Following Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s final day of testimony in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the coven of ABC’s The View not only defended Jackson’s record of giving light sentences to pedophiles and child porn offenders but also defending one of the pedophiles who had images and videos of kids as young as eight years old. Of course, this happened as the cast claimed they had the “receipts” and the Republicans were “gaslighting dude.”
Co-host Sara Haines whined that Democrats on the committee “could have done more to counter the misinformation” allegedly coming from Republicans. “[T]hey’re good at, like, sound bites and the broken record approach of gaslighting,”She laughed. “The misinformation about her defense of child pornography, like the people who offend with child pornography, it’s not true.”
According to her, Jackson’s records going light on pedophiles and child porn offenders “falls within the guidelines” and Republicans only care about it because “it’s a kind of dog whistle to QAnon, the extreme QAnon.”
Moments later, co-host Sunny Hostin declared she had “the receipts” to prove Jackson was in the right. She moaned, “Ted Cruz and others … kept talking about the Hawkins case which she sentenced this person to I think three months in prison, plus a six-year supervised release,”As if this were a valid sentence.
The offender was then downplayed by her, and she seemed to suggest that it was his fault.
Because he was 18 years old, was a teenager, and is gay, the facts are quite different. He comes from a religious family that hates homosexuality. He searched online for porn of gay people. He was correct, some images featured children of his own age. These facts are true. This was not an individual who participated in the creation of pornographic imagery.
Hostin obfuscated the fact that this offender had images and videos of kids as young as eight years old and how Jackson had described those kids as “peers” of the offender.
“This is not someone that, you know, met with an undercover detective to trade information and possibly exchange sex acts,”Hostin continued her defense. “None of that happened, and so it was so disingenuous for them to take that one case and try to smear her record.”
Haines joined co-hosts Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Joy Behar to join in the defense takedowns of Republicans.
GOLDBERG, None of this happened.
HOSTIN: That didn’t happen. It was disingenuous of them to try to make her record look bad by taking that case. Another thing:
BEHAR
HOSTIN: Don’t know these facts.
HAINES: They don’t want people to look into it.
“They don’t have receipts, and I always have ‘em,” Hostin proclaimed hollowly.
The View’s disgusting defense against a pedophile was possible thanks to lucrative sponsorships by Angi Olay and Olay. The links below provide their contact information.

SARAHAINES: It was possible for them to do more to correct the misinformation. You know what? When we see Republicans, we say that they follow the rules and are good at soundbites and gaslighting.
JOY BEHAR: Most lies.
HAINES: That’s gaslighting, dude. That’s gaslighting. It’s like they keep repeating it until somebody believes.
The stuff about – I can’t say this enough. It’s false information about her defense against child pornography. It’s impossible to deny it. It’s been proven repeatedly. This has been explained to many people. The guidelines apply to her. Nothing about her is glaringly guilty of that crime.
It’s an extreme form of QAnon.

BEHAR: She got all the receipts.
SUNNY HOTIN: Yes, I have the receipts. You know what, Democrats seem to always fall back on dignity, you see, Michelle Obama’s old Michelle Obama, when Democrats go low they get high. When they get down, I believe we should go up to the Earth’s surface. It is important to shrink like an ant. It is important to make the most of facts.
You know, Ted Cruz and others kept on taking – Rafael Cruz rather, kept talking about the Hawkins case which she sentenced this person to I think three months in prison, plus a six-year supervised release.
Because he was 18 years old, was a teenager, and is gay, the facts are quite different. He comes from a religious family that hates homosexuality. He searched online for porn of gay people. He was correct, some images featured children of his own age. These facts are true. This was not someone who participated in the creation of pornographic imagery.
HAINES: Right.
HOSTIN: You know that this isn’t someone who met up with an undercover investigator to exchange information or sex acts.
WHOOPI GLOBBERG: It was all a dream.
HOSTIN: That didn’t happen. It was disingenuous of them to try to make her record look bad by taking that case. Another thing:
BEHAR
