The hosts of ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; attempted to explain President Donald Trump&#8217;s use of tariffs — or the threat of tariffs — during Monday&#8217;s broadcast, and aside from a brief moment of lucidity from Alyssa Farah Griffin, got everything wrong.
Griffin opened the discussion by noting that Trump&#8217;s threats had already succeeded in bringing Mexico and Canada to the negotiating table — and that both had pledged to aid in his efforts to control the flow of illegal immigrants and lethal drugs across the border and into the United States.
She then pivoted to warn that she believed Trump might be moving toward a more isolationist policy, which she claimed could lead to American allies siding with China instead.

Whoopi Goldberg

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; aired what amounted to a collective temper tantrum on Tuesday, complaining about the fact that President Donald Trump had unshackled federal agents and tasked them with enforcing immigration law.
The broadcast began with regular host Whoopi Goldberg, who responded to actress Selena Gomez&#8217; tearful video claiming that her &#8220;people&#8221; were being attacked. Goldberg then falsely claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were indiscriminately sweeping up any and all illegal immigrants for immediate deportation.
Border czar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homan-ice-has-made-1300-arrests-including-pedophiles-gang-members-and-at-least-1-terrorist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Homan</a>, who spoke to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo last week, explained that the agents are targeting criminal aliens first — meaning those who have committed additional crimes beyond simply entering the United States illegally — but that because some of them are hiding in sanctuary jurisdictions, there have also been some &#8220;collateral&#8221; arrests.
Goldberg complained that the Trump administration was not beginning by deporting people who were already in prison because they&#8217;d been convicted of crimes. Joy Behar, ignoring the fact that they were American citizens and had already been pardoned, claimed that Trump couldn&#8217;t do that because he&#8217;d &#8220;have to send the January 6th people back too.&#8221;

Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro squared off on Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; on ABC, taking opposite positions on former President Joe Biden&#8217;s 11th-hour blanket pardons for members of his own family.
Griffin and Navarro, both of whom self-identify as Republicans in spite of their support for far-Left former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, argued over whether Biden had set a dangerous precedent on his way out the door.
&#8220;I was floored that Joe Biden pardoned his whole family, and let me tell you why,&#8221; Griffin began. &#8220;He&#8217;s either — the most charitable interpretation is the Titanic is sinking, I&#8217;ve got a life raft for my family, but anyone else who challenged Trump, you better swim or you&#8217;re drowning. That&#8217;s my most charitable interpretation.&#8221;
&#8220;And finally, he didn&#8217;t do anything to protect people who testified against Donald Trump unless they happened to be wrapped up with the police officers, and it sets a very dangerous precedent,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Now Donald Trump can basically advise staff and his family to do anything unlawful and then just issue a blanket pardon when he leaves office. I think it&#8217;s disgraceful and it&#8217;s going to harm his legacy.&#8221;

&#8220;Can I just say, I think comparing Biden&#8217;s pardons to Trump&#8217;s is like comparing apples to Volkswagens,&#8221; Ana Navarro cut in. &#8220;It does not seem similar to me because Joe Biden&#8217;s family, the people he pardoned on the January 6th Committee, have not actually committed crimes, he is trying to prevent them from spending the rest of their lives fighting the government, which is no easy feat.&#8221;
Navarro made no mention of the congressional investigation into Biden&#8217;s family members and their foreign business dealings, nor did she mention that less than two weeks earlier, Biden had said he had no intention of issuing pardons to anyone who had not committed any crimes.

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; for the most part, were less than thrilled that a New York jury acquitted Marine veteran Daniel Penny on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely — who boasted an impressive rap sheet, and had been verbally threatening people on the subway before Penny stepped in.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg began by arguing that Penny was somehow out of line when he went to a bar in Manhattan to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/attorney-speaks-out-patrons-celebrate-daniel-penny-at-nyc-bar-after-acquittal">celebrate his acquittal</a>. She added that she believed the overall outcome of the case was proof that the justice system had failed.
“He celebrated the verdict with his lawyer while Neely’s family was mourning the loss,” she said.

Goldberg went on to say that she was bothered by the fact that the Marine veteran had chosen to toast his freedom at a bar: “I don’t know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable.”
She then addressed the verdict itself, arguing that it was a “failure of the court” that Penny was not convicted. She said that Neely’s behavior could have stemmed from his mother’s murder and argued that everyone — from the hospitals to the courts — had failed him.

