From attempts to kill President Trump and conservative Supreme Court justices to transsexuals shooting up Christian schools to cold blooded murders in the streets, America has been grappling with a sharp rise in acts of left-wing domestic terrorism. Despite those facts, ABC’s The View teamed up with comedian and TV host Andy Cohen to push a “Pride Month” message to “fight” against the Trump administration.
“Well Andy, it's obviously pride where all month we celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community,” faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin prefaced her softball question for Cohen’s Pride Month message:
FARAH GRIFFIN: What are you reflecting on this year! Any message that you’d want to share?
ANDY COHEN: My message is it's time to fight.
With backup from co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, and without evidence, Cohen went on to fear monger about how people were being “erased” by the Trump administration:
COHEN: I mean, our community is under severe attack. And –
[Applause]
HOSTIN: That’s right.
COHEN: And there are – I mean, every – Look at Project 2025, this is something that's actually happening, and it's not good for the LGBTQ community, the trans community is -
JOY BEHAR: Under siege.
COHEN: - really under siege; they are trying to be erased.
“And I would say we have to fight and be aware and look what's happening and be conscious,” he proclaimed, only then noting that people should “vote and vote for every election.”
Continuing to stoke fear without evidence, Cohen urged people to focus on the state and “local elections,” because “people in your statehouse are going to be the ones that are maybe overturning the right to get married.”
“And just vote, vote, vote, and be aware and fight,” he reiterated.
The View co-hosts were very much in agreement with Cohen’s incendiary rhetoric:
COHEN: And just vote, vote, vote, and be aware and fight.
GOLDBERG: Yes.
BEHAR: Fight for any minority that's under siege.
COHEN: Absolutely.
HOSTIN: Cause you fight for that person, it’s a fight for you.
COHEN: Absolutely.
As NewsBusters documented throughout 2024, The View supported using incendiary and inciting rhetoric against their political opponents, even refusing to back off their rhetoric following the assignation attempts on Trump. The ABC News program was most certainly a hub for stochastic terrorism.
