"The View's" hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar joined the chorus of liberal pundits and Democratic politicians by blaming President Trump for the Iranian military shooting down the Ukrainian airplane.
The airplane flew out of Tehran's international airport the night their military fired dozens of ballistic missiles at bases in Iraq that house American troops. The attack was in response to the U.S. military killing Iranian general and terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani. The Pentagon said the strike was necessary because Soleimani was planning on carrying out more attacks against Americans in the region.
Host Sunny Hostin asked Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) if he was briefed on any specific attacks when the military presented their intelligence reports last week.
"No, I didn’t hear reporting that four embassies were targeted and 'here’s what we think and when we think it’s going to happen.' It really was much more like something the Secretary said and then tried to walk back. Secretary Pompeo acknowledged the other day we didn’t know precisely where, we didn’t know precisely when," Schiff said. "That directly of course contradicts the idea that the president is putting out there that we knew four specific embassies were targeted.
Schiff said he did not see any intelligence reports that justified the strike, especially since Iran targeted Americans in the aftermath.
"But the risk I think to our personnel has gone up, not down, and I don’t think it was justified by the intelligence, at least not the intelligence that I’ve seen," he added.
"That Ukrainian plane would still be alive," Goldberg said.
"The people on that plane would still be alive today," Behar said in agreement.
Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar Blame Trump for Iran Shooting Down Ukrainian Airplane
Keep yapping, you silly bunts.
Thanks.
Please use where and when appropriate to hammer the elite lying liberals and their mediots.
These imbeciles would blame Trump for putting hundreds of researchers out of work if he were to discover a cure for cancer.
Why is this "garbage" reported? Everyone knows that the View spews forth hate based on unsupported assertions, bad assumptions, and bad data. They are wrong 100% of the time. Their audience is composed of people who hate Trump. Is that not boring?
By the way, their audience is shrinking.
I blame Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar for sunspots, and navel lint.
Did the audience applaud or should I ask?
Not even the Iranians are blaming Trump for shooting down the Ukranian plane!
Super Orangeman. He can make the Iranians shoot missiles at their own people. Next he will tell Iranian storm troopers to fire upon Iranians. Super Orangeman.
You can’t blame Joy and Whoopi. They get their DNC talking points and read they as written. No thought whatsoever goes into their comments. In fact I would be surprise if after five minutes they made these comments if they remember them.
They are both entertainers. They live in a fantasy world.
Why would anyone care what these people think?
These people are the worst of the worst.
I blame Whoopi Goldberg for my diaharrea this morning.
Being obese, ugly, ignorant, hate-filled and being unable to think clearly is no way to go through life. What pathetic seditious losers. Those who listen to them or watch them are worse than they are.
Trump should have known that the Iranian terrorists would kill anything and anybody in sight or within the general area after we killed their chief terrorist who was a military enemy combatant that entered the Iraq war zone where US military were authorized to kill the enemy. Also the “protesters” setting fire and overrunning our embassy left scrawled on the walls of the embassy that the man our military killed was their leader, before we killed him. So the “protesters” actually Iranian backed and lead militia pointed the finger at the General.
But oh, my, when the Iranians responded they warned us ahead of time via the Iraq government, and they made sure missiles fell short of targets and some didn't have warheads. Yes, Yes, such blood thirsty terrorist war mongers they are Whoopi.
Maybe after pulling their punches like that, they just messed up and shot down the civilian airliner by accident.
In related news: The sun rose in the East today.
They probably blamed Reagan for the Soviets destroying KAL007.
These are two unAmerican women. They choose America’s enemies against the American public. They are two slobs, that’s all they are.
The Iran government must have known in advance of shooting down the plane that Goldberg and Behar would defend them.
