According to ABC’s The View, there was no good reason for former President Trump to tell Christians to vote for him and openly suggested that courting them with policies meant doom for the country. They kicked off their Monday doom session by clutching their pearls and predicting the worst outcomes for America if Christians supported Trump en masse. They also decried the idea that parents with children should pay less in taxes.
They were up in arms because Trump made this statement to a crowd at a recent campaign event:
I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote, and again, Christians, get out and vote! Just this time! You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years! You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.
“What was he talking about? Is he saying, no one ever has to vote after they vote for him? What is he -- help me. What is going on?” huffed moderator Whoopi Goldberg.
Of course, faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin insisted – without evidence – that Trump’s comment had the worst intentions:
FARAH GRIFFIN: There's two interpretations. He's either saying, ‘you won't have to vote again because I'm going to say there and there's not going to be another election.’ That's one interpretation. The other is, ‘Dear Christians, I'm going to remake this nation in such a way that it will embrace, you know, the laws will reflect your beliefs and you won't need to vote because it's taken care of.’ Either, I think, should be concerning.
(…)
He's talking about changing things so much that you wouldn't need to vote again in the future.
“Very scary, both of them,” added pretend moderate Sara Haines. “It was very ominous and scary the way he said it. But the explanation being possibly, ‘Don't worry, we'll get everything in line for the Christians,’ that's Project 2025. So, either way, you're saying something pretty scary.”
While staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) has repeatedly suggested that black voters are a monolith who must vote Democrat (and claims black Republicans don’t actually exist), Farah Griffin took Issue with the idea that Trump was the Christian candidate:
Well, he also puts us all in a box that all of us as Christians see things the same way and want the same policies. Which, some of the most prominent like Russell Moore, it’s been a deep Donald Trump critic since 2016. There are plenty of Christians who don't want Donald Trump in the White House.
“Does he think that Christians aren't going to notice, like, if he remakes the world, that they're not going to notice he's not living in the world he's remade?” Goldberg declared.
Fake Republican Ana Navarro didn’t want anything to do with that. Instead, she wanted it to be known that she left the Cult of Biden for “my girl Kamala.”
“And I'm going to call her ‘my girl, Kamala’ because I have I have loved that woman since hello,” she proclaimed. “And I have been saying for the longest time that she's underestimated and the narratives that were created of her were just not accurate. And I think people are getting to see that. When she was the number two, she acted like the number two, but baby, now she's a number one, and she is slaying, killing it.”
Despite the fact that The View had praised President Biden for supposedly cutting child poverty in half with a child-tac credit, Navarro suggested it was horrific for Senator and Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance to say parents with children should pay less in taxes: “He has said in more than -- more than once that he thinks…people with children must be rewarded…He wants people with children to pay less taxes.”
Without evidence, she claimed Vance wanted people without kids “punished” and “wants people with children to have more voting rights.” She also never explained what “more voting rights” even meant.

FMR. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote, and again, Christians, get out and vote! Just this time! You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years! You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Okay. Let's talk about what that was. She made sense. What was he talking about? Is he saying, no one ever has to vote after they vote for him? What is he -- help me. What is going on?
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: There's two interpretations. He's either saying, ‘you won't have to vote again because I'm going to say there and there's not going to be another election.’ That's one interpretation. The other is, ‘Dear Christians, I'm going to remake this nation in such a way that it will embrace, you know, the laws will reflect your beliefs and you won't need to vote because it's taken care of.’
Either, I think, should be concerning.
SARA HAINES: Very scary, both of them.
FARAH GRIFFIN: He's talking about changing things so much that you wouldn't need to vote again in the future.
GOLDBERG: Does he think that Christians aren't going to notice, like, if he remakes the world, that they're not going to notice he's not living in the world he's remade?
FARAH GRIFFIN: [Laughter] Right. Well, he also puts us all in a box that all of us as Christians see things the same way and want the same policies. Which, some of the most prominent like Russell Moore, it’s been a deep Donald Trump critic since 2016. There are plenty of Christians who don't want Donald Trump in the White House.
SARA HAINES: Well, and if you have to explain it – If you have to explain, like, how many times have we all watched it and said, ‘Well, they're saying this? What do you think he meant?’ You need to rewrite whatever's going on or, like, get a script. One of the two because that didn't make sense. It was very ominous and scary the way he said it. But the explanation being possibly, ‘Don't worry, we'll get everything in line for the Christians,’ that's Project 2025. So, either way, you're saying something pretty scary.
GOLDBERG: Yeah.
ANA NAVARRO: Well, I want to talk about my girl, Kamala! And I'm going to call her ‘my girl, Kamala’ because I have I have loved that woman since hello. And I have been saying for the longest time that she's underestimated and the narratives that were created of her were just not accurate. And I think people are getting to see that. When she was the number two, she acted like the number two, but baby, now she's a number one, and she is slaying, killing it.

NAVARRO: He has said in more than -- more than once that he [Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH)] thinks people without children, that that's bad and must be punished, and people with children must be rewarded. He wants people with children to have more voting rights. He wants people with children to pay less taxes.
