Hosts on “The View” Have Their Way Again with DeSantis…Watch
You just can’t please the co-hosts of “The View,” they are in perpetual discontent. The most recent cause for their ire is the way Gov. Ron DeSantis thanked the president for lending aid to his state as Hurricane Ian bears down.
President Biden reached out to the governor after some reporters noted that he had called three mayors in the state, but hadn’t yet contacted the governor.
“The View” then played excerpts of DeSantis’ interview on “Hannity,” during which he described his phone call with the president.
“When peoples lives and their property are at risk like this, you know we all need to work together regardless of party lines. The Biden administration has approved our request for a pre-landfall declaration and did that very quickly. So we’re thankful for that,” DeSantis told Hannity.
“It’s my sense that the administration, you know, wants to help,” he said. “I think they realize that this is a really significant storm.”
What could you find wrong with that?
Whoopi Goldberg did. She sneered at DeSantis’ response as if he took a dig at Biden by thanking the president.
“Well I mean, he’s the president of the United States. That includes Florida,” she said. “You don’t have to agree with him about stuff, but these are his people, your people, our people. That’s what you’re supposed to do.”
“Isn’t it socialism when the government helps you?” Joy Behar chimed in.
“Like social security, medicare?” added Sunny Hostin.
“Yeah, and the fire department’s gotta come. And the police, I mean, socialism!” Behar said in a mocking tone.
The ladies went on to “speculate” about DeSantis’ leadership as he takes his state through this disaster.
“DeSantis, in my view, he likes to have a little fiefdom,” Hostin said.
The ladies on “The View” actually took issue with gratitude.
The View lashes out at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for working with President Biden and thanking him for the help ahead of Hurricane Ian.
"Well I mean, he's the president of the United States. That includes Florida," Whoopi sneers.

The View is under the ABC News umbrella and Sara Haines takes issue with the 'packets" they were given and how they were told to say DeSantis "praises Biden, praises Biden, praises Biden" when he said, "thank you Mr. President."
