A pair of co-hosts on ABC’s ‘The View’ defended fake news reports attacking teenagers at Covington Catholic High School, one justifying the media’s reaction and another blaming the kids themselves.
As you’re no doubt well-aware at this point, several students at Covington were victims of an out-of-context video that spread through the media like wildfire because it offered an opportunity to smear people wearing MAGA hats as racist.
Several other videos have since been released, thoroughly exonerating the students from the charges that were leveled against them by highly biased sources. The issue should have been put to rest.
That hasn’t stopped Trump Derangement case studies Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin from trying to justify the media’s actions and blaming the teenagers for destroying their own reputations.
Behar: Media Rushed to Judgment Because … Trump!
It’s President Trump’s fault. It always is.
Behar waded into the controversy by defending the media’s rush to judgment. She essentially claimed that the President has journalists so fired up that it’s easy to understand why they would put two and two together and come back with six.
“Why do we keep making the same mistake?” Whoopi Goldberg asked, seemingly owning the journalistic malpractice that continually takes place in the era of Trump.
“Because we’re desperate to get Trump out of office,” Behar answered. “That’s why.”
Joy Behar just admitted that they make snap judgments like they did against Covington teens because they are desperate to get President Donald Trump impeached.

“I think the press jumps the gun a lot because we just have so much circumstantial evidence against this guy that we are basically hoping Cohen’s got the goods and what have you,” Behar added. “It’s wishful thinking.”
Is that really the job of journalists? To project their fantasies into their reporting? It shouldn’t be, but Behar is onto something here.
Hostin: Whole Thing Happened Because of MAGA Hats
Hostin, in what amounts to blaming the victim of an assault for wearing a short skirt, said it was the students who were to blame. Why? Because they wore MAGA hats to a March For Life rally. The nerve!
“They were there for a pro-life why do they need those hats on their head?” Behar asked.
Tough to figure – perhaps because the President and his White House are pro-life?
Hostin agreed with Behar’s insinuation, blaming the hats and citing separation of church and state.
“That is the other thing you know Catholic churches, you get this tax exemption because you’re not supposed to be political,” she said. “They had these political hats on and these outfits. Again where were the adults advising them that they can’t wear that?”
Now Leftists get to choose what Conservatives can wear to a demonstration?
ABC’s Hostin: Covington Students Should Not Have Worn MAGA Hats to March for Life https://t.co/MrF7xttBla
— Joe Jackson (@JoeJ1513) January 22, 2019
Hostin added that the adults failing to tell the kids they can’t wear hats celebrating America made her “disgusted by the entire thing.”
So the media’s obsession with Trump and MAGA hats are a justification for kids, parents, and teachers receiving death threats at Covington Catholic?

As one observer put it, last weekend was “spectacularly shameful” for much of the – ahem – media. What continually astonishes me is that these people are so un-self-aware that they can’t see the vicious absurdity of what they’re saying. The obnoxious comments of Behar and Hostin are so outrageous that it simply leaves you stunned. They’re so desperate “to get Trump” that it justifies anything and everything, no matter how ridiculous it might be. What kind of world would it be if their views were allowed to prevail? Of course, the First Amendment protects their right to make howling idiots of themselves, but they’re supposed to be journalists. What they really are, obviously, is a public propaganda extension of the Left and the Democrat Party, totally and loudly committed to their agenda. Oh, well – their silly show is, after all, called “The View” and that’s just what it is – their view. The people who will fall for their hooey are, like them, already true believers. Everyone else, assuming anyone actually watches it, will just ignore or laugh at them, which is just what they deserve.
Calling these shews “ladies,” is way more than a stretch.
Why anyone gives credence to these dim-witted, over the hill, or just plain stupid so called comediennes is beyond me. Their audience, for the most part, watches and laughs along (at their dumb conversations and hate Trump dialog) but doesn’t consider them political commentators of any value so all-in-all “you see what you get”.
To cite these dumb broads Hostin and Behar: “They were there for a pro-life why do they need those hats on their head?” Behar asked.
Hostin agreed with Behar’s insinuation, blaming the hats and citing separation of church and state.
First, I want to ask Behar, Why do you wear clothes when you go out in public? duh. They can wear anything they want when they go out in public. It has nothing to do with the affair.
Second question goes to Hostin: Why are you showing your ignorance regarding separation of church and state? They went there as private citizens, it has nothing to do with separation of church and state. It was not the head of the local church or the priest, they were private citizens and they were not representing the church. You dumb broads need to get a life away from the view. Your panties get all ,,,,,,, you know the rest……
This is an example of how racist bigotry develops as a tumor in the brain; if I hate someone, it must be justified. No questions asked, no thought required. These are people who broke their moral compasses and drank the alcohol in it. I think it deserves to be noted again Whoopi had a flash of sanity and diverged from the herd and dissented.
Why doesn’t ABC pay these women enough $$ so they can buy themselves a CLUE? Saying that these kids should not have worn a MAGA hat to the event? ooooh, trigger. Must walk on eggshells around liberals.
What ever happened to “free speech”. Do those people (you know the ones that are so liberal (dictionary meaning of the word liberal: pertaining to, based on, or having views and policies advocating individual freedom of action and expression). It is time to start calling them on using the word liberal when they are far less liberal than just about any conservative. They are doing the name calling, and tromping on peoples rights. /why can’t these children wear MAGA hats if they so choose? Why can’t we say Merry Christmas and not have them offended. After all, liberalism is supposed to be protecting our right to free speech. . Why are we now supposed to stop using the word “family”, according to some “liberals”, and we are supposed to call transexuals “they”. Do we REALLY have to bow down to their ideas of speech? They came up with the label “hate speech”, and why isn’t what they are doing so often “hate speech”, especially when they really do hate children who wear MAGA hats.

