The hosts of ABCs midday talk show The View devolved into chaos around the
table over the anti-Israel un-committed protest votes cast in Michigans
Democratic primary election on Tuesday.
The hosts were responding to the fact that just over 13% of Michigan
Democrats encouraged by anti-Israel elected officials like Rashida Tlaib
(D-MI) chose to leave their vote uncommitted rather than back President Joe
Biden over his support for Israel in the war against the terror group Hamas.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the discussion by saying that Democrats certainly
had the right to vote for another candidate, but she argued that those who
chose to leave their vote uncommitted were somehow trampling on the voting
rights of others.
Joy Behar parrots and gives credence to an INSANE conspiracy theory
from Democratic Congresswoman Debbie "Dingbat" Dingell (MI) who
claimed that Trump would have "nuked Gaza" if he was president.
"It's not that farfetched because he's crazy," she declared, without
evidence. pic.twitter.com/bz6F5aZaPw

Joy Behar agreed and then referenced a comment from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-
MI) who claimed that if former President Donald Trump were still in office,
he might have nuked Gaza.
Its not that farfetched because hes crazy, Behar insisted.
Co-host Sunny Hostin defended the anti-Israel protest vote, saying they were
using their votes to make a point and should be allowed to do that. Theyre
not sitting on the couch, she said. These are protest votes.
Goldberg pushed back, claiming that by not supporting Biden they were
effectively sitting on their couches.
WATCH:
"He got the message!" Sara Haines exclaims, suggesting that now's
the time to rally behind Biden.
She argues that what Biden is doing on Israel is saying "I know
what's right here and I'm going to stand true to that even in an
election year." "And I love him for that!" she says.

Co-host Sara Haines weighed in then, saying that she felt like the Biden
administration had probably gotten the message that Michigan voters were
trying to send. She went on to say that by supporting Israel even when it
wasnt popular with everyone in his own party, Biden was effectively saying,
I know whats right here and Im going to stand true to that even in an
election year.
Hostin pushed back again, saying that Biden risked losing the anti-Israel
vote in Michigan if he did not dial back his administrations support for
Israel in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks.
WATCH:
Hostin decries her fellow cast members bringing up THE FACT that
UNRWA had a hand in the October 7 terrorist attack. "So now the
U.S. is under attack?!" she whined.
She also lashed out at the US Ambassador to the UN for vetoing
ridiculous resolutions targeting Israel, not Hamas.

Hostin went on to predict a change in policy from the White House, noting
that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has indicated a push for a ceasefire
as early as next week. She went on to complain that the U.S. Ambassador to
the United Nations had been the deciding vote a veto on a resolution
demanding a ceasefire.
Haines pushed back, noting that the United Nations itself was under scrutiny
because members of the UNs Palestinian aid organization UNRWA had
participated in the October 7 attacks.
Now the UN is under attack? Hostin asked, rolling her eyes.
The UN has a long history of having more resolutions against Israel than
North Korea and Iran and some of the worst human rights abusers on the
planet, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out. Her point, the
ambassadors point is, Im not voting for a ceasefire until the hostages are
released.'
