A couple of members of the Cackling Coven known as The View flaunted their elitism during Mondays show as the ABC News hosts boasted about attending Washington, D.C. Christmas parties hosted by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Sunny Hosting showed off pictures of her in the White House while fake Republican Ana Navarro gushed about dancing the night away with the failed presidential candidate.
They were so excited about attending the White House Christmas party; one could easily think they were handing out pardons as party favors.
Teed up to discuss how awesome their weekend adventures were by moderator Whoopi Goldberg, Hostin bragged that she “went to D.C. for the President's holiday party. And it was so wonderful.”
Hostin went on to recount how she spent the last couple weekends bouncing around the country to attend Biden’s party, Harris’s party, and the wedding of a Hollywood actress:
It was so wonderful. I took my best friend, Regina, because Manny operates on Fridays and he was running really late. And so, I was able to get my best friend in because she also works for the government so she has security clearance so it was easy! And then I got up early the next morning and flew to Yvette Nicole Brown's wedding in L.A. And Manny joined me there, and she seemed so happy. It was so amazing.
“And then the weekend before, I was at Kamala Harris -- I was at the Vice President's holiday party. So -- And that was wonderful as well,” she recalled.
For Navarro’s part, he noted that she and Hostin were on the same Amtrak train to D.C. “I was going to Kamala Harris' black tie event. She does a black tie for her close friends and family, and people she's known for decades,” she gloated.
Navarro wanted people to know that Harris was “good” despite the embarrassing loss to President-elect Trump. “There's no phones allowed because she lets her hair down. We all let our hair down. She danced until way past midnight, every song. Tim Walz was there. She's good, guys. She's good,” she said.
She followed up by giving a rundown of all the other Christmas parties she “dragged” her “old ass” to, and how it was important she attend the one at the White House since she likely would not get one for a long time:
And then I dragged my old ass up at the wee hours and flew back to Miami because I had to host a family pre-Christmas celebration for Al and his grandkids and his kids. So, that went on until the wee hours. Then I dragged my old ass back to Washington for the White House Christmas Party because you know there's, like, 50 of them. Last year, but it's the last one I'm going to for a long time. So, I was going to go. And then I dragged my old ass here.
“That's a lot of old ass dragging,” Goldberg quipped.
Hostin and Navarro weren’t the only ones in the room who got an invite to the White House Christmas Party. Executive producer Brian Teta was finally graced with an invite:
GOLDBERG: So Brian, were you at any of this? Did you do any of this?
HOSTIN: Yes, he was!
TETA: I went to the White House Christmas Party on Friday night, which was really cool and got to make my wife. I was excited.
NAVARRO: This is a really big deal because you’ve been wanting to go for years.
TETA: Yes.
HOSTIN: I was hanging out with Brian.
TETA: That's right!
Navarro also told an embarrassing story about how Teta was on the same train as Hostin and her. She went to Teta to fix her laptop and passed Hostin, who she said was passed out after a couple glasses of wine.
