On their roundtable show Thursday, the hosts of The View explained their befuddlement with voters being alarmed and motivated by persistently high inflation and crime.
“GOP candidates’ big messages are blaming Biden for inflation and that Democrats are soft on crime. I mean, who knows what’s resonating now, I’m so confused by everything I’m seeing,” Whoopi Goldberg said as she threw up her hands.
“You would think, there used to be a way to stamp out the lie, but I guess lie’s the new it,” she added.
While Biden alone is not responsible for inflation, he oversaw the spending of trillions of dollars on federal Covid-19 relief and infrastructure that likely exacerbated inflation.
Goldberg also failed to mention why Democratic officials, specifically progressive bail reform-pushing prosecutors in cities experiencing record assaults, break-ins, and lawlessness, should be immune from criticism.
In 2020, around the time the pandemic erupted, murder soared nearly 30 percent to a two-decade high, according to FBI statistics. Violent crime, including offenses such as rape and assault, increased 5.2 percent then too. In 2022, murders and gun assaults dropped 2 percent and 6 percent respectively, according to the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice think tank. However, property crimes, robberies, auto thefts, and residential burglaries are all up nationwide, 19 percent, 15 percent, and 6 percent respectively.
In reference to President Biden’s latest statements, Joy Behar said he’s been trying to appeal to the “intelligence” of the American voter in acknowledging inflation but reminding that there are causes beyond his control. She deflected to the example of Hungary, which she called a “dictatorship” with “20 percent inflation,” which she claimed some conservatives want to emulate.

They’re in NYC and don’t realize a world exists outside of the boroughs.
Anybody who has to work with Sunny Hostin who has her head stuck up her ying yang all the time has a right to be confused.
Whoopi and the rest of the Spew wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on their fat butts.
The party that called for defunding the police is confused that people don’t trust them on crime.
Ok.
I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they know the truth. Doesn’t stop them from telling lies.

“You would think, there used to be a way to stamp out the lie, but I guess lie’s the new it,” she added.
Not exactly sure what she’s trying to say. But, as far as “stamping out the lie”, that is what political campaigns should do.
If these liberals are so fixated on Republican “lies”, then it’s up to them to tell us what the “truth” is. The different parties have different goals and visions for America. So tell us about it, Whoopi and Joy. You can’t just say Republicans are full of it. Tell us what they are lying about.
Whoopi: “I’m so confused by crime and inflation! There’s zero crime at my gated and guarded estate and my accountants haven’t mentioned anything about inflation impacting my fortune. I don’t know what people are talking about!”
When you make so much $$$$$ & others do all your shopping/cooking for you, then I guess it can be VERY difficult to see the inflation first hand.
aka. The "coastal elites" with their amoral, indulgent, repugnant, and parochial sanctimony. 🤦♂️😒🙁🙄
Wasn’t there something else going on in 2020 that contributed a lot more to violence? Arbitrary lockdowns that were arbitrarily lifted in certain circumstances for certain events?
A 32oz bottle of isopropyl alcohol is now over $5 at Walmart. It was around a $1.50 a couple years ago.
These are the people who casually go out for dinner and drop a thousand dollars for a meal.
They're horrible people - totally lacking in empathy for anyone beyond designated democrat 'victim groups'... Who cares what they think?
I have done accounting for over 65 years-—and I can easily see the inflation.
BUT—I DO all my ranch chores- I take care of my horse & dog—I get the mail each day—I find the new package of TP when I need one.
I DO NOT DRINK MY WAY FROM SUNRISE TO SUNRISE EVERY DAY
During all the supply chain crap, it was UNAVAILABLE at any price.
I have to agree with you. Some things are just so glaringly obvious that you can't deny the truth about it. They just love their lies more and so have to feign ignorance.
Big surprise! They have NO commonsense.
