Election denialism enjoys broad support on ABC’s The View. According to the cackling coven on Thursday, the only way the power-hungry monsters of the GOP win any election was by “cheating,” “gerrymandering,” and trying to “change the rules.” Of course, they claimed all this without providing a shred of evidence and the faux conservative just nodded along. They even shared a laugh over some GOP voters changing their minds on climate change after their homes got destroyed.
Following a liberal getting elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, co-host Joy Behar announced the national demise of the Republican Party. “They said it all but this is the beginning of the end of the Republican Party, as I see it. I don't see they're going to win elections anymore in this country,” she proclaimed.
Citing Gen Z coming out in support of Democrats, Behar added that, “These kids were born in 1997, not 1897, which is where the Republican Party is going.”
Next came the misinformation about the GOP stealing elections. “The only way the Republican Party fights against this is to raise the voting age, stop people from voting, all they do is tricks! Tricks!” Behar shouted.
NewsBusters busted their BIG LIE about Republicans supposedly raising the voting age when The View tried to float it last November.
Racist co-host Sunny Hostin built off of Behar by bloviating about how the GOP “scares [her] more than anything. Because, I mean, it's clear that the Republican Party is the party of dinosaurs.”
Hostin, who has repeatedly demanded reparations and has falsely claimed the GOP was taking voting rights way, then declared that Republicans “don't have any proposals, they don’t a platform” but what they did have was “grievance politics” and “scaring people.”
Cranking up her scare tactics, Hostin busted out the lies about the GOP “cheating” to win elections:
What I worry about is they still want power. And when you still want power, the only way you get it when you don't have a platform is by cheating. And so, that's when you see the gerrymandering, that’s when you see people on college campuses being prevented from using their college I.D. to vote. I mean, they are actually attacking young voters rather than trying to recruit young voters.
“And rather than changing the minds, or addressing like you said Alyssa, changing the policies to attract those young voters, they're going to change the rules of those young voters voting,” consistently ignorant co-host Sara Haines proclaimed.
Behar, Haines, and Hostin took part in a little tag-team action to smear Republicans with lies about not having any policy proposals whatsoever:
BEHAR: They don't have any policies.
HOSTIN: To prevent them to vote.
BEHAR: But they don't have any policies. They don’t have any plans.
HAINES: But I have hope that there are people that are young in that party that could do something.
And what did the so-called “conservative” co-host do during all of this? Well, Alyssa Farah Griffin just nodded along. “The problem is that the people who are offering the solutions aren’t the people that get the air time. And in the Trump era of the GOP, they’re not the people who get power,” she joined them in whining.
As they were nearing the end of the segment, co-host Whoopi Goldberg (and the rest of the cast, including Farah Griffin) got a good laugh at the expense of Republicans losing their homes to natural disasters. “I’ve noticed in the last – I don’t know – seven months, there hasn’t been much denying of climate change going on … it used to be ‘I don't believe it, it's never happening, never!’ And now, they’re like, ‘Yeah, I think my house just got blown down,’” she chuckled.
The View’s misinformation about Republican electoral strategy was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Prevagen and Hulu. Their contact information is linked.

JOY BEHAR: They said it all but this is the beginning of the end of the Republican Party, as I see it. I don't see they're going to win elections anymore in this country. Not national elections. They’re on the wrong side.
These kids were born in 1997, not 1897, which is where the Republican Party is going. And they’re like, Whoa, hold up, I don't want to get killed in school. I don’t want to be in the middle of another tornado or whatever the hell is going on in our country. All I hear about is tornados all the time. Is that climate change? Probably.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yes. It is part of climate change.
SARA HAINES: Yes.
BEHAR: And, you know, they don't want it. They want their abortion rights, just in case. They want it.
HOSTIN: I think women want reproductive rights.
BEHAR: The only way the Republican Party fights against this is to raise the voting age, stop people from voting, all they do is tricks! Tricks!
SUNNY HOSTIN: That's what scares me more than anything. Because, I mean, it's clear that the Republican Party is the party of dinosaurs. Right? 1897. It's clear they don't have any proposals, they don’t a platform, right now. It’s just a grievance politics, it’s just scaring people.
What I worry about is they still want power. And when you still want power, the only way you get it when you don't have a platform is by cheating. And so, that's when you see the gerrymandering, that’s when you see people on college campuses being prevented from using their college I.D. to vote. I mean, they are actually attacking young voters rather than trying to recruit young voters.
HAINES: And rather than changing the minds, or addressing like you said Alyssa, changing the policies to attract those young voters, they're going to change the rules of those young voters voting.
BEHAR: They don't have any policies.
HOSTIN: To prevent them to vote.
BEHAR: But they don't have any policies. They don’t have any plans.
HAINES: But I have hope that there are people that are young in that party that could do something.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: The problem is that the people who are offering the solutions aren’t the people that get the air time. And in the Trump era of the GOP, they’re not the people who get power.
BEHAR: He’s pretty much destroyed this country.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: The beauty of what you’re saying is the message is translating in voter turnout. And so you – Some of these people, we don't even know about because we haven’t even heard about them. But the people who need-to-know know. And they are getting out and they’re changing. And the idea –
I’ve noticed in the last – I don’t know – seven months, there hasn’t been much denying of climate change going on. You haven't heard -- it used to be "I don't believe it, it's never happening, never!" And now, they’re like, "Yeah, I think my house just got blown down."
[Laughter]
For the fourth or fifth time because of another – you know, there's been so much evidence saying something is wrong. You know?
