A myriad of other fans of the show also chimed in on the conversation on Twitter. Check out the tweets below.
Watching #TheView and the way Whoopi, Joy, & Meghan are defending Biden & coming down on @Sunny for pointing out this racial “blind spots” is sickening. Like...why is he off limits? Why can’t he be criticized?

For some reason, Sunny irks Whoopi. I think Sunny scratches at the very thing Whoopi tries hard not to see...racism. Was glad that she bit at Meghan too, who obviously was trying to pile on. #petty

I’ve loved Whoopi for decades, but the way she coddles McCain & ALWAYS rolling her eyes @ Sunny! I don’t get it & I don’t like it. She fight so hard for @MeghanMcCain to share her view & mocks @sunny for hers? The audience isn’t stupid & Sunny is a fan fave!#TheView
