The typically outspoken hosts of The View couldnt bring themselves to condemn Democrat minority leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, after he publicly threatened two Supreme Court justices during a pro-abortion rally, Wednesday. In fact, the only real opinion that was shared was defending Schumers shocking words. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg set the dismissive tone from the start, claiming the backlash to Schumers words was a distraction: So, is this all a distraction from the fact that a major abortion rights case is being heard right now? she asked.
Former 2020 Democrat candidate Andrew Yang was a guest co-host and the first to respond. His tepid criticism was harsher than what the hosts offered:
"I'm a champion of women's reproductive rights as fundamental human rights but I don't think it's productive for a senator to publicly rebuke Supreme Court justices before a ruling. I mean, we have Constitutional separation of powers for a reason and the fact is if this had happened in reverse, then I'm sure Chuck and many other Democrats would be very, very upset about it," Yang stated, before the liberal hosts corrected him for forgetting the left's talking points.
Whoopi and Joy Behar insisted that Trump threatens Supreme Court justices with violence, all the time:
WHOOPI: Well, we were.
BEHAR: It has happened.
YANG: It has happened in reverse, exactly.
BEHAR: Trump does that all the time.
YANG: It was terrible then, it's not great if Democrats do it either.
Later on, Yang called the threat, inappropriate. Whoopi said Schumers verbiage was not the best. But Whoopi and Joy couldn't muster up any real disapproval for what Schumer said. Eventually, Behar came out defending him:
He did make the point though and everybody should know that if abortion rights are repealed, a lot of people will lose their seat, and he was warning them about that, Behar touted. She added that this backlash was a good thing because it reminded Democrats that Republicans were taking away their abortion rights:
The good thing about this whole conversation is that it's reminding people, voters, that you're not just voting for a president. You're voting for the Supreme Court. You're voting for rights taken away from you. You have to keep that in mind. So in a way, it reminds people of that.
The hosts also saved time to fawn over Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Right after Yang started railing against lifetime appointments on the Supreme Court, he joked that they needed to follow Ginsburg around to protect her from illness:
"We created lifetime appointments in the constitution when people didn't live as long. People used to step down for any of a variety of reasons. They didnt just till they were at deaths door. They used to retire. But now it's entirely rational for us to follow Ruth Bader Ginsburg around scrubbing every door that she touches," he said.
As the hosts discussed her health, Joy Behar gushed, I'm not religious but I'm praying for Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
what a despicable person
Boy they really shoveled a good few loads of it in that instance. Especially when you consider what rights Chuckie likes to take away from people (namely Second Amendment ones).
What a hive of scum and villainy.
All over the world, mothers get their children to do their chores by threatening to have the giant-headed Joy Behar swoop down out of the sky to eat them if they dont do their chores.
No mommy, no! Dont let the giant-headed Joy Behar eat me! I will water the rocks!
Behar...What about the rights of the unborn child????
“Whoopi and Joy Behar insisted that Trump threatens Supreme Court justices with violence, ‘all the time’”
My experience debating with Leftists, when they know they’ve lost the argument, they always end with “everybody does it”. What they mean is that their champions get a pass on every illegality and immorality, because they’re always accusing conservatives of doing the same thing, and if conservatives are accused of anything, that makes it true.
Just like he does with actual Amendments, right, dumb broad?
Behar is a piece of crap and her opinion doesn’t count.
Apparently, Joy-less is still harboring resentment that the Republicans retained control of the Senate after the ‘18 midterms because of gerrymandering.
Who is Behar?
No he wasn’t you stupid bitch, he threatened 2 SCOTUS judges with harm.
Joy Behar is the most ignorant female on this planet..........
Behar just gave away her intellectual bankruptcy. She has no intellect.
Sorry sweet cakes, but your prayers arent getting past the ceiling...
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Behar and post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Schumer are unsurprisingly not willing to accept that politically correct, vote-winning reproductive rights scandalously legislated from the bench by tyrant justices nominated by Democratic presidents can be taken away by honest, common sense justices.
Remember in November!
MAGA, now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
A wretched hive of scum and villainy.
