The cohosts of ABC’s far-left “The View” again attempted to talk about the 2024 election, again doing so in predictably ridiculous terms. This time, they tried handicapping how the upcoming debates between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will go and, as could be expected, were far from the mark in some of their claims.
As background, President Joe Biden challenged Trump to debates in a 14-second video that included 5 jump cuts which the president posted to X. Trump accepted the challenge, writing in a post on Truth Social, “It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!”
He also said, “Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced – He can’t put two sentences together! Crooked is also the WORST President in the history of the United States, by far. It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to “Catch on Fire.” I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds – That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. ‘Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!'”
In any case, the cohosts of “The View” spoke about the debate challenge and plans during their Wednesday, May 15 broadcast and made some ridiculous comments. One, for example, was when they praised CNN for going along with Biden’s demands for a debate, demands that included there not being an audience there and for cutting off microphones when time expires.
Further, far-left Whoopi Goldberg was far off the marks with her claims about how a 2016 incident with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump went. That event, a town hall, included an odd camera angle that placed Trump behind Clinton, though he didn’t walk behind her; it was just the camera angle making it look like he was.
Whoopi, however, claimed that Trump left his podium to “stalk” Clinton as she spoke. That was wrong on multiple counts, as there were no podiums, it was a town hall rather than a debate, and Trump did not stalk her or walk behind her, the camera angle simply made it look like he was standing behind her. Watch that nonsense from Whoopi here:
She wasn’t the only one, however. Joining in the nonsense, Alyssa Farah Griffin said it was “smart of Biden to get ahead of this by challenging Trump,” something that was patently untrue, as Trump challenged Biden to debate weeks beforehand, shortly after he became the presumptive GOP nominee. So, Biden got ahead of nothing, some just have short memories.
Similarly, far-left Sunny Hostin joined in the ridiculousness by claiming that Biden “clearly has the edge” in the debates. As evidence for that astounding claim, she noted that Biden could point to the charges brought against Trump.
Watch them here:
Sunny Hostin declares that debates don't matter but "Biden clearly has the edge" because he can harp on the charges brought against Trump by Democratic DAs and his DOJ. pic.twitter.com/VBLAetdez5
