The View” Cast Criticizes Trump’s Hurricane Response Claims

The hosts of the popular daytime talk show “The View” engaged in a heated discussion about former President Donald Trump during their Tuesday segment, focusing on his accusations against President Joe Biden’s response to the recent Hurricane Helene. Trump’s comments have caused a stir, as he claimed that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp faced difficulties in contacting Biden, suggesting a lack of responsiveness from the President’s team.

During the show, moderator Whoopi Goldberg questioned the Republican Party’s continued support for Trump, saying, “I have to just keep saying, is the GOP brain dead? How can they allow him to continue to act as if he’s in charge?” She directed this question towards Republican co-host and former Trump staff member, Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Griffin expressed her astonishment at her party’s decision to support Trump as a presidential nominee, describing him as a “buffoon who never misses an opportunity to politicize a tragedy.” The discussion revolved around Trump’s past actions, including his denial of a sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels, a claim that he has consistently refuted.

Another co-host, Sara Haines, used humor to critique Trump by stating, “he thinks because he slept with someone named Stormy that he’s a weather expert.” The comment referenced the legal issues Trump faced related to Daniels, including a conviction on charges associated with influencing the 2016 presidential election.

In addition to these critiques, the conversation also touched on an earlier segment with Vice President Kamala Harris. Host Joy Behar praised Harris, labeling her as tough and capable, contrasting her willingness to do live interviews with Trump’s perceived avoidance of such engagements. Behar argued, “He doesn’t go on any interviews now because he’s afraid they’re gonna fact-check him.”

As the discussion progressed, Goldberg expressed her support for Harris, noting, “She’s not gonna get everything right for everybody on day one, but I believe she’s actually gonna do her best.” These exchanges highlight the show’s critical perspective on Trump while showcasing a supportive stance towards Harris in the upcoming political climate. “The View” continues to address significant political issues, airing weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT.