Kamala Harris

Alyssa Farah Griffin announced to her fawning cohosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; on Tuesday that, for the first time in her life, she had voted for a Democrat in a presidential election.
Griffin worked in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House but exited quickly in the aftermath of the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill — and despite still claiming to be a Republican, she has spent a fair amount of her time on the ABC midday talk show attacking Trump and any other elected Republican who stands with him.
On Tuesday, as Americans went to the polls to choose between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Griffin admitted that she&#8217;d crossed party lines to vote for Harris.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation by asking Griffin how she felt about the election, and Griffin said she was &#8220;anxious but hopeful.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been — four years ago today, I was in the White House with Donald Trump on Election Night. I was there standing next to one of his cabinet officials when Arizona was called for Joe Biden and when it became increasingly clear that he was gonna lose,&#8221; she said, adding that she had believed he &#8220;deserved to lose&#8221; and had hoped that Republicans would spend the next four years &#8220;rebuilding&#8221; but without Trump. When that didn&#8217;t happen, she admitted, &#8220;For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris.&#8221;

Goldberg wrapped up the segment, lashing out at Trump voters and claiming that they no longer had the right to speak because she was tired of listening to them complain about what their kids might be taught in schools — despite the fact that what they have been fighting against has primarily been gender ideology and pornographic materials accessible to preschoolers and elementary-aged students.

'Republican' Host Of 'The View' Admits To Fawning Cohosts She Voted Kamala

2024 Election

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; responded on Wednesday to President Joe Biden&#8217;s comment — referring to former President Donald Trump&#8217;s supporters as &#8220;garbage&#8221; — by suggesting that the real problem was the Trump supporters who dared to object to the comparison.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation, arguing at first that the reaction to Biden&#8217;s remarks — made during a CNN appearance that aired in direct competition with Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign &#8220;closing argument&#8221; speech — amounted to an overblown &#8220;pearl clutch&#8221; from the political right.

&#8220;President Biden got a lot of blowback over these particular comments about you-know-who,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;The president — current president — said something and then everybody lost their minds.&#8221;
Goldberg played the clip of Biden then, clearly referring to Trump&#8217;s supporters as &#8220;garbage,&#8221; and then pivoted to explain that, since Biden was quick to &#8220;clarify&#8221; what he&#8217;d actually meant, the reaction from those who&#8217;d been labeled &#8220;garbage&#8221; by the sitting President of the United States was excessive.

Biden explained that he&#8217;d been referring to the rhetoric rather than the people, Goldberg said, &#8220;but that didn&#8217;t stop our MAGA friends from seizing upon it. PEARL CLUTCH!&#8221;
Goldberg then suggested that Trump supporters — who were literally quoting Biden&#8217;s exact words — were the ones attempting to &#8220;spin&#8221; his comments.
Cohost Joy Behar weighed in a bit later, complaining that Republicans — after months of saying that Biden was cognitively impaired — suddenly wanted to take him at his word.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a self-described Republican who has spent most of her time on &#8220;The View&#8221; attacking Trump, said that regardless of interpretation, the optics were bad — and Biden&#8217;s comment had &#8220;stepped on&#8221; Harris&#8217; major speech, the one that was designed to tie a bow on her presidential campaign.
She then quickly backtracked to complain of an unfair double standard, saying that Trump&#8217;s supporters said nothing when Trump insulted people but then got offended when Biden insulted them.
&#8220;Deplorables did matter. That comment from Hillary Clinton did matter,&#8221; Griffin explained.
&#8220;It turned out she was right,&#8221; Goldberg interrupted, prompting a few laughs.

What Right Do Trump Supporters Have To Dislike Being Called 'Garbage'?: 'The View'

The liberal hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; found themselves &#8220;in mourning&#8221; and going through the various stages of grief during Friday&#8217;s broadcast as they recapped the disastrous debate between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
The debate, which has reportedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-go-into-full-blown-panic-after-biden-debate-performance-swap-joe-out">caused panic</a> within the Democratic Party, showcased all of the frailty and confusion that conservative outlets have been pointing out in Biden — and put it on display in a way that very few have even attempted to excuse or explain away.
&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar was one of the few, advising her co-hosts not to &#8220;get too depressed yet&#8221; — while Sunny Hostin said that she was &#8220;mourning&#8221; — and suggesting that his lackluster performance was just due to a cold giving him a hoarse voice.

