Joy Behar told her co-host Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that people who wear MAGA hats should “put a swastika” on it while discussing a since-removed video re-posted to Donald Trump’s Truth Social account that briefly showed an image calling for a “unified Reich.” Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “I think that it’s so dangerous that he is willing to shout out the quiet part.

Speculation is growing about the role former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will play in the 2024 election as President Biden and former President Trump barrel toward a rematch.

At the same time, she has said she won’t be a spoiler third-party candidate if it helps Trump — leaving some Democrats curious,...

Nikki Haley (R-SC) stays in the race, the “more demented” former President Donald Trump looks.

She needs to stay there so that he can talk about — just to annoy him, you know? I mean, he has had so many gaffes....

You know what’s upsetting you, and you will discuss it when you go and make...

The Wednesday edition of ABC’s The View kicked off with a discussion of a recent federal court ruling that left a Texas pro-life law intact which did set well with the assembled quintet as the fearmongering went from accusations that women will die, that doctors will have to violate the Hippocratic Oath, that women will not be able to get treatment for ectopic pregnancies, to pro-lifers being upset that women are having sex outside of marriage. Whoopi Goldberg began, “So, yesterday a federal court ruled the Biden Administration cannot use a 1986 emergency care law that would require Texas hospitals...
