It was a normal day on ABC’s The View on Thursday morning. Meaning a full-blown, unhinged meltdown over President Donald Trump and an accidental live dramatization of what media spin looks like in its purest form. ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg even went on to claim that Americans were “already living in the tyranny” of Trump.
If you ever wondered what happens when a group of TV personalities watch half of a Stacey Abrams video on TikTok– yes, TikTok– and start quoting it like scripture, today’s episode delivered: America was apparently already in tyranny, Trump was a dictator, and we’re redefining citizenship on a daily basis.
Reacting to Trump firing now-former federal prosecutor Maureen Comey (the daughter of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey), co-host Sunny Hostin declared: “This is all part of a plan towards - a step towards authoritarianism, towards a dictator and fascism.”
