While ABC’s The View was over the moon for the New York Knickerbockers sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers, a member of a different New York team was the focus of their hatred. During Tuesday’s episode, The View suggested Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart should wear “extra padding” when he plays or practices because other players were doing to try to injure him. His offense that warranted their wants for harm? He supported President Trump and introduced him at an event; for which they claimed Dart was a “racist” and attacked the black community.

Well, surely Dart said something truly offensive to get that kind of reaction from the Cackling Coven. Well, according to the soundbite The View shared, all he said was this: “What an honor, want a privilege it is to be here. And without further ado, I’m grateful, I'm honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.”

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemed confused about why they were even talking about it. “But some people were not happy with Dart's open political endorsement?” she questioned what reading the teleprompter. “I mean, isn't he entitled to his thing [opinion]?”

Behar immediately jumped in to suggest that Dart’s support for Trump showed that he met “the definition of stupidity and racist”:

BEHAR: For somebody to back a guy like Trump whose discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination -

SUNNY HOSTIN: In the 70s.

BEHAR: In the '70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes. When he's on a team that is 55 percent - 60 percent the NFL is that many people -- that much percentage of black people - blacka, that that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion.

 

 

Pretend independent Sara Haines argued that Dart should have kept his opinion to himself as if it was majorly problematic, citing “that foxhole mentality of we're out there, we’re paying together.” She wanted “consequences” because he’s “the quarterback, which is a central player on that field.”

Haines would go on to suggest that Dart’s support for Trump meant that he was for calling black people “apes” and “complete[ly] disenfranchise” black voters. “To have thought about how that might feel to your team, the ones that are on the field with you,” she scolded him.

Behar chimed in again to ominously warn Dart that “Maybe he needs a little extra padding.”

 

 

An obvious threat that either his teammates were going to intentionally injure him in practice or players from another team were going to target him, all as punishment for the crime of wrongthink.

Two weeks ago, The View demanded celebrities push their political opinions down their fans’ throats. Of course, they were demanding that celebrities bash Trump.

“He just alienated a lot of Democrats with this choice. I think the easiest thing is like weigh the consequences if you’re going to do it and don't complain on the other side if people aren’t happy,” faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin chided, falsely claiming Dart complained about the reaction.

Building off of what Farah Griffin said, Haines assumed that Dart’s offensive linemen were all Democrats and hinted that they were going to let opponents through to hurt him. “Well, and you need your linemen to protect you,” she warned Dart.

 

 

Taking one of the most asinine positions, chronically aggrieved co-host Sunny Hostin claimed Dart’s support for Trump was a direct attack on “the black community” and “personal” attack against her:

I think, when you know the history of this President and know the biases of this President, for a certain community, the black community, for me, this feels personal. I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong, and you support that, that tells me two things, either, one, you a agree with his politics and you agree with his biases or you can be adjacent to it, stomach in it - stomach it and that means you are complicit, in my view.

Goldberg jumped in near the end of the segment to suggest Dart was too young and dumb to know any better and suggests schools teach kids which political side to endorse. “All kinds of folks but we have to remember that his right to learn about consequences, because I think he's very young and maybe doesn't realize that are consequences to these things,” she chided.

 

 

She also floated the idea that young adults should be taught which political side was okay to endorse. "And maybe that's what, you know, maybe it's not just how to take care of your money they should be teaching folks coming out of school but what consequences are and what these kinds of things mean," she said.

This proved, once again, The View wasn’t just a name. It was how the show operated; no opposing political views were tolerated. You will have the same opinion or they’ll support you getting hurt for it.

JAXSON DART: What an honor, want a privilege it is to be here. And without further ado, I’m grateful, I'm honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.

(…)

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I don't know what all that was. [Reading teleprompter] But some people were not happy with Dart's open political endorsement?

Isn't he entitled to his --

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: It's America.

GOLDBERG: I mean, isn't he entitled to his thing?

JOY BEHAR: For somebody to back a guy like Trump whose discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination -

SUNNY HOSTIN: In the 70s.

BEHAR: In the '70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes. When he's on a team that is 55 percent - 60 percent the NFL is that many people -- that much percentage of black people - blacka that that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion.

SARA HAINES: The people on the field having been on teams you know the whole point is ‘we're in this together,’ and it's kind of got that foxhole mentality of we're out there, we’re paying together. To not - even if that is what you believe - I let anyone - that's the beauty of America, it's the most liberal belief, that we can have our own belief. I get that, but there would be consequences, you're the quarterback, which is a central player on that field.

HOSTIN: The leader.

HAINES: A leader and the majority -- it's actually 75 percent of the New York Giants and NFL as a whole are black or nonwhite.

GOLDBERG: Yeah.

HAINES: To not think about the most recent offenses from the ape video to these voting right things which even people who aren't that dialed in are recognizing, ‘wait are you now just going to marginalize and complete disenfranchise.’ To have thought about how that might feel to your team, the ones that are on the field with you. I would have handled it differently.

BEHAR: Maybe he needs a little extra padding.

(…)

11:20:01 a.m. Eastern

FARAH GRIFFIN: He just alienated a lot of Democrats with this choice. I think the easiest thing is like weigh the consequences if you’re going to do it and don't complain on the other side if people aren’t happy.

HAINES: Well, and you need your linemen to protect you.

HOSTIN: Yeah, you sure do need your offensive line to protect you.

But the thing is this was a choice and it was a political one, and, you know, these -- We're just not in normal times anymore, and so we know that when there have been abnormal times like during the Civil Rights Movement, you had athletes speak up. You had someone like Muhammad Ali who took a stand against the Vietnam War. And then you had Juan Carlos who took a stand against what has happening here in the U.S.

I think, when you know the history of this President and know the biases of this President, for a certain community, the black community, for me, this feels personal. I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong, and you support that, that tells me two things, either, one, you a agree with his politics and you agree with his biases or you can be adjacent to it, stomach in it - stomach it and that means you are complicit, in my view.

GOLDBERG: Yeah!

There's a whole Congress! There's a whole Congress! All kinds of folks but we have to remember that his right to learn about consequences, because I think he's very young and maybe doesn't realize that are consequences to these things. You know, he's entitled but this book [holds up a pocket Constitution] says if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you. Okay? If I got free speech, you got free speech. I don't have to like your speech. I don't have to like anything you say.

HOSTIN: And fans, like Alyssa says, fans, supporters, they can respond in kind.

GOLDBERG: That’s right. And maybe that's what, you know, maybe it's not just how to take care of your money they should be teaching folks coming out of school but what consequences are and what these kinds of things mean.

So, you know, we all live and learn. Don't we, though? We live and learn. We'll be right back.
