WATCH: ‘The View’ Host Sunny Hostin Gets Roasted After Making Bizarre Claim

Things took a turn into the especially absurd on “The View” Monday after host Sunny Hostin said she knows what’s behind the solar eclipse, earthquakes, “zombie” cicadas, and other apocalyptic foreshadowings.

After another host joked that last week’s earthquake along the East Coast “originated with Donald Trump,” Hostin suggested that climate change is to blame for the rash of exceptional natural events. Somewhere, she said, she “read” that the emergence of cicadas “every 100 years” is a sign of the end of times.

“We’ve got a solar eclipse, we’ve got the earthquake… and also I learned that cicadas are coming, for the first time in like 100 years,” she said, prompting Whoopi Goldberg to jump in and try to save her from further embarrassing herself.

“No, no, no. There’s two different kinds of cicadas,” the comedian said after facepalming.

“The bad type is coming, for the first time in many, many years,” Hostin continued before Goldberg cut her off again. “Every 17 years this happens,” she shot back, leading her colleague to reply “That’s not what I read.”

Goldberg is, in fact, closer to the truth, according to the University of Connecticut which states that two broods of cicadas emerge every 13 and 17 years, respectively.

“But all those things together would lead one to believe that either, you know, climate change exists, or something is really going on,” she concluded.

Joy Behar, no stranger to fiction, jumped in quickly. “Earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change,” she replied.

In the everlasting words of Principal James Downy in “Billy Madison,” “Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy capitalized on the idiocy, releasing his own video on X predicting the downfall of humanity based in part on “quasi-religious attitudes” about climate change.

“In 2024, the ladies of The View think it’s a result of climate change,” he wrote while expressing awe for scientists’ ability to predict the exact arrival of Monday’s solar eclipse.

Whether it’s getting schooled by anti-woke writers or going on bizarre rants against men, “The View” has proven to be an endless source for parody-level liberal exclamations that prove just how divorced from reality the hosts have become.

In February, Dr. Phil educated the five women on the effects school lockdowns had on kids after some of the hosts challenged him on whether reopening schools earlier would have led to the death of more children.

“Are you saying no schoolchildren died of COVID?” Joy Behar asked later on.

“I’m saying it was the safest group. They were the less vulnerable group, and they suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure to COVID,” Dr. Phil clarified, before delivering a final punch that brought the show’s left-wing audience to cheers.

“And that’s not an opinion. That’s a fact.”
