How The View Helped Us Process Uvalde

We don't usually turn to The View to calm our frayed nerves, but this week saw the show at its very best as it met the moment to deliver an affecting and (one hopes) mobilizing plea for gun reform in the wake of the horrific mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas. In this episode of The View in Review, we discuss the co-hosts’ reaction to the tragedies, Kellyanne Conway’s contentious appearance, the show’s impending “epic” announcement, and more.
