Lockdowns for Thee But Not Me: The View Defends Attending WHCA Dinner

April 28th, 2022 3:23 PM

The cackling coven of The View twisted themselves into pretzels on Thursday as they desperately tried to defend the fact that some of them (Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro) would be attending the annual dinner hosted by the White House Correspondents Association, despite being for harsh lockdowns and strict masking guidelines. And when it came for them to have a fun-filled night of libations, they were suddenly all for promoting “personal freedom.”

Despite admitting Dr. Anthony Fauci “changes things, but that’s science,” co-host Joy Behar touted that he decided not to go to the dinner and lamented that President Biden was “still going.” “That is a super spreader -- that whole dinner is a super spreader. I have been there many times. There's a lot of people. They all sit on top of each other,” she added.

In response, Hostin bitterly and indignantly lectured would-be critics by suddenly caring about “personal freedom” when it came to ridiculous COVID protocols:

I'm going to be wearing a mask, but not the entire time. Right? Because we're eating, we’re going to be drinking. But the thing is it’s about personal assessment and personal freedom! Isn't that what everybody wanted in this country?! No one wanted the mask mandates!

No one wanted that, and what Fauci is saying is in line with the government is saying and what the administration has said, and what a lot of Americans wanted. You make that personal risk assessment.

“I had COVID in December. I'm over 50, and so I got my second booster, and I checked with my doctor who said, ‘you know, you have a very low risk of getting COVID, and so you can go,’” she screeched.

 

 

Co-host Sara Haines agreed and attacked her fellow Americas by declaring, “There was a point where we needed mandates because we couldn't trust the individual liberty. Now I think we're at a place where people need to assess their own risk.”

Navarro then chimed in to paint a disturbing picture of how she’ll be getting ready for the event. “I'm going to put on two-pair of Spanx, shove myself into an evening gown, and I’m also going to go on Saturday and be incredibly uncomfortable for many, many hours,” she said.

Hostin’s new desire to throw her mask off comes in stark contrast to her position just last month when she appeared to threaten Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with a physical attack if he tells her kids to unmask. At the time, Hostin suggested if he told one of her kids they have an option not to wear a mask she would “go nuts” and what she would do wouldn’t be “legal.”

And in February, the cast flipped out when the liberal school board in San Francisco was recalled by liberal parents for not being focused on getting kids back in school. Hostin had scolded those parents who wanted their kids to attend school in person. “I don't think we're thinking about the children and the most vulnerable, and the elderly. We're not thinking about those people,” she sneered.

So, according to Hostin: kids being in school so they can get a proper education and learn good social skills = bad and uncaring. But rubbing shoulders with “journalists” and other celebrities = you need to respect my “pErSoNaL fReEdOm!”

Sunny Hostin’s selfish hypocrisy was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Angi and Allegra. Their contact information is linked.

JOY BEHAR: There were very few heroes. Very few heroes in this pandemic, I noticed. Very few.

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think Fauci was one of them.

BEHAR: Fauci. We at least can at least follow him. He changes things, but that’s science, you know. Dr. Fauci also said he's not attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend after making an individual assessment of his personal risk, but President Biden is still going.

Do you think that he should maybe stay home? That is a super spreader -- that whole dinner is a super spreader. I have been there many times. There's a lot of people. They all sit on top of each other.

HOSTIN: And I’ve been there too. I'm actually going to go on Saturday, but – Listen –

BEHAR: You will be wearing a mask.

HOSTIN: I'm going to be wearing a mask, but not the entire time. Right? Because we're eating, we’re going to be drinking. But the thing is it’s about personal assessment and personal freedom! Isn't that what everybody wanted in this country?! No one wanted the mask mandates!

No one wanted that, and what Fauci is saying is in line with the government is saying and what the administration has said, and what a lot of Americans wanted. You make that personal risk assessment.

Fauci is 81. He said that -- and he says he’s never had COVID, and he has decided not to go because of his own individual status.

I had COVID in December. I'm over 50, and so I got my second booster, and I checked with my doctor who said, ‘you know, you have a very low risk of getting COVID, and so you can go.’

SARA HAINES: That’s what I think the President should do. You have to resort to your own personal doctors. We are at the phase – There was a point where we needed mandates because we couldn't trust the individual liberty. Now I think we're at a place where people need to assess their own risk.

ANA NAVARRO: I'm going to put on two-pair of Spanx, shove myself into an evening gown, and I’m also going to go on Saturday and be incredibly uncomfortable for many, many hours.

HOSTIN: And you have had your second booster as well and you had COVID.

NAVARRO: Yeah. But the kind of interaction we’re going to have in the crowd is different than the interaction, I hope and I suspect, the president will have.

HOSTIN: Right.
