In a publicity stunt, some argue was designed to generate outrage this week, the Library of Congress allowed degenerate singer Lizzo to parade around half naked on stage while twerking and playing former President James Madison’s crystal flute. On Friday, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View looked on with glee as they mocked some conservatives for getting upset and argued that the disgusting display was retribution against Madison because he owned slaves.
Getting into the segment, co-host Joy Behar suggested conservatives were more interested in the flute than helping people recover from Hurricane Ian and stemming inflation. “While the country deals with hurricanes, inflation, and fight for abortion rights, some conservatives are focusing their rage on Lizzo. Why? They're annoyed that she's playing a crystal flute, a flute,” she chided (failing to mention President Biden was at a fundraiser while the storm killed people).
“These Trumpers need to have the same reverence for the Constitution as they do for the flute,” she whined following a video of Lizzo’s performance.
The hypocrisy in that statement was so thick that it ran like syrup. The View didn’t care about revering the Constitution when they gave a platform to leftist extremist Elie Mystal to call it “trash” and cheer. They also defended 2016 election denialism and decried the Electoral College. And they’ve also called for packing the Supreme Court.
“No. I was just going to say, if you have the time to be outraged by this, you probably need a hobby. I would suggest the flute,” proclaimed faux “conservative” Alyssa Farah Griffin, thinking she was being witty.
Of course, leave it up to “Sunny” Fake Name Hostin to find racism in the opposition to degenerate behavior with a priceless artifact of American history:
I think part of it that makes history so fantastic is that now we have the first African American woman whose -- her name is Carla Hayden. She's the first African American and first woman to lead the Library of Congress. She invited Lizzo to come and do this, and that makes, I think, history of course. And then you have some people on the right, they said that “the Library of Congress really took out a 200-year-old flute that belonged to James Madison just so Lizzo could twerk with it. They degrade our history.”
Hostin went on to suggest Lizzo’s performance was justice, 200 years in the making. “Well, James Madison owned a hundred slaves. That's a degradation of history, right? And he still became the president. So, I think this is kind of a full-circle moment for American history,” she snarked.
“Well, how powerful to see the imagery then?” Sara Haines agreed. “This is the promise of America. You have the, I guess, a slave's ancestor playing the 200-year flute by someone who was a slave master,” Hostin reiterated.
The only positive thing said about the former President came from Behar, who noted: “James Madison also said, ‘despotism can only exist in darkness.’ So, he had some good points.”
This praise for a disgusting performance was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from L’Oréal and the ASPCA. Their contact information is linked.

Well, James Madison owned a hundred slaves. That's a degradation of history, right? And he still became the president. So, I think this is kind of a full circle moment for American history.
BEHAR: James Madison also said, “despotism can only exist in darkness.”
HOSTIN: Yeah.
BEHAR: So, he had some good points.
HOSTIN: Except for the 100 enslaved people that he inherited from his father.
BEHAR: Well, that was one of his bad points.
SARA HAINES: Well, how powerful to see the imagery then? What people mistook there is, you’ve got this—
HOSTIN: This is the promise of America. You have the, I guess, a slave's ancestor playing the 200-year flute by someone who was a slave master.
