“The View” on Wednesday dove into the ongoing debate over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stunt in which he flew two planeloads of Venezuelan migrants from his state to Martha’s Vineyard as a ploy to draw attention to the ongoing immigrant crisis on the southern border. While it’s been a hot-button issue this week with voices on both sides denouncing the action as questionable or even illegal – a Texas sheriff has opened a case against DeSantis to determine if he misled the migrants into boarding the planes and therefore broke the law – but conservative co-host of “The View” Alyssa Farah Griffin indicated that she thinks it’s time to move on and focus on a solution.

Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts on “The View” tackled the racially fuelled attacks that have been hurled at HBO’s “House of the Dragon” and Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”, with racist complaints about people of colour portraying silver-haired Targaryens in the former and elves, hobbits and other denizens of Middle Earth in the latter.

season premiere of “The View,” hitting back at the racist criticism of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” and Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”With the two new fantasy series making their marks and becoming hits, some fans — or wannabe critics — have been claiming the creators were “too woke” in adding diverse characters.Amazon introduced new racially diverse characters into the series, and some fans argued that J.R.R. Tolkien didn’t have intentions to populate Middle-earth with diverse creatures — despite Tolkien describing Harfoots as having “browner” skin.Goldberg, 66, responded to the discourse, starting with an acknowledgement that the worlds of the two fantasy shows “are not real,” and “there are no dragons, there are no hobbits.”“Are you telling me black people can’t be fake people, too?,” she said.

What is wrong with y’all?”The rest of “The View” hosts largely agreed, with newcomer Alyssa Farah Griffin mocking those that actually take the time to write those negative reviews, solely based on being upset at diverse casting.
