Those stealthy Republican ninjas were at it again! Earlier this year, the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View claimed Republicans were “behind” the classified documents found in President Biden’s Delaware garage. Now, on Friday, they were claimed Republicans infiltrated the White House and “planted” cocaine in the West Wing to “advance the Hunter Biden narrative.” At least that’s what Joy Behar and Ana Navarro wanted people to believe.
In an attempt to deflect attention away from the possibility that someone in the administration or the Biden family was the perpetrator, racist co-host Sunny Hostin claimed, without evidence, that the cocaine came from “a tourist, a stupid tourist, a guest, somebody like that.”
But while Hostin was quipping about how the person “left their stash,” Behar was busy wondering: “Maybe it was planted, or do I sound paranoid?”
At least she had a tinge of self-awareness.
But after playing a clip of Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) pointing out the two-tiered justice system that benefits the Bidens, Behar whined that Cocainegate was just “more fodder for the Republican conspiracy machine.”
Helping Behar drive their own conspiracy machine, faux conservative Ana Navarro claimed, without evidence, that Republicans “planted” the cocaine so they could keep talking about Hunter Biden:
No matter what the answer would have been they would always blame Hunter Biden. As I said before and I’m going to continue saying, we’re going to see it for the next year: They are weaponizing Hunter Biden against his dad as an effective tool to get his dad to lose his cool and to get his dad to, you know, feel the heartache. They're going to weaponize Hunter Biden.
It has nothing to do with Hunter Biden but you can hear that said 100 times, and people who want to believe it are still going to believe that. Well, okay. And there's people who might believe that it was planted for somebody so that then they could advance the Hunter Biden narrative. Who knows? Bottom line is there are no answers.
Being one the few talking any sense at the table, co-host Sara Haines was like many Americans in that she couldn’t understand how no cameras saw what happened. “I wonder why it seemed to be a blind spot for a security camera. We can't go to a Broadway show, we can't fly without taking our shoes off, yet you have this very private part of the White House and they don't have cameras on the cubby holes?” she said in disgust.
Navarro bizarrely countered by arguing and demonstrating how easy it was for someone to accidentally leave their cocaine at the White House. “You know like when your kids, you know those cubbies where you put shoes, that's what these cubbies look like. Right? They're tiny, these cubbies. So, if you're taking your phone out of your pocket, not that I've brought anything into the White House that I wouldn't like seen, but if you're taking your -- and you put it in the cubby there's no way,” she trailed off.
“But if they know it’s cubby 50. If they have a video, whoever is in cubby 50,” Haines emphasized the need for cameras.
It was at this point Behar was done with the topic and pivoted to GOP debate speculation.
The View’s conspiracy theory about Republicans planting cocaine in the White House was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Leaf Filter and Dove. Their contact information is linked.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: People in those positions cannot be doing drugs. Our adversaries could exploit it, it's not a small deal.
JOY BEHAR: So who did it?
SUNNY HOSTIN: That’s the thing, it's like Cocainegate. We don’t know who did this. I'm thinking maybe it's a tourist, a stupid tourist, a guest, somebody like that. And you've got to put your phone there. You've got to put your bags there.
BEHAR: Maybe it was planted, or do I sound paranoid?
HOSTIN: You got to put stuff there. And so, somebody just --
FARAH GRIFFIN: Who brings their cocaine to the White House?
HOSTIN: They left their stash.

BEHAR: So, is this more fodder for the Republican machine – conspiracy machine.
ANA NAVARRO: No matter what the answer would have been they would always blame Hunter Biden. As I said before and I’m going to continue saying, we’re going to see it for the next year: They are weaponizing Hunter Biden against his dad as an effective tool to get his dad to lose his cool and to get his dad to, you know, feel the heartache. They're going to weaponize Hunter Biden.
It has nothing to do with Hunter Biden but you can hear that said 100 times, and people who want to believe it are still going to believe that. Well, okay. And there's people who might believe that it was planted for somebody so that then they could advance the Hunter Biden narrative. Who knows? Bottom line is there are no answers.
SARA HAINES: When Alyssa marks down everything you have to do to be able to be in that part of the White House, I wonder why it seemed to be a blind spot for a security camera. We can't go to a Broadway show, we can't fly without taking our shoes off, yet you have this very private part of the White House and they don't have cameras on the cubby holes?
HOSTIN: I’m surprised they don’t have cameras because they do have people there.
HAINES: January 6th and talk about the security problems they had, the breaches, the warnings, and you look at the classified documents again people in both parties having them. There's some stuff that needs to be tightened up asap.
NAVARRO: You know like when your kids, you know those cubbies where you put shoes, that's what these cubbies look like. Right? They're tiny, these cubbies. So, if you're taking your phone out of your pocket, not that I've brought anything into the White House that I wouldn't like seen, but if you're taking your -- and you put it in the cubby there's no way –
[Crosstalk]
HAINES: But if they know it’s cubby 50. If they have a video, whoever is in cubby 50.
BEHAR: They don't have a video.
HAINES: It's a blind spot of the camera.
HOSTIN: I bet they'll have one now.
HAINES: But if they know the cubby and they have cameras on there, you’d know who was in that locker.
