ABC News program The View was on the war path against Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (OH) the Wednesday morning following his debate with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), where many analysts say Vance won. The liberal ladies engaged in dehumanizing attacks on Vance by calling him a “that,” “sociopathic,” and either refusing to say his name or suggesting his initials stood for “juvenile delinquent.”

A mid their praise for Walz, despite his BIG LIE about being in Tiananmen Square, co-host Joy Behar suggested Vance was “sociopathic”:

BEHAR: But they’re both pathological liars.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: That's true, but I just mean from the ability standpoint.

BEHAR: That’s the problem. They are sociopathic liars, the two of them. I've never seen such straight faces, the mendacity.

Behar is not a mental health professional, nor is ABC News a healthcare provider.

She went on to assert that of the two entities on the debate stage last night Walz was the “real person,” while Vance apparently wasn’t. She also argued that Walz’s China lie was just “one faux pas.”

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, who infamously dehumanizes former President Trump by refusing to say his name and dramatically spitting on the ground when she does, mocked Vance’s name by suggesting the “J.D.” stood for “juvenile delinquent”:

You know. You know, the juvenile delinquent -- I'm sorry, J.D. Vance – Made a choice because it has suddenly occurred to him that he may have stepped wrongly and any good stuff he could have gotten done for his person he didn't get done. And so, there he was trying to show you this other side.

It’s worth noting that “Whoopi Goldberg” is not her real name; it’s a stage name used by Caryn Elaine Johnson.

Goldberg further dehumanized Vance by saying she didn’t “want that in the White House.”

She also whined about the format of the CBS debate in general and suggested that the extremely biased and hostile ABC debate was better:

I don't want people not to know who it is they're dealing with. That makes me very nervous. And the fact that, you know, there was so much that should have been fact-checked and so much that should have been done. You know, it was a different debate than we had on ABC.

Following a commercial break, they picked up talking about the debate and Goldberg once again dehumanized Vance, this time adapting her refusal to say Trump’s name to Vance; only calling him “you know who.”

Goldberg had been staunchly against treating the Republican nominees as human beings. After the Republican National Convention, she attacked Trump’s grandkids and told viewers not to “fall” for efforts to “humanize him.”

JOY BEHAR: But they’re both pathological liars.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: That's true, but I just mean from the ability standpoint.

BEHAR: That’s the problem. They are sociopathic liars, the two of them. I've never seen such straight faces, the mendacity.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Oh, when he said Trump saved Obamacare. I was on Capitol Hill, we were trying to repeal Obamacare, I'm willing to admit what we were trying to do as a Republican. He just straight up lied about that.

BEHAR: But this is why, when people say, ‘this is a vice presidential debate, who cares? It's not that important.’ It is! Because you cannot have this guy in that position either. Both of them are horrible. And Tim Walz is a real person and he's a smart guy so he made one faux pas. Okay.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Keep in mind, keep in mind that what you saw last night was a lot of good, you know, acting choices.

BEHAR: Yeah, right.

[Laughter]

GOLDBERG: You know. You know, the juvenile delinquent -- I'm sorry, J.D. Vance – Made a choice because it has suddenly occurred to him that he may have stepped wrongly and any good stuff he could have gotten done for his person he didn't get done. And so, there he was trying to show you this other side.

My only -- and we all have many sides to us, don't get me wrong, you know, I got many sides.

Cute jacket.

[Laughter]

But I don't want that in the White House. I don't want people not to know who it is they're dealing with. That makes me very nervous. And the fact that, you know, there was so much that should have been fact-checked and so much that should have been done. You know, it was a different debate than we had on ABC.

BEHAR: Oh, yeah.

GOLDBERG: It was a very different debate.

GOLDBERG: We were just kind of talking about this because last night's vice presidential date had a bunch of false information that went unchecked, including statements like these from you-know-who.
