It’s been about a year since left-wing comedian George Lopez put out a “joke” offering to assassinate then-President Trump for our enemies in Iran. His threat earned him a visit from the Secret Service. But as he called in to Friday's The View, neither he or the hosts seemed bothered by this incident, in fact they praised him and took glee in it.
Actually, it was the first thing co-host Joy Behar brought up, calling the Secret Service visit “an honor.”
"So I know you as a funny guy and you have been an outspoken critic of the previous President, and one of your jokes landed you in trouble with Secret Service. That's an honor right there. How do you feel watching him finally leave the White House this week?" she gushed.
As the other co-hosts chuckled, Lopez made a fat joke: “Well, first of all, I didn't think the helicopter was going to get off the ground, but it did.” He added how “refreshing” it was to have an administration that didn’t “demonize Latinos.”
Showcasing how this interview was basically just Democrat hacks congratulating themselves for getting Joe Biden into the White House, co-host Ana Navarro praised Lopez for the work they did as Biden surrogates in getting out the Latino vote:
You and I joined forces during the election to help out -- help Biden get out the Latino vote, and on his first day in office, he halted construction of Trump's precious little wall. He immediately introduced an immigration bill to preserve DACA and keep families together. He established a path to -- established a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented, and he put a bust of Cezar Chavez in the credenza behind the resolute desk. How are you feeling? Was it worth it, are you feeling hopeful?
Lopez was so pleased with Biden’s first day as President, he compared it to having sex with someone on the first date: “You know, usually if somebody is dating and does all of that to somebody he is interested in, you're saying, you know, I usually don't sleep with somebody on the first night, but look what he's done. I'm spending the night. I'm walking with my shoes the next morning out of the room.
The co-hosts loved the gross analogy, with Sara Haines exclaiming, “It’s not even a walk of shame, George!”
Lopez continued, calling it a “great start” for Biden before going back to complain that he felt like a “neutered dog" after his Secret Service visit for threatening to assassinate President Trump:
When the Secret Service comes to your house and tells you everything that you have said on social media and they present you with a dossier. I never thought I would have a dossier. Now I know when dogs feel when they get neutered, you know, they got so much energy and they're marking up the house and when they come back, they're just kind of, you know, you should have seen me before.

GEORGE LOPEZ: You know, usually if somebody is dating and does all of that to somebody he is interested in, you're saying, you know, I usually don't sleep with somebody on the first night, but look what he's done. I'm spending the night. I'm walking with my shoes the next morning out of the room.
SARA HAINES: It’s not even a walk of shame, George!
LOPEZ: I'll wait until it's full sunlight, and walk with my little shoes out there. It's a great start. When the Secret Service comes to your house and tells you everything that you have said on social media and they present you with a dossier. I never thought I would have a dossier. Now I know when dogs feel when they get neutered, you know, they got so much energy and they're marking up the house and when they come back, they're just kind of, you know, you should have seen me before.
HAINES: He had better days!
