‘The View’ hosts blasted for downplaying NYC’s migrant crisis: ‘Oblivious to reality’

Mayor Eric Adams’ claims that the crisis could “destroy” the city. On Friday’s edition of the talk show, Behar played an excerpt of Hizzoner speaking at a town hall meeting earlier this week, where he stated: “I don’t see an ending to this.

This issue will destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month.”“Little dramatic, isn’t it?” Behar — who reportedly boasts a $14 million property portfolio — asked the show’s audience after cutting from the clip. “He has a flair for drama,” Navarro chimed in.

Hostin — whose 10-bedroom Westchester home is currently on the market for $4.495 million — said she was “disappointed” in Adams’ comments, despite admitting there was a “problem” with the huge numbers of arrivals. “They’re looking for refuge,” the former prosecutor said of the migrants. “I thought this country, with its big Statue of Liberty, ‘give me your weak’ and all of this is supposed to be the country that accepts people.”The women were blasted on social media and on The View’s official YouTube channel, where commentators usually voice their support for the stars. “Sunny is either lying or oblivious to reality,” one YouTube viewer sniped. “It’s easy to say we should be an open arms country when you are wealthy and live in nice neighborhoods where there are no homeless people living outside your door on the sidewalk,” another declared. “This is like something out of a dystopian novel watching these wealthy dolled-up women go on TV and claim that the chaos that is happening outside right in front of your eyes isn’t really happening.
