<p>The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; made it clear on Tuesday&#8217;s show that they were fine with inflammatory rhetoric as long as it was aimed at people or parties they disliked — primarily Republicans and former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>In the face of multiple calls from both sides — and even from President Joe Biden, who claimed that it was only Republicans who were guilty of such incendiary rhetoric — to &#8220;lower the temperature&#8221; of American political discussions, the hosts argued that because they believed themselves to be &#8220;calling out the truth&#8221; it wasn&#8217;t important that they were feeding into the very divisiveness they complained about.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just think that calling out the truth is not turning up the heat, right?&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin said, claiming that Biden was right when he said it was fine to call Trump evil and an existential threat while demanding that Republicans tone things down. &#8220;Tone matters, words matter, but facts matter too.&#8221;</p>

<p>Co-host Sara Haines argued that &#8220;intention&#8221; mattered more than tone, saying she too believed it was telling the truth to attack Republicans and only inflammatory if it was directed at Democrats. &#8220;It&#8217;s not we&#8217;ve got to storm the Capitol. Like, there&#8217;s a difference&#8230;I see a very clear difference in the rhetoric.&#8221;</p>

<p>Alyssa Farah Griffin, a self-described Republican who previously worked in the Trump administration, made no mention of Biden&#8217;s incendiary comments and argued that the burden was on Trump — who had survived an assassination attempt just days earlier — to make the first move in lowering the temperature.</p>
