With President Trump set to deal with a Joint Session of Congress later Tuesday evening, the loony liberal women of ABC Information’s The View racked their brains for methods their fellow Democrats may protest, make a scene, and disrupt the occasion. Their concepts ranged from not displaying as much as strolling out to at least one insane suggestion that the Democrats “get butt bare and dance round” the ground.
It was moderator Whoopi Goldberg who kicked off their dialog by instantly diving into degeneracy. “What ought to they do? Ought to they sit and pay attention? Ought to they get butt bare and dance round?” the deranged comic questioned.
Co-host Pleasure Behar and fake conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin teamed as much as tone down Goldberg’s suggestion to one thing a tad extra cheap. They reduce out the dancing:
BEHAR: I believe they need to stroll out en masse.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Bare or clothed?
BEHAR: Bare. Bare could be good.
GOLDBERG: Bare could possibly be attention-grabbing.
Behar went on to marvel if there was going to be a “chortle monitor” used throughout Trump’s handle.
For her extra severe suggestion, Behar wished Democrats to simply stroll out on Trump and praised former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) infantile tantrum:
I believe they need to stroll out. I believe {that a} image is price a thousand phrases. I refer you again to Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union. We nonetheless do not forget that. That was a second of protest.
“He is over the sting,” Behar proclaimed as her rhetoric grew ominous. “I believe that we handed the purpose of no return with him, and we actually want to face as much as him massive time.”
Sunny Hostin adopted up by proclaiming, with out proof, that since “day one” of Trump’s second time period we’ve seen him turn into “a dictator” and witnessed “the rise of fascism.”
Thus, her proposal for the Democratic “opposition social gathering” protest was for them to simply not present up:
I truly do not assume they need to present up in any respect…I believe the report will present that the room was half empty, and that the Democrats fought him, that the Democratic Get together is definitely an opposition social gathering at this level, not a resistance social gathering.
I do not just like the optics of strolling out just because that type of appears to me to get into the Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert kind of histrionics. And I believe it might be significantly better to easily deny him the viewers that he craves so very a lot, and on the similar time displaying that they’re the opposition social gathering.
Fake impartial Sara Haines had a extra rational concept: attend however don’t react. “I disagree with each of you,” she stated. “I believe their job is to point out up and to pay attention, and I believe there is a power in optics in that too. We’re not going anyplace. We got here right here. We’re sitting right here. We’re doing our job.”
“Do not be a distraction to the madness that comes within the phrases of the evening, which means do not get in his manner,” she argued.
Farah Griffin agreed with Haines. “Now, I agree with Sara, you have to present up,” she advised the others. “Each Democrat is represents individuals who voted for Trump. So, they should hearken to what he is saying and be ready to counter. However you may’t counter somebody for those who’re not even listening to what they’re saying.”

FARAH GRIFFIN: Now, I agree with Sara, you have to present up. I believe how they do – I am all for shows of some sort of protest, in the event that they’re respectful and a point of decorum. What I am actually a little bit bit extra curious to see is there a cohesive pushback with Democrats. As a result of we’ve learn they may wave empty egg containers, another person may deliver a federal fired employee, somebody may put on black. However when it is a scatter-shot response like that it would not break by on this surroundings.
BEHAR: Not if it’s a variety of them.
