In his first broadcast since Donald Trump won a landslide victory over Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and took back the White House overnight, “The View” co-hosts (some of whom looked like they were attending a funeral) (Some of them were wearing black clothes, such as) said, as expected. On Wednesday morning, he complained about Trump's victory.
Whoopi Goldberg acknowledged at one point that Trump is “now president,” but added: caveat: “I won't say his name yet.”
“I am very upset that the 14th Amendment did not prevent a person who participated in the insurrection from becoming President of the United States.”
Ana Navarro I lamented The United States was unable to elect its first black and Asian female president. History has slipped through our fingers once again. I tried very hard to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president. But today, unlike Donald Trump and his followers, I acknowledge that he won. ”
sunny hostin said“I'm 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 we knew what we were going to get from the Trump administration in 2016, but now we know he has almost unlimited power. So I'm not worried. Actually, I'm not worried. I worry about the working class. I'm worried about my mother, a retired teacher. I worry about our seniors and their Social Security and Medicare. I am especially worried about my daughter's future as her income has decreased. More rights than I have. ”
Hostin continued, “I am very upset that the 14th Amendment did not prevent a person who participated in the insurrection from becoming President of the United States.” I think it would be better to remove it,” he added. Because if you can be president of the United States, you shouldn't be prevented from getting a job in this country. ”
Ms. Hostin also wringed her hands about the health care system, which is “currently in crisis,” but then she appeared to look down and read the screen, and economists said President Trump was “in crisis.” “We are on the brink of a crisis,” he said. [national] He also cited concerns about “mass deportations and concentration camps.”
“I'm surprised, but not surprised by this outcome. As a woman of color, I was very excited to see a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish man elected president of this country.” ” Hostin concluded. “And I don't think it had anything to do with policy. I think it was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country.”
Even Sarah Haines and die-hard Trump hater Joy Behar had more measured responses.
Alyssa Farrah Griffin has been touted for a while as the only Republican in the room — she said she didn't vote for Trump — and seemed to be the most understanding of them all. .
“We need to tone down the heat, the name calling, the demonization,” she said, adding, “Now is the time to listen to voters. … I didn't expect that.” [Trump’s win] I think there are several lessons to be learned from this response. …I think we've forgotten about rural America. I think the working class feels left behind. They are the ones in power and it feels like the elite only cares about themselves and their power. and [Trump] spoke to them. We may not have liked what he said, but it was beneficial to him. ”
