The View Denies, Then Justifies Violence From the Left; 'It's a Response You're Going to Get'

Friday morning’s The View started off with the mostly liberal panel having a meltdown over the announcement of Trump choosing retired General Michael Flynn and Alabama’s Senator Jeff Sessions for White House positions. Whoopi Goldberg complained that Sessions and the right wanted to bring back slavery and to deport Muslim Americans. Sunny Hostin then claimed that violence was only coming from the right, while Whoopi and Behar conceded there was violence from the left but it was deserved and provoked. “People better not sit back and just take it,” Behar lamented. “They [Republicans] started it,” she stated before justifying the violence as “[A] response you’re going to get.”
After the panel complained about how hostile and hateful the right was, Paula Faris brought up how there was actually a lot of violence coming from the left directed towards Trump supporters or even just perceived supporters of Trump. Sunny Hostin jumped in to deny that there was any legitimate violence coming from the left, claiming it was mostly the right causing violence.
