Ana Navarro and her co-hosts on The View roasted political speaker Isabel Brown for “encouraging” Gen Z women to have “more kids than they could afford before they think they’re ready” at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
The View played a clip of Brown’s remarks at CPAC, in which she addressed Gen Z, which Whoopi Goldberg shared is reportedly “the least likely group” to get pregnant now.
“If you’re not encouraging our children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids – more kids than they could afford before they think they’re ready. It’s high time to start,” Brown says in the clip. “It’s these decisions of deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying ‘I do’ at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country.”
Goldberg was the first to chime in and clap back at Brown’s statements.
“I just wanna say, years ago, they used to come after women of color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing and that’s why they continue to cut all these programs and erase all these things,” Goldberg complained, pointing to childcare programs.
Sara Haines also laid into Brown, adding, “Women, girls now have a choice. Let them do that.”
“We have come too far. The world has over eight billion people, we no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies,” she said.
“But also where is the call to responsibility to other men who help make these children?” Navarro demanded.
“I don’t know why it’s always people lecturing women what they have to do or not to do,” she complained. “Bottom line, if you don’t pay my bills, you don’t get to tell me what to do with my uterus.”
Guest host Whitney Cummings also chimed in with her own jabs at Brown, who she pointed out only recently gave birth to her first child.
“Let’s check in with your boobs in a year,” she joked.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
