Kathie Lee Gifford, a TV show personality, has criticized "The View" for being more polarizing and "vicious" than it was years ago. She appeared on the "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless" podcast and stated that she feels the public is more divided now. She also shared her own faith and expressed her desire for more "heaven" in people's lives. The show has been known for heated on-air spats and behind-the-scenes drama, with former co-host Meghan McCain previously stating she left the show after a brutal comment from Joy Behar when she returned from maternity leave.
