‘The View,’ Chelsea Clinton Celebrate How Hillary ‘Took on Fox News’

For their post-State of the Union show, on Wednesday, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View was joined by Democratic Party princess Chelsea Clinton, who was treated like royalty as they all gushed over her opinions about the address, lawsuits against former President Trump, and how her mother, Hillary Clinton “took on Fox News” after they reported on how her campaign spied on Trump.

“You know, it was wonderful for me to see that your mother recently took on the former twice impeached disgraced president for spreading lies about her, and accusing her of spying on his campaign which we all know is false, well, most of us know,” co-host Sunny Hostin boasted, spreading falsehoods.

Clinton immediately touted how her mother “also took on Fox News” by suggesting their coverage of Special Counsel John Durham’s filings was done with “actual malice.” “Yes, she did! It was amazing! Because I think that they’re certainly liable for something,” Hostin was a gushing.

Cast members urged Hillary last month to sue Fox News over its coverage of the Durham filings that were made against a candidate for her election. “Should Hillary finally take Fox to court,” Behar asked the group at the time.

“Actual malice is actually the standard for defamation if you are defaming a famous person, and she’s certainly is somebody that is famous in the public eye,” Hostin bragged in response. “So, it’s a very high standard but she’s telling them, ‘you’re actually reaching this legal standard.’ And I’m sure Fox’s lawyers were listening to that kind of thing.”

Keeping with the topic of targeting lawsuits at political opponents on Wednesday, Hostin bizarrely asked for Clinton’s take on two members of the New York City district attorney’s office resigning from the case targeting the Trump organization and DA Alvin Bragg expressing uncertainly about the case. “Do you think Trump will ever be held responsible civilly or criminally for his actions,”Hostin needed to know urgently.

Clinton really didn’t have any qualifications on the topic other than being from New York and her mother losing to Trump in an embarrassing and historic upset. But that didn’t stop her as she went on to praise Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James and her work going after Trump (Click “expand”):

CLINTON : You know what Alvin Bragg, DA is thinking? Sunny will have more informed opinions than I do. Tish James, our attorney general deserves my strong support. She has done a great job in dealing with criminal behavior and is acting non-partisanally.

HOSTIN: Yes.

CLINTON – She holds power to account. CLINTON: She is holding power accountable for Democrats that have been good to them and Republicans who are not. Her investigation is not just against former disgraced president Donald Trump but also his family members and organization.

“And I certainly very much look toward our attorney general here in New York State, Tish James to see kind of what she will continue to kind of push forward, and highlight,” she added.

And as they were switching topics, Hostin just wanted to reiterate that she’s “so glad your mom took on Fox News.”

This wasn’t the only ridiculous interaction they had. Earlier in the show, Hostin invited Clinton to fawn for Biden’s State of the Union address. “[H]e’s so proud to be an American,” Clinton claimed. “And he wants what’s best for our country. After the last administration, that same feeling of, “Oh, God” was there. Thank you. Thank you for that pride.” 

Gag.

Charmin and Carvana sponsored the Clintons’ gag. The following links provide their contact information.

SUNNY HOSTIN – What did you think of the speech?

CHELSEA CLINTON: Sunny gave the speech and I was unable to stay up until the end of the night to view the replies.

(…)

CLINTON – It can be hard for three young children to wake up in the early mornings and stay awake until 10:30. Sunny is proud to be American, which is my primary feeling, and it’s what I was watching in New York City.

HOSTIN: Yeah. Yeah.

CLINTON : He is determined to make our country great.

HOSTIN: Yeah.

CLINTON: After the previous administration, that same feeling of, like, God. Thank you. That pride is greatly appreciated.

JOY BEHAR says yes. The same thing was being said by us. It felt palpable.

MICHELE TAFOYA – President Biden defended the record. As we know, his approval rating is low. According to ABC/Washington PostEarly midterm vote favors Republicans. All of this, along with the data, inflation and numbers show that people are talking about crime as the reason they’re nervous. Are there any concerns about Democrats going into the midterms, or are they just plain wrong?

CLINTON : Michele my primary concern is for everyone to be able vote. Because I believe everyone should be allowed to vote, I hope Congress will pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and the child who is excited about turning 18 should all vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

And I am a Democrat.

HOSTIN: It was amazing to me that my mother took on the disgraced former president twice for spreading lies about her and accused her of spying for him. This is a charge most people know.

CLINTON: Fox News was also her target.

HOSTIN: Yes, she did! That was so sweet! You know, they are liable.

The Manhattan DA’s prone Trump case and his business practices led prosecutors abruptly resigned last week after Trump reportedly stated that he was not interested in the case and had doubts. Are you sure that Trump will be held criminally and civilly liable for any of his actions?

CLINTON: I don’t think DA Alvin Bragg knows what he is thinking. Sunny will have more informed opinions than I do. Tish James, our attorney general deserves my strong support. She has done a great job in dealing with criminal behavior and is acting non-partisanally.

HOSTIN: Yes.

CLINTON: She holds power accountable. CLINTON: She is holding power accountable for Democrats that have been good to them and Republicans who are not. Her investigation is not just against former disgraced president Donald Trump but also his family members and organization.

Therefore, I can understand how Alvin Bragg feels about trying to figure out what tea leaves have to say around his office. I also think it’s important to recognize that is one of only many investigations –

HOSTIN: Many.

CLINTON — These are ongoing. Tish James is the attorney general in New York State. I am looking forward to seeing what she does to continue pushing for, and highlighting.

HOSTIN: Yeah.

CLINTON: I believe there is more to this place.

HOSTIN : Your mom took Fox News on her mind.

CLINTON: I’m with you.
