he View, the show started off with a fiery exchange over the U.S. missile strike in Syria last night. The panel was strictly divided, with conservative hosts Paula Faris and Jedediah Bila fiercely disagreeing with liberal hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin that the missile strike was unconstitutional.
Bila began by saying she was “proud” of President Trump for taking action when President Obama did not. Joy Behar took issue with this, saying that Obama tried to take action but couldn’t get congressional approval. Bila shot back quickly, when you’re president, “the buck stops with you.”
Sunny Hostin jumped in to back up Behar. “You’re not supposed to be able to do it without Congress,” she argued.
An exasperated Behar then made this absurd claim: "If he had not gone to Congress, President Obama, they would’ve impeached him!"
As you may remember, Behar called on President Trump to be impeached earlier this week.
But Bila disagreed.
“That’s not true! It’s not unconstitutional to do that!” she stated.
After some back-and-forth bickering, Hostin asked for the group’s attention as she cited the War Powers Act of 1973, as her reason for why Trump allegedly didn’t have the authority to launch a missile strike without Congress’ approval.
“It made it very clear that a President couldn’t unilaterally act like this without Congress,” Hostin claimed again.
Following this, Paula Faris defended the missile strike in an emotional argument with Hostin that anyone with any ounce of “humanity” couldn’t have let Assad get away with the chemical attack.
After things cooled down slightly, host Sara Haines stated that she thought it was a “bold move” for Trump to make this decision while meeting with China’s president.
“He wants to show might,” Haines added. Hostin then broke in with this shocking accusation:
I think it showed a dictator. I think it showed someone that was willing to unilaterally act without Congress. We’ve got to be very careful about that because what is his plan?
‘Dictator!': The View Goes Nuts Over Trump’s Strike on Syria
After some more of the same tense back-and-forth bickering, Behar abruptly ended the segment, saying she wanted to “move on” because she had “had enough of this.”
Somebody forgot what Obama did in Libya, which was far more prolonged and extensive without Congressional approval.
Well it is ‘the view’ to what I have no idea and I don’t think they do either...
Screw the View......well maybe NOT!! Waste of energy.
The IQ in that room could not fill a thimble.
They’re kidding, right? All the drone strikes and other ill conceived ventures of Obama’s and nothing. Clinton lobs cruise missiles into Kosovo to detract from the Lewinski thing and nothing. How can they call foul?
8 years of non-stop bombing and drone strikes; and they said nothing.
Behar....We don’t care about killing babies. We don’t care if they smother to death...have their bodies ripped from the womb....
No Mr. Lefty, Congress Did Not Keep Obama From Attacking Syria (RedState April 7, 201)7
Who cares about all this?
I read she complained about not being able to wear pants on FOX?
Like anyone would have watched Outnumbered if they all had pants on.
I watched it with the sound off.
bttt!
I guess they don’t know that Obama dropped thousands of bombs on Syria.
Like listening to a bunch of catty housewives sitting under hair dryers.
There are any number of reasons Barry should’ve been impeached.
Obama would’ve been impeached? Like when he “led from behind” in the dismemberment of Libya and the violent overthrow of its leadership?
They are just so darned cute when they come unglued!
Oh, and see tag line.
“Without Congressional permission, public debate, or any attempt to rally the American public’s support, President Obama has ordered U.S. ground troops to a war zone, his most flagrantly unconstitutional war-making .....”
These post-menopausal matrons gave bammy a free pass and now they’re dumping on Trump.
Screw the View......well maybe NOT!!
Obama attacked Libya, and stayed long enough to make it a crime. He was also always drone striking random people in random countries. Obama could have done literally anything without any talk of impeachment.
