Just when you thought The View couldn't get any dumber.
On Monday's episode of ABC's 'The View,' co-host Sunny Hostin was fact-checked by her co-hosts after she suggested that several unrelated natural phenomena were indicators of climate change.
The segment began with former White House communications director and current co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin, who noted the rare occurrence of a solar eclipse and the recent earthquake in New York City, saying that these events created a panic about the end of the world. Had done. Conspiracies around the world online.
“So, what's the craziness about Friday's earthquake and then today's eclipse, people are making all kinds of conspiracies about the end of the world,” Griffin said.
“And then I read online that the epicenter was actually in Bedminster, New Jersey. Fun fact – it started with Trump.”
Sunny Hostin then shared a personal anecdote about her studio makeup artist's reaction to the earthquake, Saying, “Jesus is coming” and “The rapture is here.”,” humorously noted the panic it caused backstage.
“The cicadas are on their way,” Hostin said, pronouncing the word as 'sick-ah-duh.' Goldberg corrected him, choosing the pronunciation 'sik-ke-duhs', “cicadas”.
“This is the first incident in almost a century,” Hostin said, trying to validate his statement.
“No, no, no. There are two different types of cicadas. This happens every 17 years.” Goldberg intervened.
Despite hiccups, Hostin attempted to link the emergence of cicadas, solar eclipses, and earthquakes to climate change.
“All these things together would probably lead someone to believe that either climate change exists, or something is actually going on,” Hostin said.
Co-host Joy Behar directly challenged Hostin's link of earthquakes to climate change, emphasizing that seismic activity occurs underground and is not related to the planet's climate.
“Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It is underground. This can't happen,” Behar said.
“No, it happens,” Goldberg said. “And eclipses, they know about eclipses coming because eclipses happen, and they can tell exactly when these things are going to happen.”
All these people saying it's a sign from God… God doesn't warn you. Do you think he warned the people at the Tower of Babel? Like, 'Oh, I'm going to annoy you all?' Goldberg added.
