- Guest host Abby Huntsman described Trump's comments as "rock bottom" and indefensible, while Whoopi Goldberg stressed the importance of decency and empathy, suggesting people should say "Go with God" even about those they dislike.
- Ana Navarro criticized Trump's pattern of speaking poorly about deceased individuals, including Senator John McCain and director Rob Reiner, and urged condemnation of such behavior to maintain moral consistency.
