TheGreenKnight November 6, 2019 Share November 6, 2019 I have a feeling Gabbard--or even McCain, who seems intent on propping her up (no surprise there)--demanded Sunny wasn't there to counter her because they didn't explain why Sunny was out. Still, I thought Joy did a pretty good job going after her, pointing out how toxic and divisive her response was, the fact that Gabbard isn't any different from Hillary as far as believing the early lies that started the Iraq War, and calling her out for ascribing words that were never said about her on The View to the ladies as well as for attacking another woman herself when she tried to act like a victim of some kind of misogyny. I'm glad Whoopi went back to Hillary's original quote to show she didn't even name Gabbard and was talking about Stein with the last remark. At least McCain found another evil gal to have slumber parties with. Love at first sight. 6 hours ago, 2JEWELL said: Joy should have said “it’s your job to be a trigger “ That whole discussion felt like they could've been talking about McCain herself. A dancer that can't dance, a talkshow co-host who doesn't know how to talk or have a discussion. Being unqualified for and incompetent at your job is something to be proud of now? I laughed at her blatant fear over the Kentucky results early in the show. When Abby started to say McConnell should be nervous, McCain jumped in and diverted the topic away from her very quickly. Hopefully Sunny brings it up again tomorrow, lol. 10 Link to comment

This is a very superficial comment and I have felt it from the moment I 1st saw her. There is SOMETHING in her eyes that tells me not to trust her. I have seen it in others and I was right with them. Not even sure I know exactly what it is but the eyes are the window to the soul and well, I am not seeing something that I trust. Not sure I can explain it any further than that but there it is. That is my nutty comment of the day! 1 1 15 Link to comment

I hope she finds a way of talking about it tomorrow, since Gabbard was mischaracterizing what she said as well. 11 Link to comment

merriebreeze November 6, 2019 Share November 6, 2019 Tulsi to Joy: “Let me start with how offensive it is to say that I’m a witting or unwitting asset of a foreign country, working against the interests of my country, a country that I am willing to lay my life down for. So if you are saying it’s not deliberately, then you are implying that I am too stupid and too naive and lack the intelligence to know what I am doing. And that is extremely offensive to me and to every woman of color.” How is Joy implying that Tulsi is an unwitting Russian asset offensive to every woman of color?

bannana November 6, 2019 Share November 6, 2019 This article provides some of the dialogue verbatim. It was really planned. Whoopi started with some incoherent nonsense about the telescope. I happen to know what she is talking about but nobody else did. Then Whoopi tried to explain it. Tulsi basically says it is an ongoing thing, meaning the protest against it. Everyone agreed it should not be on sacred land. Then Tulsi kind of took over and speechified with Joy trying to clarify her points. But she was kind of stumbly. She did get a few good points in but Tulsi was on a role, on the offensive while playing the victimized. https://deadline.com/2019/11/tulsi-gabbard-joy-behar-meghan-mccain-the-view-useful-idiot-1202779446/ 1 9 Link to comment

RHJunkie November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 First of all, don't bring up being a woman of colour when it suits your attempts at dodging criticism. The criticisms against Gabbard had nothing to do with her being a woman or a person of colour (which is a far different experience when you are white-passing by the way). Defend your intellectualism, that's fair enough...but all the other comments was so cheap and sickening to listen to her bring up. As a person of colour, don't cheapen my experiences in this world as though someone's criticism of you and your campaign platform is some kind of affront to me and my very existence. As far as I'm concerned, Gabbard can take her cult-ish leader speak far away and never come back. She came prepared, I'll give her that, but she came prepared to be a victim. I read the transcript and heard the full answer from HC. The question was about Republican strategy and in response, Clinton said they (Republicans) were grooming a third party candidate (Gabbard). And then she made reference to the Russian interest in Gabbard given the rise of bots and fake sites in support of her. She said that Jill Stein was a Russian asset (pretty sure an asset not in the sense that she's on the phone with Russia conspiring against the United States, but a Russian asset in the sense that they have special interest in her for a reason (as they do with Gabbard). Clinton's spokesperson did in a roundabout way confirm that it was Gabbard that HC was referencing, BUT Gabbard is continuing to push a false narrative that HC is saying she is being groomed by the Russians even though there has since been corrections to clarify this. This has nothing to do with calling into question her patriotism. When I read the actual transcript and heard the podcast, I wondered if so many people can be so obtuse...can people not keep up with conversation and simultaneously have consideration of context? Is this not what we learn in grade school when we read stories and have to write summaries on them? I find it alarming that anyone would consider Gabbard a real candidate for President when her comprehension skills are so clearly lacking which is a good basis to suggest that maybe she isn't as smart as she thinks she is. And I say all of this as someone who can't stand HC. It's unfortunate, because I agree on her general sentiment with respect to war. When you topple other governments, you give rise the chaos and instability. Pretty sure Meghan's turnabout on Gabbard is because Gabbard has said she won't take her guns. Joy is often flippant with her remarks and she was called to task today. I don't mind that she doubled down but she didn't do it all that well. I get that her issue with Tucker Carlson is that she feels that Gabbard is giving someone a platform they don't deserve and it's a matter of principle for Joy and even the likes of Warren but that's a personal decision. Nothing wrong with understanding that you have to promote yourself to many different demographics and going on popular Fox shows is just part of playing the game. I wish Sunny would have been there today as I do think she would have a done a better job at not only clarifying the comments, but also pushing back on Gabbard's insistence that HC's camp confirmed it was her that HC claimed was being groomed by Russian as a Russian asset. 5 16 Link to comment

bannana November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 In many ways, I think The View would be better off if they limited their political talk to just talking about the newsy political items, of which there are plenty. They should stop trying to be political analysts cause they are just not good at it, and they are ill-informed. And inarticulate (I am looking at you Whoopi and MeAgain.) The show has become so tedious to watch, because they are repeating themselves, quoting their blue cards, and generally making very little sense. 13 Link to comment
