The View's Sara Haines doles out brutal advice to Trump-hating viewers that they won't want to hear
The View co-host Sara Haines offered her colleagues and others who constantly bash President Donald Trump some sage advice on the show Wednesday. Haines suggested that Trump critics should 'pick your battles' during a discussion about the president's controversial pardon of reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley. The Chrisley Knows Best stars were found guilty of federal charges of tax evasion and conspiring to swindle community banks in 2022, and Todd was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison while Julie was sentenced to seven. Both terms have since been shortened. On Wednesday's show, Ana Navarro insisted that 'we have to not normalize this and allow it to continue to happen,' saying that it is 'not normal or honest or ethical' that 'there's a For Sale sign on the lawn of the White House.' She claimed that with the Chrisleys pardons, Trump is proving that 'if you are a supporter, if you are a donor, then you can buy pardons.' But Haines disagreed. 'Everyone reacts to everything saying "Don't normalize this" whenever Trump does something outrageous,' she noted, arguing: 'There's a strategy to picking your battles.' She went on to use what she described as 'proverbs' to prove her point, telling the audience: 'The man who chases two rabbits catches neither' and 'When you yell at everything, nobody hears anything.' 'There's a strategy to not jumping every time he does something,' Haines argued, claiming that Trump pardoning his supporters is 'not surprising.' Still, Haines said she did not want to insinuate that 'any of this is not bad' as she tried to direct the audience on where to direct their anger at the president. 'I'm more upset about the Qatari jet, the January 6th pardons - which were violent criminals, the deportations without due process, the attacks on federal institutions with no cause,' she said. 'Those, to me, are fundamentally way more problematic.' But when she was done, woke co-host Joy Behar noted: 'That's a lot of rabbits you listed.' It now appears that Haines may have been following the guidance of her bosses at ABC News and Disney, who have reportedly asked the notoriously liberal panel to dial back their constant complaining about the president. ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic suggested the women needed to broaden their conversations, highlighting episodes with celebrity guests that he said earned high ratings. Disney CEO Bob Iger reportedly made a similar request. But Navarro has argued that viewers tune in to hear the panel's perspective on politics and is said to have taken it upon herself to push back against the Disney boss. In doing so, however, Navarro may have made a dangerous error, as Fox News reports that her co-hosts actually 'agree' with Iger and are happy to change the direction of the show. The stars are also said to fear that 'ignoring Bob Iger seems like a terrible decision' as bosses on the talk show are famously brutal with dumping stars who do not play by the rules or who are disliked by the audience. 'The View is a daytime network talk show and needs to do more than just politics and Trump bashing. This was a welcome direction for many of us,' one source explained. Many audience members, though, were outraged by Haines' remarks Even so, Haines' comments on Wednesday appeared to have set off a firestorm among its liberal audience members - many of whom took to X to express their outrage at her remarks. 'So Sara is normalizing Trump pardoning criminals because Trump has too many other things for us to be mad about?!' one user wrote, as another added, 'the s*** can still be called out Sara.' A third asked what Haines was 'babbling about.' '"Not jumping every time Trump does something?!" Then maybe he shouldn't keep doing/getting away with so many egregious acts, you dingbat!?!' the X user wrote, while a fourth said they were 'sorry, not sorry' for their remarks toward Haines. 'Why shouldn't we be outraged at EVERY unethical or illegal act he does,' the X user wrote, rhetorically.

Michael Strahan was left shocked when he got to know a family secret from ex colleague Sara Haines The Weekend View – May 24, 2025 Recently, Michael Strahan's ex colleague Sara Haines spoke about an incident related to the NFL legend's family that she got to know before Strahan. On The Weekend View, Sara Haines said, 'I went to shoot with his parents before his father died because I wanted … to give him time with his parents … where they just talked about him. They shared with me that they ate the pig.' The pig that Sara Haines was speaking about was a family pig that the Strahan family had while Michael Strahan was growing up along with his siblings. Sara Haines added, 'I come back and I'm giving Michael a hard time, as one would, and I joked about the pig. And he's like, 'What are you talking about?' He didn't know.