This is most certainly about the hats! Otherwise the whole incident would be ignored by the press and forgotten. Once again its a way to discredit the President. Worse incidents have occurred with riots and protests that damage property and harm people involved. Drop the games! We know its just to get to Trump. I wonder if the media would have complained if the kids were wearing Hillary or Pelosi hats!!! Let the school handle it if its an issue and let it go away.
Yep, typical “View” hosts, they hate the President, that is uplifting the American people and finally putting the American people first, so much that they have no problem ruining innocent children’s lives in order to hurt President Trump, and promote lies such as everyone that wears a “MAGA” hat is a racist, even after President Trump has lifted-up black people more than any other race or group of people. This only proves that the real racists are the hosts of the “View”.
So basically, according to this amoral SKANK JoyBehar, absolutely ANYTHING they do–no matter HOW heinous–like, say, telling LIES about innocent people, is “justified” by their DERANGED obsession with overthrowing our legally-elected President? Where does she draw the line–would MURDER also be “justified” by their “need” to “get Trump?” How about if the mob had attacked and KILLED these teenagers, would that, too, have been “justified?”
Honestly, “morally-challenged” does not BEING to describe the lying HACKS of the media, or this TOXIC HARPY, EITHER. SMH
I guess it is time for then to get the same treatment!
I refuse to watch a group of women who are hateful. The rhetoric they spout is offensive to me and because of them I will not even watch ABC. They need to get past the fact that Americans voted him into office and move on to other topics that are entertainment for their audience.
Thee Hags on the View have to spin it any way they can to try to not look as dumb as they are. The left loves to call anyone who disagrees with them uniformed and stupid – BUT – it is them that keeps falling for the fake news time and time again.
“…why do they need those [MAGA] hats on their head?”
I suppose behar prefers they wear black masks, carry bicycle locks, and scream obscentities?
I didn’t think the shortsighted view could get any lower. Their hatred of everything that isn’t Obama is a stain on free TV. This is a program that not only parrots fake news but makes it up as they go if they can’t find enough bad to say about the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO WAS ELECTED.
That is the most idiotic excuse I have ever heard.. For this alone they deserve to be banned from the air.. They are willing to put other people’s children at stake.. That is called child endangerment and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.. They knew that and they still did it.. There is absolutely no excuse..
Mentally deranged liberal twits on the view – -a bunch of dimwit commie scumbags – -they all deserve permanent exile.
Anybody else need proof that Democrats are f**king loony?
this isn’t okay, or alright in any way shape or Form. I may not have voted last time but in 2020 I’m voting for Trump. Civilized people don’t behave the way the Democrats are behaving
Of course, it was the MAGA hats that precipitated this whole fiasco! Where do these kids come off showing their pride in America in the faces of a crowd of leftist lunatics? MAGA
Well, imagine that – -those MAGA hats just jumped off those kids heads and flew over and lassoed a bunch of deranged rabble rousers and dragged “em back” into the group – -such “magical miracles” did you ever see”” No, me either.
The ONLY reason those two snail trailing scums are still on TalmudVision is that one is a stereotypical yapping (((yenta))) and the other is a High Yella mulatto BLAK female…whut be M-pow-weird, an sheeit.
A lot of asinine “so-calles media” deserve that distinction!

THE VIEW SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
