On the eve of Election Day, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were so confident in Vice President Kamala Harris that they spent a good portion of it begging Republicans to vote Democratic. They even trotted out rejected former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney to try to appeal to them. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg even floated their guest as the next attorney general of the United States, and possibly the director of the FBI or CIA.
Since facts don’t matter to ABC and they needed Harris to win the election, Sunny Hostin pushed the already debunked hoax the liberal media cooked up last week claiming former President Trump called her Cheney to face a firing squad.
In reality, an honest showing of the full context (which The View didn’t do) proves Trump was talking about war hawks like Cheney not being witness to the wars they support, and how her opinion would change if she was there.
“And then by far, in my view, the most serious direct threat against you,” she proclaimed, teeing Cheney up to keep pushing the big lie that he was threatening her:
HOSTIN: Now, Trump’s campaign said he was criticizing you willingness to start wars, and send American troops into combat without having seen combat. But now he’s doubled down on his rhetoric calling you a war hawk who was to kill people unnecessarily, and calling you a disgrace. What is your reaction to the clip we saw?
CHENEY: Yeah. I mean, look. He — he’s said this nonsense about sort of, you know, war hawk before, but what he did a couple of days ago, he’s never done before; taking the step of saying, you know, nine rifles shooting her in the face, and he knows what he’s doing. He knows it’s a threat.
Later on in the gooey interview, pretend moderate Sara Haines praised Cheney for turning her back on her party and joining the Democrats at the ballot box. “And you not only endorsed her. You, for the first time ever, voted for a Democrat,” she touted.
“So, I want to ask you how that feels, but I also want to ask, was any part of that — this idea of reclaiming the actual conservative values of the party? Because I always say, to get the Republican Party back, they have to get it out of Trump’s hands,” Haines wanted to know.
Cheney proceeded to ramble on about how Republicans need to vote for Democrats to somehow save their party.
She also condescendingly lectured Republicans who had stronger principles than her and were choosing to write-in another Republican rather than vote for any of the options. “And I want to make sure people all across the country understand you don’t have that luxury. We have to defeat him,” she chided.
Toward the end of the interview, Goldberg wanted to know if Cheney was also a trained lawyer. Upon getting an affirmative, she enthusiastically floated Cheney to be the next U.S. attorney general or a director of any of the alphabet bureaucracies because her “moral core is magnificent.”
“I know you probably don’t want to even think about it, but I just feel like I would feel a lot better with you leading the FBI, the CIA, the NBC, the LMNOP, everybody,” she proclaimed. “That’s just me. So, I’m just saying, should it be floated, please think about it.”
Cheney didn’t want to think about it just yet. “We have to get Vice President Harris elected tomorrow,” she tried to brush it off.
“I’m putting it in the universe because that’s how we do things,” Goldberg added.

SUNNY HOSTIN: And then by far, in my view, the most serious direct threat against you. We have a clip of it.
[Cuts to video]
DONALD TRUMP: She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.
[Cuts back to live]
HOSTIN: Now, Trump’s campaign said he was criticizing you willingness to start wars, and send American troops into combat without having seen combat. But now he’s doubled down on his rhetoric calling you a war hawk who was to kill people unnecessarily, and calling you a disgrace.

So, I want to ask you how that feels, but I also want to ask, was any part of that — this idea of reclaiming the actual conservative values of the party? Because I always say, to get the Republican Party back, they have to get it out of Trump’s hands.
CHENEY: Yeah. I mean, look. I think, first of all, there is only one serious responsible adult in this race. There’s just one. And it’s not a race where we have the luxury of being able – You know, sometimes conservatives will say, ‘well, I’m going to write in an alternative. I’m not going to vote for Trump, but I’m going to write somebody in.’ And I want to make sure people all across the country understand you don’t have that luxury. We have to defeat him.

GOLDBERG: And I say this because your moral core is magnificent.
CHENEY: Well –
[Applause]
GOLDBERG: And I – I know you probably don’t want to even think about it, but I just feel like I would feel a lot better with you leading the FBI, the CIA, the NBC, the LMNOP, everybody.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: The NBC.
HAINES: Even the media.
GOLDBERG: That’s just me. So, I’m just saying, should it be floated, please think about it.
HAINES: And under the radar.
CHENEY: We have to get Vice President Harris elected tomorrow. We really – that’s just –
GOLDBERG: I’m just — I’m being –
ANA NAVARRO: You’re putting it out into the universe.
