The hosts of ABC’s The View played a full clip of Rudy Giuliani discussing President Trump's immigration executive order, but willfully misinterpreted it to fit their narrative. A tease at the top of the talk show asked: “Did one of Trump's biggest confidantes admit they're targeting religion?” The answer, of course, is no. In fact, Giuliani said exactly the opposite.
Moments later, co-host Whoopi Goldberg ran with the talking point anyway: “The Trump team was quick to say it's not called a Muslim ban, but Rudy Giuliani must not have gotten that memo. Take a look.” Even after airing the full soundbite of Giuliani expressly saying the order was not about religion, Goldberg was undeterred: “So to be clear, he said Trump asked him about a Muslim ban. Right? Am I right?”
