The cohosts of The View are NOT happy with what Sanders said about Cuba.

[highplainsdem]

Whoopi just compared what Sanders said about Castro to what Trump said about there being "fine people on both sides."

Three of the four cohosts of The View are liberal. They've given a platform to all the Democratic candidates. A sympathetic platform.

Ana Navarro isn't there today as a guest cohost, or the studio would probably be in flames by now.

1. What do they have against literacy? N/t

[dubyadiprecession]

2. Saying nice things about dictators is a zero plus gain...

For trumps bunch, it’s an entirely different story

[berni_mccoy]

4. So you ignore all the nice things Obama said about Castro?

Or the nice things Trump has said about world dictators?

[dubyadiprecession]

10. Sanders is on the hot seat at the moment.

I mentioned nothing of the others except trump. Should I apologize to you about mentioning trump???

[berni_mccoy]

12. Obama was also on the hot seat when he made similar comments.

It means your point is baseless.

[Moderateguy]

14. What hot seat was Obama on?

He was a President who made those comments to President Castro's face in Cuba. I know Bernie acts that way but you do not build diplomatic relationships by lecturing people-you have to use a soft approach

[PatSeg]

27. Whenever Sanders is criticized,

we are inclined to see some deflection or the good old what-about-ism.

Meanwhile, Sanders is on the hot seat for good reasons. 1) He is the apparent front-runner and 2) He was never thoroughly vetted in 2016. It appears he is getting vetted now!

[HarlanPepper]

22. Obama isn't running and the context was markedly different.

Hey, there you are passionately defending Bernie again.

[berni_mccoy]

3. Noise in a bubble is meaningless

[highplainsdem]

5. Their "bubble" includes millions of viewers. Which is why candidates like to go on the show.

[PatSeg]

7. I don't care for the show

but lots of people watch it regularly. I agree, it is not a bubble and their audience is not insignificant.

[berni_mccoy]

8. And most of their viewership will never vote for Trump

[HarlanPepper]

20. Irony is dead.

6. If you want to see the hosts of The View unhappy just say Bernie's name

That's all it takes. One word. Bernie!

[George II]

9. Not true whatsoever. Joy Behar was a big Sanders fan for years. She even named her dog Bernie!

But now she's seeing what he really is and she's not happy about that. Same thing for Whoopi, she admired him in the past, but like Joy she's now seeing who he is and doesn't like it.

[Autumn]

15. Paying taxes irritates Whoopie too. Joy explained yesterday she was mocking him, just having fun

when she supported him and named her dog after him.

[George II]

16. Ah, so you saw some real facts so you drift off onto something else, Autumn?

[Autumn]

18. Drift off? No just correcting your's and Megan's assumption that Behar was all in on Bernie George

with the facts. She was simply having fun. You can take her serious if you feel the need to do so. I'll pass.

Behar, whom earlier this month Meghan McCain accused of "shilling" for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, downplayed any support for Sanders and agreed with co-host Whoopi Goldberg that there was still a lot of time in the race for things to change.

“You love him. You named your dog after him,” Megan McCain told Behar when she denied that Sanders was the future of the party.

Behar responded, “First of all, I was never all-in on Bernie. ... I named my dog after him — it was a joke, okay? I also said I was aroused by him, which was really a joke. But I think that at that time, I thought Hillary was a shoo-in, so I was having fun with Bernie. Now, I’m not so sure.”

there's a video George.

[George II]

21. You may do it, but I don't use "Washington Examiner" as my source of information.

[Autumn]

24. Oh dear I'm so so sorry to offend . How about Mediate? Washington Times? Daily Wire? Same clip

Same story. MSM really doesn't cover entertainment shows often. I just picked the first.

Oh well just google it and take your pick.

25. More right wing sources (Washington Times, Daily Wire), thanks:

Washington Times:







Daily Wire:

[Autumn]

28. What can I say George. They have the video. Maybe left leaning news has better shit to talk about?

[highplainsdem]

13. Bernie apparently likes appearing on the show:

These clips are from March and September of last year. There might be more appearances on the show last year, but I found these within just a few seconds searching:

[Autumn]

17. Jill and Joe Biden appeared on that show, so did Trump Jr and his side squeeze. I could name

post clips all day of politicians appearing on that show.

[highplainsdem]

19. You were trying to suggest that the show's never been friendly to Bernie. And you were wrong.

[Autumn]

23. No I did no say the show's never been friendly to Bernie. Re read my post.

6. If you want to see the hosts of The View unhappy just say Bernie's name

That's all it takes. One word. Bernie!

Since Bernie has been doing so well it's true.

[IronLionZion]

11. Dictators are not all torture and murder

Pol Pot lasted 4 years on torture and murder.

Fidel Castro made it over 6 decades because he obviously had some supporters.

There are DUers who think Trump is doing good things on some policies despite being absolutely despicable otherwise.

[KPN]

26. Stirring up division 24/7 still? How about just vote.

[OliverQ]

29. And the hosts of the View are relevant how?

You are aware Meghan McCain is a host right? Her husband works for the Federalist, which is a rabidly right-wing media source.

[DanTex]

30. LOL. No way! The View hosts bashing Bernie! That *never* happens!

[LanternWaste]

31. Blame the media, rinse, lather, repeat as necessary. The conspiracy LIVES!!!!
