“He Sold His Soul” [WATCH]

The hosts of The View did not hold back when discussing Tucker Carlson’s recent decision to distance himself from Donald Trump, as reported by Decider.

During Monday’s broadcast, the panel reacted sharply to the former Fox News host’s public criticism of Trump and his stance on the ongoing war in Iran.

Ana Navarro led the charge, expressing fatigue over what she called Carlson’s constant reinventions.

“I just find keeping up with Tucker Carlson’s conversions very exhausting because he is very different person than the person who was on CNN’s Crossfire and a very different person from the guy he was on Fox News, and a very different person now from the guy who he was five minutes ago,” she said.

Navarro continued her takedown with a jab at Carlson’s unpredictability. “I just don’t have the 90 minutes to see which Tucker Carlson is gonna show up,” she added, explaining that viewers never know “which of his shady personas is gonna show up.”

Despite her criticism, Navarro acknowledged that Carlson still holds “great influence and a ton of followers,” observing that his words could shape opinions among “normal people.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin expanded on the discussion, saying Carlson’s break from Trump reportedly stemmed from disagreements over the Iran conflict and a controversial post in which Trump depicted himself as Jesus.

“It was really that? It was the Easter Jesus? It wasn’t the years of things over the last decade?” Griffin asked pointedly.

Sunny Hostin followed with a scathing critique aimed directly at Carlson’s credibility and moral choices over the years.

She listed the issues she believed he had overlooked during his support of Trump: “It wasn’t the racism, and the misogyny, and the xenophobia, and the anti-LGBTQ+.”

Hostin then accused Carlson of having prioritized wealth over integrity. “Tucker Carlson got paid $20 million a year to basically lie to the American people,” she claimed. “And he sold his soul for that 20 million, that’s very clear to me.”

The conversation showed a consistent skepticism among the hosts regarding Carlson’s sudden turn away from Trump. They questioned whether his shift represented genuine disillusionment or another public rebranding.

At the same time, Joy Behar struck a slightly more forgiving tone when discussing others who had begun to distance themselves from Trump.

She mentioned former Georgia State Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently criticized Trump’s policies. “I don’t hold grudges. If they want to come over to my side, I’m taking them,” Behar said to laughter from the audience.

Viewers watching The View’s fiery exchange saw a range of emotions: Navarro’s exhaustion, Griffin’s skepticism, Hostin’s outrage, and Behar’s strategic openness.

The segment underscored how the former Fox News host remains a lightning rod even after leaving the network.

As the political landscape continues to shift, the panel’s heated discussion captured a moment where former allies and critics alike are reassessing their positions.

Carlson’s evolving relationship with Trump, and the reaction it sparked on live television, became another flashpoint in the ongoing cultural conversation about media influence and political loyalty.
