'The View' co-hosts reveal ultimate 'deal-breaker' in their marriages and a lot of it is about Trump
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The View' co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin shared their takes on partners holding different spiritual or political beliefs.
The subject was brought up for discussion around the Hot Topics table as celebrity couple Chynna Phillips and Billy Baldwin recently opened up about how Phillips' newfound Christian faith affected their marriage.

Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin can't handle political differences with their partners
"I can handle spiritual, but politically..." began Behar. "Someone wants to be spiritual, go to church, I don't care. Let them have fun. But like, I can go out with a Republican, but if he was like a Trump-(support)er... I value my sanity, okay? So I don't think I can do that," Behar added.
She found support with Hostin, who said, "Spiritually, Manny (her husband) and I are both Catholic, we are on the same page. Our kids go to church with us we all go together. But if he, all of a sudden, put a 'Trump 2024' sticker on his car..."
"That's a deal-breaker," chimed in Behar, and Hostin agreed, saying, "I think it might be a deal-breaker for me."
"I think I wouldn't understand any of it. It would be so confusing," she added.
Sara Haines' understanding with her husband on religious views
Sara Haines said that the topic hit home for her when she got married, as she had a religious upbringing under the Christian faith, while her husband Max was Jewish, but did not practice and had no traditions.
"So he came in and I said, 'I want Church for these kids, it is very important for me.' And we go back and forth and finally, he agreed. So recently I found a church and the kids are going, but I always told Max he'd have to come," she continued.
"Because in my town, everyone was similar in their religion, and the dads that stayed at home were just like cop-outs, so the kids were like, 'Why does dad get to stay at home?'"
"But dad's Jewish!" interjected Behar, earning a laugh from the audience.
Haines later shared that though her husband likes to visit, she no longer holds the opinion that he has to accompany her every week.
"I see it more of like shared values," stated Griffin.
"As long as we have the same core beliefs, I feel like it works," she mentioned. "I once dated a Jewish guy and I was like it's related enough that that could work. I think it gets harder if it's fundamentally different viewpoints because that gets hard with raising kids."
The discussion was concluded by Goldberg saying it all came down to whether the couple involved could make their relationship work, and that she personally was not much bothered by this as she happened to be single.
