With it being Election Day, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View turned Tuesday’s show into a collective therapy session as they tried to cope with the unknown results. They had to resort to celebrating the little victories; all of them cheering and clapping when faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin admitted she had voted for Vice President Harris. Then there was moderator Whoopi Goldberg who wanted people to fart in their voting booth.
Farah Griffin said she felt “anxious, but hopeful” about how things would turn out. And despite how she previously supported former President Trump and was proud to work for him, she now proclaimed he “deserved to lose” in 2020:
Four years ago today I was in the White House with Donald Trump on election night. I was there sitting next to one of his cabinet officials when Arizona was called for Joe Biden and when it became increasingly clear that he was going to lose. I believe he deserved to lose that night. At that point, I thought he haven’t fight to win the election. But I thought the next four years would be the Republican Party rebuilding and something I could believe in and turning the page on Donald Trump, and it didn’t do that.
“So, this weekend on Saturday, for the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat!” she boasted to an eruption of cheers and applause from the liberal audience and her fellow co-hosts.
Joy Behar gave her the approval and the rhetorical pat on the head she’d been seemingly craving, when the so-called comedian told her, “Good girl!”
“I voted for Kamala Harris! I then voted down ballot for Republicans. I consider my vote on loan to her. I’m worry the direction that Donald Trump will take this country, and I take my own warning seriously,” Farah Griffin added.
She got further approval from pretend moderate Sara Haines, who commended her for choosing “democracy”:
First of all, I think that is a big move for you as someone who has been a Republican for your whole life, from a Republican family. And I think of it less as you voting for a Democrat and more for you voting for a democracy, for a constitution. So, I commend you for that. I know standing up if are something has a cost. So, she will get torn apart, but you did the right thing. And I commend you for that.
“She’s like Liz Cheney! Same thing,” Behar touted.
Towards the end of the segment, Goldberg pleaded with people not to sit out the election. She then cooked up a conspiracy theory about poll working kicking people out for farting while standing in line. She instructed people to “clutch” then “let it rip” in the voting booth:
Stay in line. Yes, because if any little thing – you pass a little gas, they want to move you out. There are all kinds – So, just hold – clutch! Just stand clutched until you get in there and then once you’re behind the curtain let it rip!
Talk about a show with a lot of hot air.
