The ladies over at The View are at it again, folks. Monday’s episode was basically a televised meltdown over Chuck Schumer’s decision to support the Republican-led Continuing Resolution, which kept the government funded until September. And let’s just say, they were not happy about it.
Leading the charge was Whoopi Goldberg, who—bless her heart—apparently thinks Chuck Schumer owes her an explanation. She announced, in all seriousness, that she plans to have a “heart-to-heart” with him when he appears on their show Tuesday. Because, you know, the Senate Majority Leader definitely reports to The View now. Whoopi’s audience laughed, but you could tell the frustration was real.
Now, to be fair, Sara Haines attempted to bring a little reason into the discussion. She pointed out that Schumer didn’t have great options here—either let the government shut down or go along with Republicans to keep things running. And, shocker, she acknowledged something that seems to elude most of her cohosts: government shutdowns tend to make the party pushing for them look bad. That’s just political reality. If Democrats had forced a shutdown, they would have given Trump and Elon Musk (yes, somehow Musk got dragged into this) an easy scapegoat, shifting the focus away from Republican leadership.
But reason doesn’t fly on The View, and Ana Navarro was not having it. She basically told Haines that logic doesn’t matter because, in her words, Republicans are already “doing whatever the hell they want.” Then she launched into a bizarre analogy about showers and rain to prove her point, which, frankly, made about as much sense as the Democrats’ economic policies.
Ana Navarro clashes with Haines and starts yelling at her:
HAINES: This is taking off all the guardrails and let them do whatever the hell they want.

Then there’s Sunny Hostin, who argued that Schumer should have fought harder, because—get this—Republicans would have been blamed for the shutdown anyway. That’s right, even though Democrats had the power to avoid it, she still thinks the GOP would have somehow taken the fall. Classic leftist logic: heads we win, tails you lose.
Farah Griffin questions Hostin on how the GOP would be responsible when it’s “Democrats who would have to come to the table.”

And, of course, there was the usual pearl-clutching over Trump, as if he was secretly pulling Schumer’s strings behind the scenes. For a group that constantly accuses Republicans of obsessing over the past, they sure do spend a lot of time screaming about a man who isn’t even in office.
But let’s be real about what’s happening here. The left wants chaos. They wanted a government shutdown so they could blame it on Republicans and ride the outrage train into election season. They don’t actually care about keeping the government running or ensuring stability—they care about optics and political theater. And when Chuck Schumer, for once, made a rational decision, they turned on him like a pack of angry Twitter activists.
Schumer chose the least disastrous option. But on The View, if you’re not fully committed to progressive purity, you’re the enemy. They want complete resistance, total obstruction, and an endless cycle of outrage. And when reality gets in the way? Well, that’s when they start ranting about Trump, Elon Musk, and, apparently, rain showers.