Whoopi Goldberg sparks uproar with her divisive take on Emmanuel Macron being 'shoved' by wife Brigitte
Whoopi Goldberg has sparked uproar from fans of The View after she claimed that French president Emmanuel Macron 's wife Bridgette was simply 'reaching' for his face rather than shoving him. On Sunday evening, a shocking video emerged of Brigitte, 72, appearing to show her pushing her husband's face away as their plane touched down in Vietnam. In the clip, she places both hands on her husband's face and gives it a shove. Macon, 47, has since dismissed claims that they were having an altercation and instead said they were simply 'joking around.' The View host Whoopi, 69, had strong feelings about the viral moment on Tuesday's episode of talk show and while she said she found the footage 'hard to watch,' she argued that Brigitte was simply 'reaching' for Macron's face. She also added that she finds the press attention 'intrusive' and 'uncomfortable.' 'I'm sorry, what I saw – and maybe I'm crazy - but I saw someone doing this,' Whoopi said, attempting to reenact the moment with Sara Haines. 'Come here, let me move you.' 'I did not see that,' Sara, 47, retorted. 'I saw embarrassment.' 'That's what I saw,' Whoopi maintained. 'Reaching for his face.' She continued: 'This kind of stuff bothers me because people make decisions about stuff they don't know anything about. 'Because having been on the other side of this, I find it intrusive and because no one ever says, "well, what happened?" 'And when you say this is what happened, we were fooling around and whatever, people don't take you at your word and so for me, I find it uncomfortable.' Whoopi added: 'It doesn't help because it's our scrutiny, but it's hundreds of magazines around the world. It's hundreds of TV stations, and, you know, it comes up all the time. 'Just the fact that they have a difference in their relationship is something that people hold on to. I find it's hard for me to watch. It's hard for me to do it but that's just me.' Whoopi's fellow panelists felt uneasy about Bridgette's exchange with Macon and called into question their age gap relationship and power dynamics. Sara commented: 'What happened after this exchange he offers her his hand and she doesn't take it. 'So, the joking narrative is sweet, I mean, we won't ever know what's going on here.' Whoopi, however, interjected, to add: 'I can tell you why she doesn't want to take his hand. Because she doesn't want you to think she can't come down the stairs. 'We just got through saying how much older she is than he is.' Alyssa said that if the roles were reversed, she would be saying the footage was 'inappropriate.' She began: 'With due respect to our French allies and I have met Emmanuel Macron, they have an odd relationship. 'He was a student, she was a teacher. I don't think it would fly in America or get a lot more scrutiny how it came about but seem to have had a healthy marriage as far as I can see to date.' Alyssa continued: 'I will give them the benefit of the doubt but if the roles were reversed and saw a man come for a woman's face like that I would be at the front of the line picketing saying it's inappropriate.' Viewers were transfixed by Whoopi's remarks and argued that she was wrong. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: 'Sorry Whoopi, but NO! The Macrons have a very weird relationship.' 'Whoopi fix those glasses, everybody knows what they saw,' another said. 'She hit that man and she didn't wanna take that man's hand, that didn't have anything to do with her being old. You probably needed to hold that rail coming down the stairs.' 'Whoopi STOP that was not fooling around or playing and that's not why she didn't take his hand lol they're human and got caught in a human moment, not a good look!' a third continued. 'Sorry Whoopi but cameras and scrutiny come with celeb/political life.' 'They were not fooling around! If they were she would have taken his arm!' added another. A fifth said: 'Sorry #Whoopi but #French president #EmmanuelMacron and his wife don't look playful in the least.' Macron addressed the uncomfortable scenes and has hit back at any theories. 'My wife and I were squabbling, we were rather joking, and I was taken by surprise,' he told reporters in Vietnam. Now it has 'become a kind of planetary catastrophe, and some are even coming up with theories. 'For three weeks, there have been people who have watched videos and who think that I shared a bag of cocaine, that I had a mano-a-mano with a Turkish president and now that I am having a domestic dispute with my wife. 'In these three videos, I took a tissue, shook someone's hand and just joked with my wife, as we do quite often. Nothing more.'

'And he's like, 'What are you talking about?' He didn't know. He didn't know 'cause they were all young.'

Michael Strahan reveals his parents did the unthinkable to his beloved childhood pet
You'd think that when your family decides to eat your childhood pet, they'd at least give you a heads-up. But apparently, that memo never made it to Michael Strahan. The Good Morning America co-host and former NFL star recently discovered a jaw-dropping truth about his childhood pet pig - and yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. During a special segment on The Weekend View, Michael's former GMA co-anchor Sara Haines revealed that his parents, Gene and Louise Strahan, had once spilled the secret to her in a pre-recorded interview before Gene's passing in 2020. 'I went to shoot with his parents before his father died,' Haines explained. 'I wanted to give him time with his parents, as one of five children, where they just talked about him.' But during that sweet little trip down memory lane, things took a dark turn. 'They shared with me that they ate the pig,' Haines revealed. And it turns out that Michael, now 53, had absolutely no idea. 'I come back and I'm giving Michael a hard time, as one would, and I joked about the pig,' Haines said. 'And he's like, "What are you talking about?" He didn't know. He didn't know 'cause they were all young.' Understandably shocked, Michael called his mom right away for clarification. 'He was like, "I had no idea,"' Haines said, laughing nervously. 'And I was like, "I didn't mean to betray the family trust! I just thought you told him!"' Despite the plot twist, Michael has never doubted how much his parents supported him growing up. 'I never knew I could accomplish so much, but my parents never act surprised,' he told People back in 2016. 'They look at me as if there's no limit. That helped me feel like there's no limit.' These days, the Strahan household is strictly a dog zone - no pigs allowed. Michael is a proud dog dad to Enzo and Zuma, introducing his latest pup to fans in 2023. 'Everyone meet Zuma Strahan' he captioned a sweet Instagram video. 'New puppy so Enzo has a sister!! Welcome home!' So while Michael may still be emotionally processing the fate of his childhood pig, at least he's made space for some new pets.
