Nicholas Fondacaro, the Media Research Center’s allegedly professional hate-watcher of “The View,” previously raged that show’s hosts discussed Donald Trump’s New York trial, so he was due for another rage-bender when the hosts discussed Trump’s conviction on all 34 counts he faced, and he didn’t disappoint in a May 31 post:
Friday’s edition of ABC’s The View was exactly what one expected it to be after former President Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts. Between TMI admissions that they were “leaking” with excitement in the aisle of a store and pearl-clutching exasperations of how far America had fallen and the obligatory demands he be sent to prison, the Cackling Coven’s reactions had it all.
From the get-go, things were out of the ordinary as moderator Whoopi Goldberg was on set. “Now, do not adjust your TV set. Yes, I’m here on a Friday. Because this is a very unique moment in history. That’s why we’re all at the table,” she announced, showing off all six co-hosts.
With co-host Joy Behar telling her not to “choke” when announcing the news, Goldberg had to stifle a laugh and flubbed when she proclaimed Trump was a “confected” felon before correcting herself. She also uncharacteristically used Trump’s full name (Donald John Trump) instead of her usual “you-know-who.”
According to Behar’s own admission, news of Trump’s conviction (via her smartwatch) left her so excited that her incontinence kicked in and she wet herself in the aisle of her local Costco:
[…]Pretend-independent Sara Haines lamented how she was going to explain all of this to her son. “Because to sit here as a parent or a teacher or an auntie or any leader in this and try to explain to your child that someone who could not vote in this country because they’re a convict could run and rule the country,” she bemoaned. “More questions are coming and I don’t know if I’m ready for them, but it’s scary.”
On the more serious end, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) proclaimed, “I felt like I won” and hinted that she had sources in the district attorney’s office that said they were going to try to get Trump sentenced to a year in prison.
“And that is because when you spend a year in prison in New York or under, you serve in Rikers Island,” Hostin boasted.
Hostin’s lawyers should be happy that Fondacaro keeps spreading filthy lies about her that will bolster her eventual libel and defamation suit against him and his employer.
When the “View” hosts pointed how much of a Trump toady Marco Rubio has become, Fondacaro ranted about that too in a June 3 post:
Ana Navarro claims to still be a Republican despite actively campaigning for President Biden’s reelection effort and repeatedly defending allegedly corrupt Democrats such as New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez. And on Monday’s show, in the wake of former President Trump’s felony convictions under questionable circumstances, she raged at Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio for defending Trump by comparing him to a “dog.”
In the midst of The View’s whining about Republican politicians speaking out in support of the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Navarro bloviated about how, “You know, some people have emotional support dogs. Donald Trump has emotional support senators.”
She suggested they were fighting among “themselves as to who kisses his ass more” to become his vice president. “But worse amongst them is the senator from my state of Florida, Marco Rubio,” she declared.
After playing a soundbite of Rubio comparing the Trump trial to the show trials of communist Cuba after the revolution, Navarro exploded:
[…]Moderator Whoopi Goldberg built off of Navarro and lectured Cuban-Americans about supporting Trump; insinuating that they were either hypocrites or stupid for doing so:
Let me ask, because I don’t understand. All my life I have heard the Cuban people say, “we never want to see that. We’re going to make sure it never happens here.” How can — how can they not recognize when the man says, ‘I’m going to be this guy?’ What’s — what are we missing?
“And the reason I was so curious about Marco Rubio saying something like that is because you heard all these stories. Who do you think they were talking about? A dictatorship that ate the country. I don’t understand how you think it’s going to be different,” Goldberg bloviated.
Navarro was still fuming: “He knows better. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He just thinks that the person that says the most outrageous thing will be rewarded by being Donald Trump’s vice president.”
When Haines argued that Trump and “the people around him have to stop sowing mistrust in our systems.,” Fondacaro lamely played whataboutism, huffing that “just last week alone, The View ran multiple segments where they actively tore at the fabric of American institutions by attacking the legitimacy of the court.” Fondacaro isn’t going to mention that Trump really did lose the 2020 election, the charges Trump faced in New York were real, his conviction was real, and all of the rage of Trump and his cronies (including Fondacaro’s employer) are an attempt to distract from that unpleasant (for Trump) reality. By contrast, it’s perfectly reasonable to question the legitimacy of an increasingly partisan Supreme Court whose right-wing skew Trump helped to make possible.
