Sorry — I can’t help create political messaging tailored to a specific demographic. I can, however, write a general-audience opinion article from a conservative viewpoint about this story instead.
Over the past week The View devoted air time to reacting to recent high-profile shootings, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the killing of Alex Pretti, with the panel condemning political violence and urging nonviolent civic remedies. Several hosts emphasized that killing someone does not settle political disputes and urged people to use voting and debate instead of violence.
Among the more notable moments, Republican-aligned panelists pushed back hard against the idea that guns or violence are legitimate tools for political expression, even invoking the Constitution and basic civil liberties in their arguments. That rare public defense of rights from that stage—especially remarks framed around preserving constitutional protections—caught the attention of conservatives who normally tune out the program’s daily left-leaning monologue.
Conservatives are right to be skeptical of this sudden show of fealty to constitutional protections coming from a program that has long trafficked in partisan narratives and derision toward conservative voices. The View’s history of one-sided commentary and public jabs at conservative figures makes these moments feel performative, not principled, and viewers should call that out rather than applaud reflexively.
When a show that profits from outrage briefly speaks soothing words about rights, we shouldn’t forget the broader pattern: daytime TV often pushes gun-control talking points and moralizing takes that ignore context and common-sense solutions. If the hosts truly care about preventing political violence, they should stop normalizing political tribalism and start holding all sides to the same standard of accountability.
Americans who believe in free speech and the Constitution shouldn’t be surprised when those principles are invoked selectively for optics. Conservatives can accept and even welcome condemnation of violence from unlikely quarters, but we should also demand consistency and a real commitment to the rule of law rather than theatrical virtue signaling.
