The recent drama surrounding the potential hiring of Candace Owens on “The View” has caused quite a stir. The show’s three co-hosts, Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny, have expressed their opposition to Owens joining the show and have even gone so far as to say that they will quit if she is hired.
Whoopi called Owens a “MAGA extremist who sells nonsense to numbskulls,” and expressed her unwillingness to sit at the same table as her. Joy also expressed her disdain for Owens, stating that she is “awful” and will likely “go off the handle and scream all the time.” Sunny Hostin added to the criticism, labeling Owens as a “traitor to people of color.”
In response to the criticism, Owens has made it clear that she is not bothered by the co-hosts’ threats to quit. In fact, she believes that the show would be better off without them. She even suggested inviting conservative personalities Tomi Lahren and Laura Ingraham to join her on the show.
However, Ingraham has already turned down the offer, stating that Owens is “out of her depth” and that the co-hosts are simply “baiting her.” Ingraham believes that the co-hosts will bully Owens until she quits, despite their initial threats to leave.
Despite the controversy, ABC is reportedly offering Owens a lucrative 3-year, $10 million deal to join the show. If she manages to make it through the entire contract, she will receive a $10 million bonus and a formal apology from Whoopi, who has made it clear that she will not apologize under any circumstances.
The drama surrounding the potential hiring of Candace Owens on “The View” has revealed the deep political and ideological divides that exist in our society. While some believe that Owens would be a valuable addition to the show, others believe that she is a divisive and controversial figure who should be avoided at all costs.
As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Owens will accept the offer and join the show, or whether the co-hosts will follow through on their threats to quit. Regardless of the outcome, it is clear that this controversy has brought attention to the ongoing struggle for ideological diversity in the media.
