‘It Is Over’: Bill O’Reilly Makes Bleak Prediction For ‘The View’

Former Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly predicted on Wednesday that ABC is coming to a crossroads about what to do about “The View,” and it’s not going to end well for the five mostly far-left hosts.

Appearing on NewsNation, O’Reilly chastised Chris Cuomo for buying NBC’s explanation that the network will “spin off” MSNBC into a healthy, standalone media company of its own, complete with a publicly traded share price and board of directors. The announcement on Monday by Comcast, which owns NBC, is a desperate attempt to distance its “mothership” evening news channel with the more liberal — and far less popular — MSNBC. “They’re uncoupling, their word, MSNBC from NBC News. That means MSNBC has no resources at all, none. They’re not going to be able to pay these people millions of dollars, Rachel Maddow, whatever she’s making,” O’Reilly stated.

He then predicted it won’t be long before ABC makes a similar move to dump “The View,” which has already come under heavy fire for fixating on an anti-Trump narrative that is clearly out of touch with most American voters. By cutting the daytime show loose, ABC News will similarly try to salvage its own mainstream news division. “They hate Trump. They hate people who vote for Trump,” O’Reilly said about the five hosts. “Everybody knows that. And you know what’s next? ‘The View.’ ABC News is going to have to cut ties with ‘The View.’ And you saw that today or yesterday when Sunny Hostin had to read a legal statement in the middle of a segment!”

On Tuesday Hostin appeared nonplussed as she stared vacantly into a camera and read off a “legal memo” clarifying that Matt Gaetz has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct and that the Biden Justice Department cleared him of wrongdoing. The disclaimer came after Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, and other members of the all-female cast crossed the line in badmouthing President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general.
