Overview
- In the Dec. 14 episode of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman on Paramount+, Billy Bob Thornton’s character calls The View “a bunch of pissed-off millionaires bitching” about millionaires, Trump, men, and others.
- Entertainment outlets highlighted the scene the same day, and Entertainment Weekly said it sought comment from The View with no response published.
- Thornton recently told Joe Rogan that stars should skip political speeches at awards shows and fund causes directly if they have the means.
- Coverage notes The View’s current panel—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin—frequently critiques Trump and conservatism.
- Reporting also recalls a November statement from the White House that derided several View hosts over their Epstein-file discussion and repeated mentions of Trump.
