‘Celebrities On Our Side Are Smart’: Moore Begs Dems Run Oprah in 2020
After bashing Trump adviser Stephen Miller as a racist for defending immigration reform, then bashing the state of Missouri for their recently passed “racist” law that protects businesses from unfounded lawsuits, the View crew had still more ill-informed hot takes to give on Thursday’s show.

Shocked Samantha Bee Discovers that Kurds Love Trump
A quick check of the Newsbusters archives reveals that Samantha Bee is one of the more notorious Trump haters in the media.
