Podcaster Joe Rogan recently slammed *The View,* calling it a “rabies-infested henhouse” after author Coleman Hughes faced backlash on the show for promoting a “colorblind” approach to race relations. Hughes, who authored *The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America,* argued that socio-economic status, not race, should drive efforts to solve inequalities.

Co-host Sunny Hostin criticized Hughes, suggesting he was a “pawn” for conservative views. Rogan defended Hughes on *The Joe Rogan Experience,* saying *The View* often ambushes guests and relies on “hate-watching” for views. Hughes admitted he didn’t expect the segment to go viral but noted Hostin’s approach felt agenda-driven.
