murray in a never-ending, hellish ‘Groundhog Day,'” he concluded.
Morgan brought up several past humiliating moments for The View hosts, including when “Joyless” Joy Behar was accused of wearing blackface at a Halloween party in the 1970s.
Morgan also took aim at Sunny Hostin, pointing out that he criticized Nikki Haley for not using her real first name, despite Hostin also not using her first name Asunción.
Although The View hosts often make eyebrow-raising comments on the show — including Hostin who recently portrayed all Hispanics who voted for Trump as “sexist and misogynistic” — Morgan said their worst moment came the day after Election Day.
“In a truly farcical gesture of shameless bias, the six hosts all trotted out in funereal black clothing because they were in mourning,” he wrote.
“And yet, ironically, it was almost certainly their own professional funeral.”
He pointed out that Goldberg declined to mention Trump’s name, while Hostin argued that Trump’s victory had “nothing to do with policy” and was instead “a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”
Morgan said that comment made him “laugh out loud,” as he mocked her stance on the election because it “had everything to do with policy.”
And while Navarro noted that “we can feel sad” about Trump’s victory, he countered that “the majority of Americans do not feel sad about Trump’s victory.”
“They feel jubilant or relieved that it’s not word salad Kamala Harris and her perniciously progressive, policyless agenda,” he added.
Morgan concluded that because of the antics of hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, The View has become “a pointless, irrelevant parody of itself in dire need of being put out of its – and our – misery.”
In calling for The View to be taken off the air, he said the show was nothing like creator Barbara Walters’ intention: a show “hosted by women with diverse opinions.”
“But it’s not that anymore,” he concluded.
“They all despise the man who will become their president again, and that boring, short-sighted, one-sided act simply can’t play out anymore now that he has received such resounding support from the American people.
“I don’t like cancel culture, but considering that the hosts of ‘The View’, by their own admission, worked so hard to get Donald Trump canceled, it’s time they get canceled themselves.”
