In a disgusting display of how vicious the left can be, Sara Haines, a co-host for ABC’s The View lashed out at the Gold Star families who posed with former President Trump in Arlington National Cemetery, on Wednesday. She instead that Trump should have ignored their requests for a photo and suggested listening to them was like swimming in the 9/11 Ground Zero Memorial. Additionally, co-host Joy Behar didn’t understand why outrage would be directed at President Biden over the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

For the second day in a row, The View cast fixated on the photo-op. This time however, one of the cast members couldn’t resist taking a swing at the Gold Star families that wanted to be around the former President.

According to Haines’s unrestrained hatred, Trump should have ignored the families because it was like a family of a 9/11 victim telling her to go swimming in the memorial fountain, an analogy for which she received back up from faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin:

HAINES: And that's why the Arlington thing bothered me because what Donald Trump's people keep saying is, ‘Those families invited us. They told us.” But that’d be like a 9/11 family member telling me I could swim in the memorial fountain.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Right.

HAINES: Just because they lost someone doesn't mean there isn't sanctity. And rules and it's not just about one headstone in the back of a video, it’s about every life that is there for us.

Besides delivering being a ridiculous analogy, Haines and the rest of the cast didn’t care that those same families have not gotten any respect from the Biden-Harris administration. Farah Griffin hasn’t had the spin to mention that Biden and Harris have refused to say the names of the service members who died in the Abbey Gate suicide attack not talk to them.

In that same vein, co-host Joy Behar feigned ignorance of why Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) said people should be outraged at the Biden-Harris administration for making them Gold Star families to begin with (shared in a soundbite at the top of the show):

DESANTIS: They invited him to be there. They asked him to pose for photos with the family members of the fallen. So, I don't see, you know, the outrage. But here's the thing, if people like Harris and the media are going to express more outrage at that than the people that made them Gold Star families in the first place, something is wrong. That is unacceptable.

BEHAR: What does that mean?

Behar was drowned out by the ramblings of moderator Whoopi Goldberg but circled back to her question a short time later. “And when he says -- is he blaming the Democrats for wars?” she asked the rest of the cast.

“He's blaming, I think, President Biden,” Haines sheepishly said. Farah Griffin added: “He's talking about the wall from Afghanistan and the deaths at Abbey Gate.”

Behar proceeded to blame Trump for the withdrawal Biden managed and suggested the absolute chaos we all witnessed was just the operation getting just “a little messy.”

GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): They invited him to be there. They asked him to pose for photos with the family members of the fallen. So, I don't see, you know, the outrage. But here's the thing, if people like Harris and the media are going to express more outrage at that than the people that made them Gold Star families in the first place, something is wrong. That is unacceptable.

JOY BEHAR: What does that mean?

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Well, actually what you're saying, Ron, is that it's okay to break the law.

11:04:51 a.m. Eastern

BEHAR: And when he says -- is he blaming the Democrats for wars?

SARA HAINES: He's blaming I think President Biden and-

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: He's talking about the wall from Afghanistan and the deaths at Abbey Gate.

BEHAR: But the withdrawal from Afghanistan had a date on it given by Trump. Am I understanding correctly?

SUNNY HOSTIN: Yes, you are.

BEHAR: So, they had to get out at a certain point, so it was a little messy.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Arguably. But just the way in which – I think there bears a lot of responsibility Republicans and Democrats for the withdrawal from Afghanistan. But I do want to speak to Jimmy McCain, because I think this was incredibly honorable of him.

BEHAR: Can I just finish this one idea. This Ron -- whatever his name is –

HAINES: DeSantis

BEHAR: DeSantis.

[Laughter]

Didn't Trump call him meatball Ron?

HAINES: And that's why the Arlington thing bothered me because what Donald Trump's people keep saying is, ‘Those families invited us. They told us.” But that’d be like a 9/11 family member telling me I could swim in the memorial fountain.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Right.

HAINES: Just because they lost someone doesn't mean there isn't sanctity. And rules and it's not just about one headstone in the back of a video, it’s about every life that is there for us.

[Applause]

GOLDBERG: Yeah, right.

HOSTIN: They gave their lives for this country.

GOLDBERG: Listen, people keep making excuses for this cat.
