The world is mourning Pope Francis, who passed away just days ago, but leave it to the ladies of “The View” to find a way to make it about pushing their politics.
Critics are slamming the daytime talk show hosts for reportedly using the Pontiff’s death as a springboard to advocate for open borders. NewsBusters flagged the segment, accusing the panel of exploiting the solemn occasion.

Instead of focusing on the Pope’s legacy of faith or his dedication to the poor and marginalized, “The View” allegedly hijacked the moment to push a preferred narrative on immigration. While tributes pour in from around the globe and the Vatican prepares for a conclave, the chat show seemingly couldn’t resist turning the Pope’s passing into another political talking point.
Many found Pope Francis’s focus on the vulnerable inspiring, but using his death to score points on border policy struck some observers as tasteless. It’s a move that’s drawn swift backlash, highlighting the stark contrast between reflecting on a spiritual leader’s life and leveraging it for partisan gain.
