National calls for unity in the wake of former President Donald Trump's assassination attempt weren't enough to stop the women of “The View” from unleashing inflammatory rhetoric.

Less than a week after a young man tried to take the former president's life, “The View” is trying to argue that the left's heated rhetoric is different from what conservatives are arguing about.

Playing a clip of President Joe Biden speaking NBC's Lester HoltWhoopi Goldberg Returning to earlier comments about putting Trump in the “division,” Whoopi Goldberg asked that “there's a big difference in the rhetoric coming out on both sides.”

Sunny Hostin was the first to respond.

“I think so. I mean, I think one of the other things he said was, 'How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real when a president says things like he says,' meaning the former president, “you don't say anything because it might incite someone? I have not engaged in this rhetoric,” Biden continued. 'My opponent is the one who has engaged in this rhetoric,'” Sunny read. “So I think telling the truth is not turning up the heat, right, and I think it is very important. Tone matters, words matter, but facts matter too, and so if you see behavior or you see policy or you see inappropriate and inappropriate rhetoric, I don't think we should be silent about it because silence can be complicity.”

Alyssa Farrah Griffin was next:

“I think it was important for Biden to acknowledge that the statement was not something he should have used,” he said. “This is refreshing, politicians admit they are wrong about something. Everyone, it's something we have to review ourselves, the way we speak in this environment. We live in an era of political violence even before the Trump's assassination attempt. I'm surprised that Biden has been around more. I'm not sure how the table is.

“I'm more confident,” Sunny said immediately.

Sara Haines shared that sentiment.

“I've felt better watching him the last few times he's spoken partly because of the content of his message. I thought it was very presidential how he handled the response to the assassination attempt. I thought it was very unifying,” he said. to point. “I also think, but when we talk about rhetoric and turnout, it's your intent because you see President Biden and the way I see a lot of those people who say we have to win at the polls. It's not like we have to “Storm the Capitol. For example, there's a difference where you rally people and supporters and say come with me, let's do this, or say let's change things, use our voice at the polls, and I see a very clear difference in rhetoric”.

Joy Behar challenged Haines in her previous calls for Biden to drop out of the race, following his disastrous debate against Trump.

“Now you think I shouldn't resign because you said I should?”

“What I'm waiting for, I don't know if he can win in November was my message. I'm going to vote for him,” Haines admitted. “I'm letting those conversations play out the way they're going to because I'll support him if he's on the ballot and I'll support anybody else who was on the ballot, if they selected somebody else.”
