As the media has a conniption over the “mob” of House Republicans
“storming” a closed-door impeachment inquiry hearing yesterday, the
hosts of The View played right into the hysteria on Thursday’s show.
Co-host Sunny Hostin even suggested that the Republicans, who were
demanding transparency about the impeachment inquiry, be criminally
investigated for breaking the law.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg began the show with a dramatic retelling of
what occurred:
"So yesterday Florida congressman Matt Gaetz led a stampede of House
Republicans into the basement of the Capitol to storm the closed-door
House impeachment inquiry demanding to know what's going on in there!"
she gushed.
That sounds a lot more aggressive than what actually happened; a group
of mostly middle-aged and older men and women walking quietly into a
room, as you can see on video that was taken.
Joy Behar claimed Republicans only did this because they were “scared”
of President Trump: “It’s just based on pure, you know, fear. Just fear
and cowardice in my opinion,” she declared.
But Sunny Hostin, an ABC legal analyst, took it a step further, arguing
that legal action be taken against the group led by Florida Rep. Matt
Gaetz. She blasted the behavior as “illegal” "witness intimidation,"
suggesting the Republican members of Congress be investigated:
This is nothing but political theater and I really think
it's much to do about nothing, but it was illegal. It felt
a lot like witness intimidation to me because we know that
this was a Defense Department official. I just by---anyone
else would be, I think, criminally investigated for that.
Wonder why Hostin didn’t recommend the same harsh punishment for
Democrats, who’ve done similar “stunts.”
As NewsBusters’ Nick Fondacaro pointed out yesterday, ABC, NBC and CBS
hailed Democrats for demanding gun control with a day-long sit-in on
the House floor in 2016. It seems the media is completely in favor of
disruptions on the House floor, as long as it is Democrats doing the
disrupting.
