ABC's The View hit a new low on Monday — and yes, I know I say that every week, but this time they actually called American babies potential white nationalists because President Trump rolled out a pro-family policy. Joy Behar looked into the camera and said, with a straight face, that Trump "wants toddler white nationalists." Toddlers. White nationalists. Children who eat crayons and can't tie their shoes are apparently now part of a racial supremacy project.
Apparently wanting American families to have children is now a hate crime. These people need therapy, not a television show.
NewsBusters' Nicholas Fondacaro reported on the unhinged segment, which aired May 12 and featured the full panel melting down over the Trump administration's new fertility and child policy program. The policy includes things like Trump baby accounts and reduced IVF costs — the kind of stuff that normal humans would call "helping families." But this is The View, where normal goes to die.
Behar wasn't done after the toddler line. She also claimed the administration "cut $13 billion in foreign aid resulting in an estimated 500,000 children dying," and added that "they seem to care about white children." So the argument is: Trump helps American families have babies, and that's racist because he didn't simultaneously fund every foreign aid program on earth. Got it. Makes total sense if you've recently suffered a head injury.
Sunny Hostin piled on, declaring "I think it's true he wants Trump babies which implies American born white children." Read that again. An American president creating a program to help American citizens start families "implies" he only wants white children. That's not political commentary. That's a conspiracy theory wrapped in a racial accusation served with a side of crazy.
But here's where it gets fun.
Even Alyssa Farah Griffin — no MAGA loyalist, mind you — couldn't go along with the hysteria. She pushed back directly, saying "Trump gives us plenty to critique him on legitimately. This, to me, is not bad policy." She revealed she'd actually set up one of the Trump accounts for her own son when he was born and confirmed that IVF medication costs had been reduced to "about 10 percent" of what she previously paid. Ten percent. That's a massive win for families struggling with fertility, but sure, let's call it white nationalism.
Hostin herself even had to admit "these are good policies" when it came to the IVF help and Trump accounts — right before going back to implying the whole thing was a racial plot. The cognitive dissonance on that panel could power a small city.
Whoopi Goldberg took a different angle, demanding "I will not give him this until he takes care of kids from birth to 18 or to 20." Translation: unless the federal government raises your child from birth through college, the policy doesn't count. She also hit us with the groundbreaking insight that "you have to pay for stuff." Thank you, Whoopi. Stunning analysis.
Sara Haines, not wanting to be left out, pivoted to complaining about maternal mortality rates and the lack of abortion resources in crisis hotlines. Because when you can't attack the actual policy, change the subject.
This is what passes for discourse on a major network television show in 2026. The President of the United States creates a program to help families afford IVF, sets up savings accounts for newborns, and makes fertility treatments accessible — and the response from five women with a national platform is to call it a white supremacy breeding program.
They didn't just jump the shark. They strapped a rocket to it and launched it into the sun.
