None of them listen to each other. They all just spew their sides talking points while constantly interrupting and talking over each other. It doesn’t help their cause since they are proving the people right who refer to The View panelists as a bunch of cackling hens.

People think that leaking is bad when it’s done to their side and call it whistle blowing when it’s the other side. Partisanship is out of control in America! Very sad indeed.

I don’t want to get political and this topic was discussed on the show, but I have to ask this. Is telling someone to be disrespectful okay as long as you don’t do it to their face? Does that make any sense? I don’t see the situations as being all that different. This is what I meant when I said both sides cannot recognize or acknowledge hypocrisy from their own side.

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. On today’s show, Abby mentioned the incident where Maxine Waters said that “if you see anybody from that Trump cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them....” Waters said this last June. On The View episode following Maxine Waters saying this, Sunny did vigorously defend her. That is what I was talking about. Sunny had no problem with Maxine being disrespectful to Republicans at that time, but now she is appalled when a Republican disrespects Maxine. That’s the hypocrisy that I was referring to.

Abby was just saying that Sunny et al were vigorously defending Maxine Waters when she is being disrespectful towards Republican politicians yet are outraged when the reverse happens. The hypocrisy is glaring. That’s why politics suck! Both sides are brutally hypocritical, yet neither side recognizes or acknowledges it.

Joy literally thinks that the Obama administration was scandal free. Meghan doesn’t know how to respond in a respectful manner and comes across very bitchy. It would be nice to have a conservative panelist who could articulate her thoughts well so that there could be productive back and forth discourse. Too bad. While Obama was a much nicer man Trump, his administration was far from having no scandals. Benghazi, IRS targeting conservatives, Operation Fast and Furious, FISA and the Iran nuclear deal are a few. Those are the ones on the top of my head.

It’s called being objective. You don’t have to like someone or support someone to defend them.

Nancy Pelosi said those exact words publicly. Mind blowing. I know.

Doesn’t that prove her point to be true?

Whoopi has no idea about the concept of insurance and nobody on the panel has the balls to explain it to her because they’re afraid of hurting her feelings. I think they should anyway because whoopi going on about year after year just makes her look stupid.

The term right wing used to mean conservative. It has now been bastardized to mean radical, racist nutjob. I'm pretty sure that's what Meghan was talking about.

100% agree with you.

I totally agree. Abby is right. People just want to see what they want to see. Sunny and Joy has no problem with the Parkland students being political. Now it’s bad because it’s not their side. Meghan was on the opposite side when it concerned the Parkland students. Confirmation bias is a real thing. Doctor Phil talked about it on the show the last time he was a guest. Joy proved it today. She actually admitted.

They were not mocking the indigenous man, they were doing their school’s spirit chants to drown out the hateful slurs that were being directed at them by the Black Israelites.

I agree, it is annoying and extremely unprofessional in my opinion. The View is part of ABC News so the “experts” on the panel should behave accordingly. Whoopi is a just being immature. She can’t get over the fact that Trump won the election and won’t let anyone forget it. Instead of getting angry, she should proactively work towards promoting a candidate who could replace Trump in 2020.
