A heated exchange on “The View” regarding the decisions in Colorado and Maine to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot has taken the internet by storm.
Joy Behar and Sara Haines expressed contrasting views on the matter, with Behar appearing to suggest that voters are not capable of making the right choice in advocating for Trump’s exclusion.
“I actually agree with Gov. Gavin Newsom and David Axelrod — these are Democrats, leading Democrats — that say this would really cause a division that’s almost insurmountable,” Haines said. (Trending: ‘American Idol’ Producer Sued For Sexual Assault)
“So what are you saying?” Behar cut in.
“I don’t think the Supreme Court is going to hold this,” Haines said.
“I think they’re going to overturn it and it won’t just be the originalists — I bet it’s a 9-0 vote.”
“So you think they should leave it to the voters?” Behar asked.
“I think they should leave it to the voters,” Haines said.
“Oh no!” Behar pressed.
“We have a nation that doesn’t believe in democracy, doesn’t believe in the voting,” Haines said.
“Everyone that loses says it was rigged and failed. I think this will create a visual to people that this was a rigged election.”
Behar pressed that “the law will stand.”
“If you’re not going to follow an amendment, then why don’t we have Taylor Swift run for president?” Behar said.
Behar’s opinion reflects a top-down liberal attitude that conservatives strongly reject, ultimately fueling support for Trump.
The discussion shed light on the current divisions and frustrations within the political landscape.
