The ladies of The View have long been known for their daily doses of screeching and sanctimony and Trump hate, but co-host Joy Behar took it to a whole new level when she attacked Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national press secretary, recently for – brace yourself – being too good-looking.
Yes, the gaggle of old and haggardly looking View co-hosts (Behar is 82 and Goldberg is is 69) don’t think that Leavitt got her job because of competence. Instead, it’s because she’s pretty. Nevermind that Leavitt is the youngest press secretary ever (age 27) which should be celebrated – but Democrats don’t care about the accomplishments of women and minority Republicans.
Behar, with all the grace of a car alarm at 3 a.m., insinuated that Leavitt couldn’t possibly be anything more than a pretty face – because that’s the kind of feminism The View peddles: supporting women, but only if they toe the liberal line. If a conservative woman dares to exist, the claws come out.
Behar said, “I think that she’s (Leavitt) probably been put in there because according to Donald Trump, she’s a 10…You know that’s what it is.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin nodded along as if Behar had just unlocked some great secret of the universe. Goldberg said that Leavitt is in her position because of the Democrats. She said, “I would like this young lady who, this is her first job, I would like her to do a little homework because she said something yesterday that really p—ed me off. She said ‘there will be no wokeness here.’”
(Dear idiot Goldberg: This isn’t Leavitt’s “first” job. Why don’t YOU do your own homework?!!)
Goldberg went on to say, “Let me explain something to you…Without that wokeness, you might not have that job.”
Give me a break. It’s like Obama telling us that we don’t “build” anything and that we only have businesses and roads and bridges because of Democrats.
At this point, The View might as well rebrand as The Hens – clucking away in frustration because they aren’t the young, popular faces of TV. But with the “hate Trump just to hate Trump” crowd shrinking by the day, their squawking is starting to sound more like white noise than must-watch TV.
