‘The View’ Hosts Struggle To Cope As Anti-Trump Lawfare Efforts Evaporate

The liberal cohosts of ABC’s “The View” struggled to keep it together after special prosecutor Jack Smith filed to drop his ongoing cases against President-elect Donald Trump — and Judge Tanya Chutkan signed off on one of his requests.

Cohost Joy Behar addressed the issue during Tuesday’s broadcast of the midday talk show, where she argued that the end of the lawfare proved that “karma” against Trump was non-existent.

“After all that time and money, are we gonna get a rebate?” cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked of the now-wasted efforts to go after Trump. “We’re not getting any money back on that? Okay, well, what do you think of that?”

“It kind of shows that there’s no such thing as karma, doesn’t it?” Behar asked. “It’s like the Easter Bunny and affordable housing, it doesn’t exist. I mean, I feel like — eventually, I think we will get him out. But it’s going to take a while and let’s hope there’s not too much damage that he does.”

Behar did not elaborate on what she meant when she said someone would “get him out,” but instead went on to jab at the American people for not listening to Vice President Kamala Harris when she promised to help people afford houses.

Behar then argued that it would be up to Republicans in Congress — many of whom won their seats on their promise to help Trump implement his agenda — to “step up” and help Democrats stop Trump from implementing his agenda.

“I also think even though everybody’s been talking about how awful these picks are for the Cabinet, I feel like some of the Republicans in Congress are going to have to step up,” Behar continued. “Especially when you have somebody like Robert Kennedy Jr. — you sent me a thing the other day that said that Dengue Fever is on the rise, ok? I don’t think these Republicans want to get Dengue Fever. I don’t think that they want to get COVID. I don’t think that they want their kids to not get the polio shot.”

“Maybe they will step up because it will affect them,” she said.

Kennedy Jr., whose platform as an independent presidential candidate was Make America Healthy Again, has long said that he does not oppose vaccines on principle — he simply opposes vaccines that have not been through thorough and rigorous testing and does not believe that they should be mandated.
