ABC's “The View” has struggled to address President-elect Trump's victory in the days following the election.
At least four of the co-hosts appeared on Wednesday's show wearing black, as if attending a funeral. And after some expressed respect for the democratic process, it didn't take long for anger to be unleashed.
Co-host Sunny Hostin said she was “very upset”. “If you look at the New York Times this morning, I think the headline was “America Makes Dangerous Choices.'' I don't think you knew what you were going to get from the Trump administration in 2016, but now he It turns out that he has almost unlimited power.

“I am deeply disturbed that the 14th Amendment did not prevent a person who participated in the insurrection from becoming President of the United States,” Hostin later continued. “I'm surprised by this result, but as a woman of color, I'm not surprised. I was hoping that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish man would be elected president of this country, but what's the point?” I don't think it would have stood the test of time.''This was about policy, and I think it was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country. ”
Hostin said she was also concerned about “mass deportations and concentration camps.”

“I'm not going to say his name yet,” Whoopi Goldberg maintained her vow not to say Trump's name on her show.

Joy Behar on Thursday complained that not only did Trump win the White House, but Republicans retained the House and are poised to control the Senate, and conservatives maintain a majority on the Supreme Court. said.
“It's pathetic,” said the downtrodden Behar. “There are no checks and balances. A perfectly intelligent and qualified woman lost to a man who was faking sex with a microphone. I mean, America.”

Hostin clashed with co-host Alyssa Farrar Griffin, arguing that Democrats had “misjudged the timing” and misjudged what voters wanted.
“Do you think the Republican Party missed this moment? What's the post-mortem on the Republican Party right now, the Trump party?” Hostin asked.
“But they just wiped out,” Griffin replied.
“They won, but they're morally bankrupt,” Hostin retorted.

After Griffin highlighted Trump's landslide victory in Texas, a state that is 97% Latino, Hostin blamed “misogyny” and “sexism” rather than the border crisis.

Goldberg appears to be parroting Vice President Kamala Harris' suggestion that rising prices are due to price gouging from grocery stores, not inflation fueled by Biden-Harris policies.
“Your wallet isn't bad because the Bidens did anything. It's not because the economy is bad. Your grocery bill is what it is because the people who own your groceries are pigs. '' Goldberg argued.
those comments reportedly sparked outrage Among the grocery stores.
Things got even worse on Friday when Hostin started saying bad things about the country.
“I actually think the more relevant question is, what's wrong with America?” Hostin said. “What is wrong with this country that the Republican Party chooses and endorses an insurrectionist, an election denier, a twice-impeached man, a 34-time convicted felon, a man accused of a crime? I think it's bad. 26 women accused of sexual misconduct accused of sexual abuse What's wrong with this country is more divisiveness, xenophobia, and racism than a message of inclusion. , choose misogynistic messages.”

Sarah Haines agreed, saying there was a “condescending” tone from Democrats that ultimately alienated voters.
“A message of joy and inclusion?” Hostin sniped at Haines.
“No,” Haynes answered. “It’s a message of what’s wrong with America: uneducated, stupid.”
“The bigger question is, yeah, Sonny, why did they vote for him,” Ms. Haines told her acerbic co-host.
“Yes, that's it. [Republicans] You need to do some self-reflection,” Hostin responded.
“No! You need to introspect!” Haynes yelled back. “If we voted for Kamala Harris, we have to say what didn't resonate with voters. You know what didn't resonate with voters? When we said we don't feel safe and the left is focused on budget cuts, police and bail reform.”
“What I'm saying is, they screamed and screamed and screamed. They didn't vote because he was a racist or a misogynist. They voted because they needed help with their daily lives. I voted,” Haines later added.

Kamala Harris' incorrect answer on 'opinion' about Biden seen as turning point in election campaign
Behar jokingly suggested that those who voted for President Trump would admit in the exit polls that they were “racists” and “misogynists.”
“Do you really think 74 million people are racist?!” Griffin fired back.
Ana Navarro seems ashamed that women and minority voters support Trump.
“Black people voted for people they knew were racist,” Navarro said. “Latinos voted for people they knew were going to deport their abuelas. Puerto Ricans voted for people they knew were going to treat them like trash…white people. Women voted for people they knew took away their reproductive rights. So all of this is difficult for people like me to understand. ”
The excessive hostility from Hostin, in particular, may stem from the resulting exchange he had with Vice President Kamala Harris during an appearance on “The View” last month.
Kamala Harris admits there is “nothing” she would do differently than Biden on “The View.”
Hostin asked the Democratic nominee a softball question: “Have you done anything different than President Biden over the past four years?”
“I can't think of anything in particular. I've participated in most of the decisions that have affected me,” Harris said.
The reaction quickly exploded on social media and was picked up by the Trump campaign, reinforcing the argument that Harris is not a transformational candidate and would only continue President Biden's policies. The Hostin-Harris exchange was featured in countless political ads and likely swayed thousands of undecided voters across the country.
