Bill Maher criticized the hosts of The View Monday, suggesting they poorly represent women.
On his Club Random podcast with Drew Barrymore, aired Monday, he questioned their qualifications to speak for women, saying, "I don’t know if they’re really, at this moment, the best advertisement for women."
Despite liking some hosts, like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, he called the show "a lot" and implied their remarks could harm Democratic election efforts.

Barrymore defended the show’s format and praised Maher’s balanced perspective. A recent Media Research Center study highlighted The View’s bias, noting 102 liberal guests this year and zero conservatives. The show is on hiatus until September.
