The women of ABC’s “The View” sparked discussion during Monday’s episode regarding a story that quotes San Antonio megachurch pastor John Hagee as saying women should be prosecuted for holy exclamations during sex.

Problem is the story was fake.

Whoopi Goldberg, Raven Symone and other panelists went off about the alleged statements made by Hagee, who preaches at San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church. When Goldberg summarized the situation to the crowd, there were howls of laughter.

“Arrest every woman in this audience,” said one panelist. “Bring out the cuffs, OK.”

Symone went on to discuss why religious figures are so mum about sex when it's how life is created.

The story surrounding Hagee originated from Newslo.com, a satirical website that has a feature that highlights a story’s facts, offering a way to determine what’s true or false.

In the satirical story, Hagee allegedly said:

“There is no greater sin in terms of wrongly using God’s name than women who use it during sex. That is one of the filthiest, most derogatory and sinful uses of the Lord’s name I can think of. “If it were up to me, I would put every single woman or girl who does that in jail.”

One panelist even made personal jabs at Hagee’s sexual performance, which caused a stir in the audience.
