Rosie O’Donnell is worried that The View will be canceled because of the Trump administration. After she took to social media to express her concerns, the White House slammed her and Joy Behar, one of the hosts on The View.
In a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers referred to both O’Donnell and Behar as “irrelevant losers.” Rogers also suggested that Behar should leave the country like O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland after President Donald Trump’s re-election.
In the statement, Rogers referred to Behar as “Joyless Behar” instead of calling her by her real name. “Our country is better off with Rosie living abroad — and we can all hope ‘Joyless’ Behar will join her next!” Rogers said.
It’s actually not the first time the White House has called Behar an “irrelevant loser.” Trump’s apparent beef with Behar seemingly started after she said he was jealous of former President Barack Obama. On the July 23, 2025, episode of The View, Behar said, “He’s so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green’s song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green.”
But shortly after the episode aired, Rogers threatened Behar in a statement published by Entertainment Weekly. “She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air,” the statement read.
O’Donnell recently said she’s worried that The View will be canceled because the shows cohosts have spoken out against the Trump administration. In a lengthy caption on TikTok, O’Donnell wrote, “Apparently, the truth is dangerous now.”
She implied that it was ridiculous that a show “with five women speaking [their] own opinions” would be considered “some radical leftist threat.”
“This isn’t about bias,” she wrote in part. “This is about obedience. This is about removing any program that doesn’t align with Trumpism — soft fascism in full lashes with commercial breaks. First they came for the journalists. Then the educators. Then the librarians. Now it’s Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.”
She said it isn’t “just about a TV show.” Instead, “it’s about what happens when powerful men decide they’ve heard enough from women.” O’Donnell urged women to “speak louder” and “take up space.”
“What they’re really trying to do is shut us up,” she wrote. “All of us. And we’ve seen what happens when women are silenced. History has shown us — over and over and over — that when women stop speaking, things fall apart.”
