On “The View,”

During Hines’ “View” interview, cohosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg said it was “not fair” to put her “on the spot” about her husband’s policies. They added it was not her “fight to be having.” However, questions about his views on vaccines and qualifications for the health and human services role continued.

Cohost Sunny Hostin said Kennedy has “spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion.”

Hines attempted to reply, but Hostin continued, “he’s connecting circumcisions to autism.”

“May I? May I finish?” Hines asked before talking about Anthony Fauci “saying when you get the vaccine, you cannot transmit COVID, it will stop COVID, that was disinformation.”

Eventually, Goldberg said it was important for the show to welcomothers with different viewpoints. She then asked Hines to come back.

“We don’t often get people on this show who we can ask these questions to, and I appreciate that you came on,” Goldberg said. “Because you know what, if we can have the discussion back and forth, it then becomes people’s — then they can decide what they believe, and they don’t just hear one side.”

Hines’ Rep told Entertainment Weekly she still considers her time on “The View” “a success.”

“Cheryl engaged with respect and class, in light of them asking her repeatedly to defend her husband, which by the way was not the purpose of her appearance, it was to discuss her new memoir ‘Unscripted,’” the rep said. “She was completely unbothered, as one would have to be living in a cave to think they wouldn’t make Bobby the primary focus.”
