Absurd: ‘View’ Hosts Say Smollett’s Fake Hate Crime ‘Made Sense’ ‘Believable’

You think that the hosts are a bit too nice for their own good? The View can’t get any more divorced from reality, they do. On today’s program, the liberal hosts supported Democrats and media for their passionate defense of Jussie Slolett’s fake hate crimes story. However, this was soon dispelled in 2019. Yesterday, Trump supporters were accused of attacking Trump in Chicago’s middle of the night. The actor was charged with lying to police and for staging the crime. The liberal hosts, however, were not indicted. The View were shocked by the news because Smollett’s bizarre story was realistic and “made sense” to their Trump-deranged minds.

Friday co-host Ana Navarro was saddened by the news because she argued, the actor’s story was so ”believable.”

“Look, I think — when it first happenedAlthough it is impossible for anyone to believe that the hoax could exist, I find it plausible that many believed it. that there could be hate crimes because there are hate crimes against minorities and against LGBTQ,” she began, before urging real victims of hate crimes to not let this deter them from making them public.

Sara Haines was only host who called out politicians and media for their rush to share and support Smollett’s story as soon as it came out. 

“The part that jumped out at me the most about this story though was the rush of leaders across this country to do the right thing on Twitter and make sure they spoke up immediately in defense before knowing everything. We had the president,” Behar had her cut off before she got started.

Haines, being the only person with a ounce of commonsense, was beaten by her co-hosts.

Behar supported the media and Democrats who bought the story. “That made complete sense. That’s why,” But she insists. But Haines pushed back, saying that rushing to judgement on social media wasn’t wise:

It’s true, however, that you must approach any event with the right information. All of the participants reacted quickly and impulsively to this tweet. I just think it’s a reminder that you can’t dial that back in, so if a narrative goes in and you endorse it, when things come out–” she argued.

She was pushed by her hosts again. 

“Sarah, we’re living in a period where it wasn’t unimaginable that a black LGBTQ  person could get beat up — and I think that’s what people reacted to,” Ana Navarro huffed.

Navarro continued to complain about the conservatives who use Twitter, pointing out that Democrats immediately made statements supporting Smollett. She made a garbage analogy saying Republican politicians who took photos with Josh Duggar, when he worked for the Family Research Council, years before allegations of molestation and child pornography came out, were in the same boat as the Democrats who voiced support for Smollett:

You know what let me say this– Sunny I’m sorry I’m cutting into your time– I saw yesterday a lot of reaction, you know, on that point on Twitter of people wanting to own the liberals who had reacted in support of Jussie Smollett. You know what?Yesterday, Josh Duggar was also found guilty of child pornography. Guess what? Photos of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Mike Huckabee are all available online. [applause] So here’s the bottom line. It’s not their fault, that Josh Duggar was a pornographer and they didn’t know. And it’s not you know, Kamala Harris’s fault or Joe Biden’s fault, or Cory Booker’s fault, or anybody’s fault that their natural reaction was to empathize with somebody that we all at first thought was the victim of a hate crime.

But her analogy doesn’t even make sense, as Duggar wasn’t accusing others of a hate crime against him before the truth came out, as in Smollett’s case. There is no reason to believe that it is wrong to sympathize or support an alleged victim. Smollett’s story, however, was far from real. It was clearly an attempt to paint Trump supporters as bigots and biased media believed it.

Sunny Hostin also defends Democrats for purchasing the story and not verifying.

“I was going to say exactly that, we want victims of hate crimes and any crime to be believed. And so I think in a sense that was a good thing they came out and said we believe you,” Sie argued.

ANA NAVARRO:  Look, I think — when it first happenedIt was impossible to imagine that this could have been a hoax. And, frankly, it seemed plausible for many people.Hate crimes can exist because hate crimes are committed against LGBTQ people and minorities. This message should be clear to everyone. It should not stop victims of actual hate crimes reporting the incident. Jussie Mollett would do well to take responsibility. It would be a good idea to pay the city of Chicago all their time and effort spent on this false accusation. A little humility and repentance. You know that sentencing will be coming, and you can tell he is sticking with the story when there’s a replica of the check his brothers paid to beat him. 

…

SARA HAINES: …I think the problem that bothers me here with this story, the biggest thing for a victim of any abuse or hate crime is that they won’t be believed. Stories like these can cause damage by planting small seeds that may make it difficult for people to believe what happens. What struck me most in this story was, however, the rush by leaders to tweet right and defend their country before everyone else. The president was there. 

Enjoy Joy in Hara:It made perfect sense. That’s why.

HAINES – Yes. However, when approaching any event, you must provide the necessary information. The majority of people involved in the incident reacted swiftly and impulsively via Twitter. It’s just a reminder to you that it is impossible to dial back that. So if you support a story, you should be ready for it when it comes out. 

NAVARRO: Sarah, we’re living in a period where it wasn’t unimaginable that a black LGBTQ  person could get beat up — and I think that’s what people reacted to.

HAINES: It happened because I understand why. I think it’s important– 

NAVARRO: You know what let me say this– Sunny I’m sorry I’m cutting into your time– I saw yesterday a lot of reaction, you know, on that point on Twitter of people wanting to own the liberals who had reacted in support of Jussie Smollett. You know what?Yesterday, Josh Duggar was also found guilty of child pornography. Guess what? Photos of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Mike Huckabee are all available online. [applause] So here’s the bottom line. It’s not their fault, that Josh Duggar was a pornographer and they didn’t know. And it’s not you know, Kamala Harris’s fault or Joe Biden’s fault, or Cory Booker’s fault, or anybody’s fault that their natural reaction was to empathize with somebody that we all at first thought was the victim of a hate crime.

BEHAR: It’s Twitter’s fault anyway. It’s Twitter.

[cross-talk]

HOSTIN : I had intended to state exactly the same thing. We believe victims of hate crime and other crimes. So I believe that it was good for them to come out and say we believe you.

My hope is for some repentance, as sentencing will be coming up. We know that the sentence could see him spending as long as three years prison. If drugs were involved. Other things may have been involved. When he appears before the judge, I would like him to show complete repentance and um penance. He could say, “Maybe I was high on drugs. I took the wrong decision here.” I regret not doing things the right way, so I’m sorry. 

BEHAR: It is possible. It is possible he will get there.

HOSTIN: That would be great. HOSTIN: If he does, I believe there will be forgiveness. We have a country. 

BEHAR: Also for the Duggar? 

HOSTIN: Well–

NAVARRO: Child pornographer 

BEHAR: This is the question. 

NAVARRO, I think it is more probable to forgive somebody who made a huge hoax and injured himself than someone who was involved in child pornography trafficking. 

BEHAR: Yes, that’s right.
