‘The View’: ‘Avoid Holiday Gatherings With Pro-Trump Friends & Family Members’


The View hosts and Trump

“The View” hosts are now urging viewers to avoid attending upcoming holiday gatherings with family members who are pro Trump!

The ‘warnings’ come after Yale psychiatrist Amanda Calhoun making headlines last week after she called for liberals to completely cut off ties wirh Trump supporting friends and family members over the festive season.

InfoWars reports: Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Calhoun’s take, saying she “completely” understands her point to distance from pro-Trump family members

“I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate, from the things he said and the things he’s done and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me and I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people,” Hostin said Wednesday.

“We’re just — you know, I would say it was different when, let’s say, Bush got elected. You may not have agreed with his policies, but you didn’t feel like he was a deeply flawed person, deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality.”

Co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, arguing that people had criticized former President George W. Bush as soon as he was elected and during his two terms.

Hostin replied, “But you’ve gotta admit, they’re very different figures, I mean, you [Griffin], along with [General Mark] Milley and along with John Kelly, warned us about how deeply flawed he was as a candidate. And so, I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them and against people that they loved, I think it’s okay to take a beat.”

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg agreed, saying if she had an LGBTQ child, she wouldn’t want the child in a situation “where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her,” adding that “with mixed families I feel the same way.”

“You know. There are certain things where you don’t have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point, but it might not be time to gather, because, you know, there’s gonna be some tension,” she said.

Co-host Ana Navarro also said that liberals should avoid pro-Trump family members this holiday season if they feel uncomfortable.

“I think everybody needs to do what’s right for them,” Navarro said. “You know, I think you need to look into yourself and if — going to a family gathering or with friends where it’s going to stress you out, then don’t go.”

Griffin argued that holidays should be about putting differences aside and focusing on the importance of family.

“I’m all for healthy boundaries, but tend to think mashed potatoes are the great equalizer, like, you don’t want to spend Thanksgiving by yourself because you can’t set politics aside,” she said.

“I find that every day in every job I worked in and social circles I run in, I’ve been around people with different politics and it’s never gotten in the way of having friendships. It simply hasn’t. I wouldn’t have had any friends,” she added.
