Since ABC’s The View was in between seasons, the Cackling Coven didn’t have a televised outlet to spew their gooey praise for Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick for running mate. Since their vanity couldn’t be satiated by a camera, they had to settle for posting their hot takes lauding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) on X.
Fake Republican Ana Navarro admitted she knew next to nothing about Walz but pledged her undying loyalty to the new Democratic Party ticket anyway. “I don’t know much about #TimWalz. As long as he hasn’t shot a puppy, stabbed a dead bear cub or attacked cat owners, and there are no rumors about him and a porn star or furniture, I’m good with him,” she proclaimed.

Navarro would be well served to check her cultish behavior. Walz was on record praising the kind of socialism she fled from when she immigrated from Nicaragua. “One person’s socialism is another person's neighborliness,” he touted.
He also showed how little he cared about border security when he suggested that he would invest in a company that would make ladders taller than Trump’s border wall.
Friday moderator Joy Behar had arguably the most cringe take. “These two will bring smarts and fun back. Enough with the non laughing [sic], angry, crowd,” she boasted, accompanied with grainy photos of both Harris and Walz.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg had deactivated her account long ago, Sara Haines hadn’t been active since the beginning of the year, and Sunny Hostin had only posted about a dog rescue group as of publication.
As for faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin, she was the only one to provide a kind of rolling reaction to the pick. In a now-deleted post, her initial take announced her thoughts with one word: “Disappointing.” Her second response was to call it “An extraordinary missed opportunity” that Harris didn’t go with Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
“The progressive mob came for Josh Shapiro & a lot of it was gross & simply thinly veiled antisemitism,” she lamented. “But he has a bright future ahead because the VAST majority of this country supports Israel, stands w/our Jewish friends, & would love to see a Jewish VP &or POTUS someday.”
In another post, she added: “The mini focus groups of my TL: progressives are cheering Walz, moderates & disillusioned R’s are disappointed.”
Over time, she started posting some good things about Walz in a pros and cons list:
Pros of Tim Walz:
— Alyssa Farah Griffin (@Alyssafarah) August 6, 2024
-strong midwestern messenger.
-executive experience as a governor
-likely an effective surrogate in critical swing states of MI & WI
-flipped a swing seat in Congress
Cons:
-seen as very progressive on guns & Gaza
-not viewed as a moderating force on the…
“Tim Waltz served in the Army National Guard. He’ll debate JD Vance who served in the Marines,” she noted. “Last cycle no one on the ticket served in the military. This time there are veterans on the bottom of both tickets.”
