Most of the ladies on The View dressed in black today because former President Donald Trump destroyed VP Kamala Harris last night.
They cried. They blamed racism and sexism. They gushed over Harris.
Whoopi Goldberg cried. Joy Behar had a slightly steadier take:
Whoopi Goldberg: “So, how do you feel?”Joy Behar: “I’ll start… This is what people wanted. I vehemently disagree with the decision that Americans made… We should protest if the situation arises that we need to protest, which I’m sure it will. And I’ve been through this before with Nixon. It’s been very difficult, but boy, oh boy, do we have a country if we can keep it.”
Sunny Hostin blamed it on “cultural resentment.” I love that she now cares about the debt, unlike me, who is always concerned about the debt, and the main reason why I’m not a Republican is because, like the Democrats, they only truly care about it when they’re the minority.
Anyway!
Give me a break, though. These people don’t have to worry about grocery prices going up every week. They don’t have to worry about any prices going up.
It must be nice. I wish I had so few worries so I could make identity politics a priority (that was sarcasm because I’d never do that):
HOSTIN: “Economists have made clear that he’s going to increase the debt by $7.75 trillion. I’m worried about mass deportation and internment camps. And I’m also worried about Elon Musk warning Americans to prepare for temporary hardship. I’m surprised at the results, but I’m not surprised. As a woman of color, I was so hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country.”BEHAR: “Mm-hmm.”HOSTIN: “And I think that it had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”
However, Alyssa Farah Griffin had a few good takes. Yes, the Democrats learned nothing from 2016.
The Democrats once again forgot the ordinary people:
“I think we forget about rural America. I think the working class feels left behind. They feel like the powerful, the elite, only care about themselves and their power.”“And he [Trump] spoke to them. We may not have liked his words, but they turned out for him. I mean, the map was beyond Reagan what we saw last night. And I think we need to start listening more to the concerns of everyday Americans who feel like this system is failing.”
Griffin also shot down Sunny Hostin’s demeaning remark about white women:
SUNNY HOSTIN: “So why do you think that uneducated white women voted against their reproductive health freedoms? And why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone that’s going to deport, says he’s going to deport, the majority of his community?”ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: “I don’t think women like being called uneducated white women. I think the economy matters, national security matters, but when you put people in these boxes, I think that’s a takeaway from this phrase.”
Joy Behar cannot believe all women aren’t obsessed with the ability to have abortions.
It boggles her mind that A) Women have other pressing matters, and B) Women are against murdering unborn human beings. God forbid:
BEHAR: “So, you know, women’s health care and abortion is specifically, specifically was — was on the, definitely one of the, one of the cries from the Democratic Party. They were really banking on it, I think. And only 14 percent of Americans voted for that particular thing.”
