Speaking during a tedious and tiresome rant on ABC’s “The View,” one of the woker show co-hosts, Joy Behar, demanded that her fellow Democrats start trying to take down President Donald Trump by “ambushing” him. She said that they could do so by calling into shows such as “The View” to speak out against the president.
Namely, Behar said that, much as Trump used to appear on and call into shows constantly to get his name and face out in front of people, Democrats should do the same thing to tear him down. Further, she added, Democrats need a leader like Trump who is provocative enough to remain at the top of the news cycle and gain traction with American voters.
She said, first arguing that Democrats should be calling into shows and “ambushing” Trump on the airwaves, “Remember when Trump used to call in constantly, he was on this show, Barbara [Walters] interviewed him, and he called in on ‘Morning Joe.’ That is what they should be doing. Every time, they should be ambushing the airwaves, the Democrats, get off your butts and start doing it.”
Continuing, Behar declared that the Democrats need someone who is able to speak to the average person as well as Trump does, saying, “It seems to me that you need a candidate that’s like Trump on the left. Somebody who speaks the vernacular. He comes out there and might as well say I got a hemorrhoid today, and they like it. Because it’s real. They need something like that.”
Chiming in, Whoopi Goldberg claimed that the media hasn’t been covering the Democrats who are angrily ranting about Trump, such as AOC and Chuck Schumer. She said, “Not to media bash, but, you know, people keep saying, well, why aren’t we hearing from people? It’s not that we’re not hearing from Democrats.”
Building on that, Whoopi insisted that those Democrats who are speaking out aren’t getting the proper amount of coverage from the media, saying, “They’re out there. Jasmine Crockett is out there, AOC is out there, people are out, Chuck Schumer. We see Chuck Schumer. You’re not getting the coverage because to them, they’re boring.”
She then declared, “People are doing what they can do. They have a very slim minority, and they’re doing what they can and they’re as vocal as they can be, but if you’re not getting the information, and you’re not getting it the way you used to get all kinds of information, it’s hard to back through.”

Chiming back in, Joy Behar told her fellow co-hosts that both former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) are great public messengers for the Democratic Party, though the many Americans who mock both of them wouldn’t agree with that assessment.
Whoopi, chiming back in, told Behar, “I’m telling you, they’re out there doing it,” meaning getting out in front of the media like Trump does, though she didn’t add that they’re doing a far worse job of it than Trump. Behar, in any case, then demanded that Democrats call into “The View” to speak. Watch her here:
