The View Is Failing — And Tyrus Just Explained Why

In the world of daytime television, few shows are as polarizing as The View. What was once a forum for diverse perspectives has slowly devolved into a one-sided echo chamber — and former WWE wrestler-turned-Fox News contributor Tyrus isn’t holding back on why he thinks the show is falling apart.

Appearing on Gutfeld!, Tyrus delivered a scathing critique of The View, calling out what he sees as its biggest problem: the hosts themselves. According to him, the show isn’t failing because of a lack of conservative voices — it’s failing because of the open hostility toward anyone who doesn’t toe the ideological line.

“You don’t need to find Trumpers,” Tyrus said. “You need to fire your race-baiters… You’ve had Republicans on before. You just ran them off.”

A Toxic Environment, Disguised as Discourse

Tyrus referenced former co-host Meghan McCain’s emotional tenure as an example of how The View treats dissent. “Every show and every break she was nearly in tears,” he said. “You allowed Black racists on TV who could just go all day and say anything about white people.”

That comment may raise eyebrows, but the core issue he’s pointing to is hard to ignore: the show has created an environment where certain views are attacked rather than debated. The idea that real discourse happens at The View is becoming increasingly laughable, especially when conservative guests or co-hosts are routinely dismissed, shouted down, or driven off the show entirely.

DEI Over Meritocracy?

Tyrus didn’t stop there. He argued that The View, like much of Hollywood, has become a victim of its own performative progressivism — hiring based on identity checkboxes instead of actual talent or perspective.

“They were forced into hiring DEI producers and directors… people based on how they look, instead of whether they can create something that makes sense.”

Whether or not you agree with his take on diversity hiring, the sentiment reflects a growing frustration among critics who believe that mainstream media has prioritized ideology over quality — and it’s costing them viewers.

Can It Be Fixed?

Fellow Fox contributor Emily Compagno echoed the sentiment, adding that the environment on shows like The View has become “vile” and emotionally draining. “I get very sensitive to things… I don’t thrive in a nasty environment,” she admitted, before suggesting that The View could regain credibility — but only if it chooses to host balanced, respectful voices.

Therein lies the solution Tyrus and others are pointing to: if The View wants to survive, it needs to reflect the country — not just one side of it.

Respectful Debate Isn’t That Hard

The frustration is understandable. Political conversations have become exhausting. Everyone’s sick of the division, the name-calling, and the smug superiority from media elites. People aren’t asking for a complete ideological makeover — they’re asking for basic human decency and honest conversation.

It’s not about silencing liberals. It’s not about “owning” conservatives. It’s about creating space where different views can be expressed without mockery or disdain — and that goes for both sides.

Final Thought

Yes, The View still has the right to exist. If people want to watch it, they can. But if the show continues to alienate half the country, mock dissenting views, and preach to an increasingly shrinking choir, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes irrelevant.

Tyrus didn’t just criticize — he offered a reality check. Whether The View listens or not is entirely up to them
