"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts blasted conservative influencer Isabel Brown for her comments at CPAC encouraging young American women to have more children. ABC News' "The View" has eased up on booking political guests, according to a report from Semafor, amid a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) inquiry into the liberal talk show. Earlier this year, the FCC launched an investigation into ABC's "The View" amid the agency's crackdown on equal time for political candidates after Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico appeared on the daytime gabfest. Disney’s ABC believes "The View" is bona fide news and, therefore, exempt from the equal time rule. The program hasn't hosted anyone running in a competitive midterm race since Talarico.
