ABC’s “The View” got slammed after a segment on Monday showing children in Halloween costumes with one young child dressed all in gold as an Oscar with a red painted handprint across the face memorializing actor Will Smith’s attack on comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.

“This year, the Oscars made huge headlines, but it really, it wasn’t about who won, it was about what happened with Best Actor Will Smith when he went up and slapped Chris Rock,” intoned Ashley Alderfer Kaufman, wardrobe supervisor for the show.

“Now we do not want to endorse violence of any kind but we couldn’t help but talk about one of the hottest hot topics of the year,” she continued. “’So we have our interpretation, we have an Oscar statue, we call this the Oscars slap. He has a red facepaint on the statue.”

The first costume at which the hosts cackled in laughter was a young boy with a blonde wig dressed as former President Trump who was attached to a toilet with “Top-Secret” documents attached to it. He was accompanied by two children dressed as FBI agents.

“One of the hugest (sic) topics you guys talked about this year: the raid on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago, estate” Kaufman enthused. “The top secret documents, what did he do? He flushed them down the toilet,” she chortled. “So we have Trump as a toilet with our FBI agents.”

Various social media users bashed “The View” for the Oscar costume with comments such as these:

“Not a fan of that Oscar slap costume.”

“The Oscar Slap? Really?”

“I know they not about to talk about this Oscars slap again.”

“The Oscar Slap for a hot topic for Halloween on the view? Next time just pass on this suggestion! Otherwise great Halloween costumes!”

“Bad taste on the Oscar slap. You did validate violence Ashley.”

“Difficult to keep up with everything but the red handprint on one’s face is the symbol for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Too bad no one was able to flag this costume idea in advance.”

“What was that Chris Rock costume??? ‘I don’t want to endorse violence but here’s a costume endorsing violence.’ DO BETTER!!”

After Smith’s slap at the Oscars, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg opined, ““I think he overreacted. I think he had one of those moments where it was like [godd*** it], just stop. I get it, not everybody acts the way we would like them to act under pressure. And he snapped.”

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake believes she knows why outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney and the media like to target her – she's a truth teller and therefore, a threat.

"I'm speaking the truth … We can't talk about all these issues because the media has told us they're prohibited," Lake said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday. "You can't talk about vaccines. You can't talk about elections. You can't talk about Paul Pelosi now. You can't talk about Nancy Pelosi, and you can't talk about the elections, and you can't talk about COVID. And I'm talking about all those things because I still believe we have a little bit of the First Amendment left."

"I'm dangerous to people like Liz Cheney and the folks that she hangs out with and they want to stop people like me," Lake added.

Cheney, who will leave Congress after losing her primary to attorney Harriet Hageman, recently declared she has never voted for a Democrat but would vote for Lake's opponent Katie Hobbs if she lived in Arizona.

Lake has told Fox News that Cheney has incidentally – albeit unintentionally – become her campaign's top fundraiser to-date, as the gubernatorial hopeful's coffers swelled after the former vice president's daughter went after her.

"I've got to extend a big thank you to Liz. And at this rate, we might have to invite her to our inaugural ball because we're going to have to thank her for bringing in so much fundraising money for us," Lake quipped to host Tucker Carlson

When asked about the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi's allegedly by David DePape, 42, Lake said it appears to be taboo to identify the suspect as an illegal immigrant.

While DePape overstayed a visa from his native Canada, Lake said the illegal immigration issue is a top issue Arizonans worried about securing their own southern border.

"The reporters never even ask that because it proves the point that having a wide open border means more crime, higher incidence of crime for American citizens. And that's what we're seeing here in Arizona," she said.

"And you talked about the homeless man (DePape) that was found half-naked in Pelosi's home. This is why Republicans have ideas to stop these problems. I have a homeless policy. The press doesn't want to talk about that. I have a policy to work to end chronic street homelessness, get people, help get them off the streets, and return quality of life for the hardworking people of Arizona."
