Candace Cameron Bure no longer serves as host landscape to hot topics.
The host of the popular daytime talk show has spoken out following a backlash from Cameron and Christian supporters over the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Needless to say, they are not Team Candace.
Although they didn’t name Candace specifically, the four panelists agreed that the outrage over the drag-centric opening segment was unnecessary.
Whoopi Goldberg’s message to Candace Cameron Bure: Come on!
When The View returned on Monday, July 29, two days after the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow hosts jumped right into the hot topics.
“It’s like, come on you guys — it’s the Olympics! Stop!” Whoopi Goldberg said. “They don’t want to do anything but talk about history. They’re showing you history.”
In case you haven’t been following: Candace Cameron Bure thinks opening ceremony’s drag performance alludes to Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic late 15th-century Painting depicting his interpretation of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ. She called the performance “disgusting.”
However, organizers later confirmed that the performance was based on “The Feast of the Gods,” a 17th-century painting by Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert, which depicts the Greek gods sitting around a long table on Mount Olympus. around.
Still, the damage was done, and people’s minds – including Candace’s – couldn’t be shaken.
This leaves Whoopi and co. Angrier.
The Oscar winner advised those who were “not happy” with the episode to stop “spending 20 hours writing an email” and instead “watch something else.”
“Turn off the TV!” Whoopi exclaimed. “Look at something else! Put down the newspaper, don’t look at the photos, these are choices. These are our choices. You have the ability.
“Forget what Instagram tells you,” she continued. “If you don’t like it, go somewhere else! You don’t have to stay! You have the power to make a change.
View co-hosts all agree: You’re missing the ‘message’
Sarah Hines, who often speaks openly about her religious beliefs, agrees with Whoopi that the purpose of the show is not to “subvert or ridicule or shock” but to “send a message of love, a message of inclusion, not to A message of love”. Come and share. “
“I’m very frustrated with religion,” Sarah admits, before offering some advice to other people of faith. “Don’t follow the literal meaning of the Bible, but follow the example of the word—live with grace, live with forgiveness.”
Ana Navarro then stepped in to point out that the drag section, which was reminiscent of The Last Supper, was “just a small part of an event that lasted nearly four hours.”
“I guess that’s what consumes most of America, and I would say it happens every four years,” Navarro said. “There are young men who have trained their whole lives just to represent our country. .can we focus on them?
Yes, come on — can we watch Simone Biles dominate?
