‘The View’ Hosts Sunny Hostin & Whoopi Goldberg Tell Viewers To Skip Thanksgiving If Family Voted For Trump

Nothing like spending the holidays alone to stick it to your family for disagreeing with you politically. Obviously tensions are still high as we're now just a week out from the 2024 presidential election, which saw former President Donald Trump complete his political comeback to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris and become the 47th President of the United States. The reactions have ranged from Trump supporters celebrating to Harris supporters having what can only be described as a nuclear meltdown. I mean, if you come across their posts on social media it looks like a livestream from a mental institution. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1854263018865242321 And of course the media have been having a rough time the past week too. On the day after the election, Trump supporters tuned into ABC's daytime talk show The View for maybe the first time ever just to see the hilariously-over-the-top reaction from the liberal panel. And later that evening, late night show host Jimmy Kimmel cried actual tears while talking about Trump returning to the White House: https://twitter.com/wideawake_media/status/1854486594280927673 Totally sane stuff from the media. Meanwhile on SNL this past weekend, the cast looked like somebody had just kicked their dog as they tried to make jokes about the election, doing a skit where they tried to convince Trump that they supported him all along: https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1855470889619411397 I'm pretty sure most of these people on TV need to be in front of a therapist and not a camera. But regardless, they keep on putting their insanity out there for the world to see - like on a recent episode from the brain trust over there at The View. During the show, the hosts were discussing whether or not Harris supporters should attend Thanksgiving dinner with their Trump-supporting family members. While the majority of the panel had rational takes like "you don't want to spend Thanksgiving by yourself because you can't set politics aside," two of the ladies disagreed. Co-host Sunny Hostin was (obviously) an avid Harris supporter, and ended up playing an inadvertent role in the campaign when she asked the Vice President what she would do differently than President Joe Biden. What should have been a softball question that gave Harris a chance to set herself apart from Biden ended up being a disaster when the Vice President couldn't think of a single thing that she would do differently than the current President. And Hostin thinks that if your family voted for Trump, you should consider skipping Thanksgiving dinner this year: "I really do feel that this candidate, President-Elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate. From the things he's said and the things he's done and the things he will do, it's more of a moral issue for me. And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people. I would say it was different when, let's say, Bush got elected. You may not have agreed with his policies but you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person. Deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed by morality." Does she not remember the Bush years? That's some revisionist history right there. But anyway, Hostin thinks all of this is a perfectly acceptable reason to skip Thanksgiving: "I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families, but against them, and against people that they loved, I think it's ok to take a beat." And Whoopi Goldberg agreed with her: "I appreciate the voters, but I will say, somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn't be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question it. I don't want to put my kid in that position. I don't want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn't understand her, and feels like it's ok to just blurt all that out. That's just me. With mixed families I feel the same way. There are certain things where you don't have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point but it might not be the time to gather because you know there's going to be some tension." What exactly do these people think that normal folks are talking about at Thanksgiving? https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1856722347950055607
