The hosts of The View attempted to reverse the recent coverage of senatorial candidate John Fetterman (D-PA) on Thursday's episode.

Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin turned their attention to NBC’s Dasha Burns, who interviewed Fetterman and claimed it was difficult for him to understand small talk. Burns was the first to interview Fetterman in-person on television. Hostin claimed it was “inappropriate” for Burns to comment on his competence at all.

“Maybe she’s bad at small talk," Goldberg said. "Maybe it was her."

Goldberg was inadvertently paraphrasing the same argument made by Kara Swisher of the New York Times. Swisher similarly decided that Burns is “just bad at small talk” and that her reporting is “nonsense.”

“Maybe it’s her,” Hostin said in return. The former lawyer went on to defend Fetterman, who required a transcription device during his interview with Burns.

"I don’t know about everybody else, but I love closed captions. I watch all my series [with] closed captions because I can’t sometimes understand the accents that people are using. And I don’t understand things," Hostin said. "And it’s very helpful in terms of processing. And I don’t have a cognitive disorder."

Fetterman’s campaign allegedly said that he needs questions written down for him.

Tell me, how can he be a sitting Senator if he can’t understand the freaking FLOOR DEBATES????

It's simple enough. Have Festerman on 'The View'. Let Whoopi Goldberg ask him the regular stupid questions and watch him go.

"Argle, bargle, rargle, rahrrrr!"
