It’s being reported now that Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News president Almin Karamehmedovic have told The View witches to tone down their Trump-bashing and focus on more celebrity interviews and discussions.

According to the Daily Beast, Ana Navarro and some of the other hosts didn’t like the suggestions and may ignore it.

Disney and ABC News have asked the hosts of The View to tone down their political rhetoric, multiple sources told the Daily Beast.

Since President Donald Trump’s election in 2024, the panel of co-hosts on The View—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin—have consistently criticized Trump administration officials and policies.

But its constant focus on Trump and politics seems to have roiled the network’s top bosses, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic.

Karamehmedovic convened a meeting with The View‘s executive producer Brian Teta and its hosts, and suggested the panel needed to broaden its conversations beyond its predominant focus on politics, two sources familiar with the meeting said. Karamehmedovic highlighted episodes with celebrity guests that he said were highly rated, one source said, and encouraged them to lean into such coverage moving forward.

The move was not framed as an edict, one source said, but the suggestion alone rankled the hosts. The group pushed back forcefully, with hosts like Navarro noting the show’s audience routinely seeks out its perspective on politics, especially when the administration’s radical attempts to upend the government can potentially affect their daily lives.

One source familiar with the meeting characterized the hosts as telling their boss, “‘This is what our audience wants. Isn’t it gonna look kind of bad if we’re all of a sudden not talking about politics?’”

Ultimately, the women found the requests “silly” and that “they were just going to keep doing their thing.”

Another source familiar with the matter said ABC will “constantly have conversations with talent based on viewer feedback, and this instance was no different,” suggesting the show’s viewers have indicated that they want the show to be less political.

If Trump-bashing really increased the ratings, Iger and Karamehmedovic wouldn’t be telling them to tone it down. But these bitties hate Trump so much they’ll probably just keep doing it until the hammer is dropped on them.
