HBO host Bill Maher had some harsh words for the co-hosts of “The View” on Monday.

While interviewing actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore on his “Club Random” podcast, Maher admitted he doesn’t think that the five women who host the ABC show are the best spokespeople for the female perspective. “And I like everyone, but I don’t know if they’re really at this moment the best advertisement for women,” he told the actress.

The topic came up when “The Drew Barrymore Show” host told Maher to visit New York City and be a guest on her show, which prompted Maher to talk about his friendship with several of the women on “The View.”

Isn't this the most misogynistic show on television?

Oh, so they’re women? Whoda thought?

It depends on what the meaning of “women” is. Am I right, Bill Clinton? Up high!

What is he talking about? Whoopi is PLENTY of woman....

“””Oh, so they’re women? Whoda thought?”””””

Women? Could I get a ruling from the judge on that?

[SaxxonWoods]

He’s trying to criticize them without dissing them “too much”. Which looks worse than just ignoring them.

[Veto!]

I had to look to see who is on The View, since I’ve never watched the show.
They look like a bunch of morons to me. Not fellow females I’d like to know.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Not the best representatives of humanity in general.

She sure is. But before anyone here gets any ideas about dating her, note one important thing. Whoopi likes her men in blackface.Ted Danson in this case.

I don't think the 'ladies' of The View ever intended to speak for women.

Their intentions, are exactly the same as the major TV networks and the liberal media and the democrat party. That is, to be the opposition to all republican policies and to all republican office-holders, especially Trump.

They were not as rabidly radical when Barbara Walters was there, but, they are unhinged and deranges and delusional in all their views. They only represent the ultra-liberal democrats, and only the progressive/communist elements of the democrats.

Haha!
Like him or not, Maher can be very insightful — and he does have a way with the language. Ha!

They were around more than 20 years before Trump was running for president.

[shelterguy]

Ask Whoopie why her boyfriend Ted Danson is doing the Nazi salute.

They were around more than 20 years before Trump was running for president.

Re-read my entire post. Notice that I wasn't talking exclusively about Trump.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

They are the perfect advertisement for old, out-of-touch, extremely liberal women.

Bill - Hell has no wrath as a (liberal, woke) woman scorned! Don’t be surprised when your liberal, woke irrational so-called friends cancel you. You’ll get a small taste of what sane Americans have been putting up with for too many years.

The View really needs the Nairobi Trio as the house band to flirt with them.
