‘The View’ Host Rewrites History To Attack Kyrsten Sinema

The hosts of ABC’s “The View” apparently dislike Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) so much that at least Sunny Hostin is willing to rewrite history in order to attack her.

Cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin laid into the Arizona Democrat during Tuesday’s broadcast of the midday talk show, taking aim at her for daring to work across the aisle with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

“Is this the picture of bipartisan politics?” Goldberg asked, her face showing displeasure. “Do we need more of this or do both of their records kind of tell a different story?”

“She’s not popular in her own state,” Behar said of Sinema, adding, “Fifty-five percent of women find her ‘unfavorable.’ Men don’t like her, white voters don’t like her, Hispanic voters don’t like her, voters 50 and over don’t like her, younger voters don’t like her — the only person who seems to like her is Mitch McConnell! And Mitch McConnell likes her because she works with him to obstruct the Democrats.”

Behar went on to claim that if Republicans were to win control of the Senate in 2022, McConnell would lead them to “overthrow the filibuster” — despite the fact that, as new Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out, he hadn’t done so when he had the power in the past.

“Trump pushed him to a bunch of times,” Griffin objected. “He would tweet out, ‘you need to nuke the filibuster’ and [McConnell] didn’t.”

It was Hostin who attempted to rewrite history, however, claiming that it was Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) who got recent gun control legislation across the finish line rather than Sinema because of her willingness to work across the aisle and get Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) on board.

WATCH:

Cohost Sara Haines attempted to defend Sinema, noting that she had worked with Cornyn to get something done after no real movement on gun control in three decades.

Hostin dismissed the facts outright, claiming that Murphy had been the one to get it done even though he had been working on the issue since the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, with little to show for it before Sinema convinced Cornyn to join them.

“I really think it’s a bridge too far to say that Sinema saved our gun legislation,” she insisted.

Griffin and Haines both pushed back, noting that the bill would have stalled without the Republican support that Sinema had been able to deliver when Murphy could not.