Co-host Sara Haines was among those who saw the debate and said that it was time for Biden to step aside, preferably soon, in the hopes that the Democratic Party could replace him in time to have a shot at winning the presidential election in November.
&#8220;President Biden needs to step down and be replaced,&#8221; Haines said – and she suggested that perhaps his team knew that and had intentionally scheduled the debate early enough to replace him.
Saying that the debate had been &#8220;really hard to watch,&#8221; Haines went on to admit that Democrats had been working overtime to spin Biden&#8217;s age and cognitive abilities as less concerning than they really were.
&#8220;Democrats need to stop spinning the age problem. Over and over Democrats have twisted themselves into a pretzel to say, &#8216;Don&#8217;t believe your lying eyes,'&#8221; Haines added, admitting that she and her co-hosts had done the same.

&#8220;It was stunningly worse than I expected, the performance,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Biden&#8217;s performance was so bad it eclipsed everything Donald Trump said.&#8221;
She went on to claim that &#8220;Trump world&#8221; was afraid of anyone the Democrats could replace Biden with, and said that Biden &#8220;needs to put country before his own ambition and he needs to step aside and pass the baton.&#8221;

'The View' Hosts 'In Mourning' After Disastrous Biden Debate

Debate

At least two people who worked for former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> — either on the campaign trail or in the White House — said Thursday that they believe ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen lied on the stand.
Both Bryan Lanza and Alyssa Farah Griffin said that Cohen, who has spent the last two days testifying against Trump in his Manhattan hush-money trial, had likely lied under oath when he told the court that he had not wanted to work in the Trump White House.
Lanza, former deputy communications director for the Trump-Pence campaign, told CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper that he had direct knowledge of Cohen&#8217;s desire to land a White House gig.
&#8220;[A]t least to me, Michael Cohen was pretty adamant that he wanted to be White House counsel. He said everything he was doing was to be White House counsel, he’s always injected himself with the space that I was in, which was the TV space, because Trump cared a lot about it. Just so, I always viewed that he’s always positioning, and he was pretty clear that he wanted to be White House counsel,&#8221; he said, joking that he did not want to be called to testify.
Griffin joined Tapper for a later segment, and said that while she had not personally witnessed Cohen saying he wanted to work in the White House, it was something of an open secret.
&#8220;I was working for a number of Republican lawmakers at that time, several of whom would go into the administration, including Mick Mulvaney as OMB director, and it was widely known and believed. Now, Michael Cohen never told me firsthand, &#8216;I’m going into the White House, I want to.&#8217; But it was widely discussed that he was angling for Attorney General or to be White House counsel. That’s, I mean, there’s dozens and dozens of people around Washington who could corroborate that,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My jaw hit the floor when I heard him denying that.&#8221;

The cohosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; spent nearly an entire segment complaining about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and his recent commencement speech criticizing both President Joe Biden and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg kicked off Thursday&#8217;s broadcast by saying that while she did not personally share Butker&#8217;s views on those topics, she believed it was important for him to have the same right to free speech and expression that everyone else had.
&#8220;He&#8217;s at a Catholic college, he&#8217;s a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs and he&#8217;s welcome to them, I don&#8217;t have to believe them, I don&#8217;t have to accept them,&#8221; Goldberg said. &#8220;The same way we want respect when Colin Kaepernick takes a knee, we want to give respect to people whose ideas are different from ours.&#8221;

She claimed that Butker was practicing something &#8220;divergent&#8221; from mainstream Catholicism that was &#8220;cult-like&#8221; and &#8220;extremist,&#8221; comparing his belief system to &#8220;some religions in the Middle East.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a very extreme religion,&#8221; Haines continued. &#8220;And what bothers me about that as a Christian is that when people abuse Christianity they often not only cherry pick from the Bible, they misinterpret and lie by omission.&#8221;
She went on to say that Butker was &#8220;not walking with Jesus.&#8221;
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin followed Haines up by complaining about the fact that he mentioned DEI at all — noting that it was not in the Bible — and suggesting that if he was going to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/devout-catholic-president-makes-sign-of-the-cross-at-pro-abortion-rally" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical of Biden</a>, he should have also mentioned former President Donald Trump.

The cohosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; attempted to handicap the upcoming debates between incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden and his rival, former President Donald Trump — and managed to miss the mark on most of their analyses.
The cohosts spent a segment of Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast reacting to the news that Biden — in a 14-second video that required five jump cuts and the phrase &#8220;make my day&#8221; — had challenged Trump to debate him ahead of the 2024 presidential election in November.
Whoopi Goldberg began with an explanation of a few of the demands Biden had made — from friendly outlets and moderators to a mandatory mic cut-off once time expired — and said she appreciated the changes because she thought new rules would keep Trump in line.
She then claimed that the moderators had &#8220;allowed&#8221; Trump to walk around behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a debate &#8220;and stalk her&#8221; instead of telling him that he had to remain behind the podium. What she left out was the fact that, during the debate in question, there was no podium and both candidates were free to walk around because it was intended to be a town hall.

Sunny Hostin went on to suggest that Biden had &#8220;the edge&#8221; when it came to debates because he could use the multiple charges against Trump as attack points — but she left out the fact that polling has suggested a <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3874" target="_blank" rel="noopener">majority of Americans</a> believe at least some of the charges against the former president are politically motivated.

'The View' Handicaps Trump-Biden Debates, Gets Nearly Every Possible Thing Wrong

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; devolved into chaos around the table over the anti-Israel &#8220;un-committed&#8221; protest votes cast in Michigan&#8217;s Democratic primary election on Tuesday.
The hosts were responding to the fact that just over 13% of Michigan Democrats — encouraged by anti-Israel elected officials like Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — chose to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretchen-whitmer-michigan-democrats-who-dont-vote-biden-are-helping-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leave their vote uncommitted</a> rather than back President Joe Biden over his support for Israel in the war against the terror group Hamas.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the discussion by saying that Democrats certainly had the right to vote for another candidate, but she argued that those who chose to leave their vote &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; were somehow trampling on the voting rights of others.

Joy Behar parrots and gives credence to an INSANE conspiracy theory from Democratic Congresswoman Debbie &quot;Dingbat&quot; Dingell (MI) who claimed that Trump would have &quot;nuked Gaza&quot; if he was president. &quot;It&#39;s not that farfetched because he&#39;s crazy,&quot; she declared, without evidence. <a href="https://t.co/bz6F5aZaPw">pic.twitter.com/bz6F5aZaPw</a>

Joy Behar agreed and then referenced a comment from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) — who claimed that if former President Donald Trump were still in office, he might have &#8220;nuked Gaza.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s not that farfetched because he&#8217;s crazy,&#8221; Behar insisted.
Co-host Sunny Hostin defended the anti-Israel protest vote, saying they were using their votes to make a point and should be allowed to do that. &#8220;They&#8217;re not sitting on the couch,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These are protest votes.&#8221;
Goldberg pushed back, claiming that by not supporting Biden they were effectively &#8220;sitting&#8221; on their couches.

&quot;He got the message!&quot; Sara Haines exclaims, suggesting that now&#39;s the time to rally behind Biden.

Co-host Sara Haines weighed in then, saying that she felt like the Biden administration had probably gotten the message that Michigan voters were trying to send. She went on to say that by supporting Israel even when it wasn&#8217;t popular with everyone in his own party, Biden was effectively saying, &#8220;I know what&#8217;s right here and I&#8217;m going to stand true to that even in an election year.&#8221;
Hostin pushed back again, saying that Biden risked losing the anti-Israel vote in Michigan if he did not dial back his administration&#8217;s support for Israel in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks.

Hostin decries her fellow cast members bringing up THE FACT that UNRWA had a hand in the October 7 terrorist attack. &quot;So now the U.S. is under attack?!&quot; she whined.

Hostin went on to predict a change in policy from the White House, noting that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has indicated a push for a ceasefire as early as next week. She went on to complain that the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations had been the deciding vote — a veto — on a resolution demanding a ceasefire.
Haines pushed back, noting that the United Nations itself was under scrutiny because members of the UN&#8217;s Palestinian aid organization UNRWA had participated in the October 7 attacks.

&#8220;Now the UN is under attack?&#8221; Hostin asked, rolling her eyes.
&#8220;The UN has a long history of having more resolutions against Israel than North Korea and Iran and some of the worst human rights abusers on the planet,&#8221; co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out. &#8220;Her point, the ambassador&#8217;s point is, &#8216;I&#8217;m not voting for a ceasefire until the hostages are released.'&#8221;
