After actress Cheryl Hines, wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

“I think we should have more Republicans on the show. They\u2019re scared of us,” co-host Joy Behar said.<\/p>\n

(Lou Rocco \/ Getty)<\/p>\n The co-hosts questioned Hines<\/a> about her husband\u2019s work in the Trump administration, leading to a tense exchange between the actress and co-host Sunny Hostin, who accused Kennedy Jr. of being the “least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we have had in history.”<\/p>\n Hines pushed back, responding that an HHS secretary during the Obama administration had an economics background.<\/p>\n When Hostin accused Kennedy of spreading misinformation, Hines responded by citing what she said were inaccuracies promoted by Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n CHRIS PRATT WISHES RFK JR., TRUMP ADMIN SUCCESS, ADVISES AGAINST BEING ‘MIRED IN HATRED’ FOR THE PRESIDENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n U.S. presidential candidate Robert F.

But that\u2019s the great thing about \u2018The View,\u2019 you know, we want people to come and give their views, and everyone who comes here, we try to be respectful, and we ask tough questions.”<\/p>\n “We ask tough questions because we\u2019re otherwise speculating,” she added.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is one of the few Republicans who has appeared on “The View.” (ABC News\/Screenshot)<\/p>\n Behar remarked that Republicans are too “scared” to come on the program and referenced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who recently said<\/a> there are “a lot of weak Republican men and they\u2019re more afraid of strong Republican women.”<\/p>\n Behar added, “Well, that might be true of all political persuasions. But if they would come on this show and they can explain to us what they\u2019re trying to do to this country, I\u2019d like to hear it.”<\/p>\n Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin noted that Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a>, R-Texas, had previously appeared on the show and suggested other GOP lawmakers who could make interesting guests, such as Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.<\/p>\n Hostin added, “I do think it\u2019s important that Robert Kennedy Jr. comes on this show. I think that would be important.” \u00a0<\/p>\n![\""The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/view-navarro-gop.jpg\")
