The so-called fact-checkers refuse to fact-check the lunacy that ABC’s The View spews until it breeches the sensibilities of their social circles. Hence why the cackling coven’s anti-Republicans disinformation goes unchecked. And it’ll likely be the same after Wednesday’s episode saw Joy Behar suggest Republicans opposed interracial marriage and Whoopi Goldberg claim Republicans who voted for the “Respect for Marriage” Act did so at the behest of, presumably, a secret gay lover.
With racist Sunny Hostin scoffing at GOP concerns about a “slippery slope,” Behar flaunted her ignorance of history and proclaimed that she “never knew [interracial marriage] wasn't legal. I had no idea.” Goldberg informed her of Loving v. Virginia (incorrectly saying the ruling came in 1964 when it was 1967).
With this new-found knowledge, Behar wondered if this meant that the Republicans who opposed the Respect for Marriage Act also opposed interracial marriage. “So, does that mean these Republicans who are against gay marriage bill are also against interracial marriage? That’s bad policy to get re-elected,” she deduced. She got pushback from Sara Haines.
Purportedly the voice for conservatives and Republicans on the show, faux emissary Alyssa Farah Griffin announced that she didn’t have a clue why some Republicans opposed the legislation:
FARAH GRIFFIN: It's not that. It's the fear of, like, polyamory or, like, you're going to marry a relative.
GOLDBERG: Wait a minute, I’m sorry –
HOSTIN: Is that what it is?
FARAH GRIFFIN: I mean, I think.
HOSTIN: Because that must be the slippery slope. Bestiality? Is that what they're thinking?
“The biggest threat to straight marriage is straight couples,” Farah Griffin screeched at them. And she declared that the “problem with my party” was “these old people.” “The left has been on the right side of this since Joe Biden famously came around even quicker than Obama did in 2012,” she touted.
Goldberg agreed with Farah Griffin on what threatened straight marriages and argued that if someone did something other than celebrate all marriages, they’re “giving the finger to lots of married couples.”
And she wrapped up the segment by hinting that those Republicans who did support the Respect for Marriage Act possibly did so at the behest of, presumably, a secret gay lover. “And I suspect many of these folks voted the way they did because somebody they know said, if you don't vote this way, I'll never speak to you again. Perhaps a lover. Maybe a friend,” she said.
Between Behar and Goldberg’s deductions, it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: One thing I want to mention because this is a problem with my party. The left has been on the right side of this since Joe Biden famously came around even quicker than Obama did in 2012. My generation, 100 percent we are the generation of marriage equality. It’s looking backward.
I remember in 2015 going with a bunch of Republican Capitol Hill staffers to the steps of the Supreme Court to celebrate when Obergefell came down. And that's where we all are. It’s these old people in my party – I don't mean that in an ageist way. But it's people who are out of step with the culture and the times, and we don't realize -- we only want to know a society of equality.
SUNNY HOSTIN: But I have a question for you because what I don't understand is when I was listening to the arguments that were being made on the floor because I'm a nerd so I was, like, watching CNBC and stuff like that. They were saying, this is a slippery slope. Like, to what? Because now interracial marriage is legal – gay marriage –
JOY BEHAR: I never knew it wasn't legal. I had no idea.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: It wasn't legal until 1964. It was Lovings –
[Crosstalk]
HOSTIN: But it wasn’t even federalized all over the country. Now it’s federalized.
BEHAR: So, does that mean these Republicans who are against gay marriage bill are also against interracial marriage? That’s bad policy to get re-elected.
SARA HAINES: I doubt that’s –
FARAH GRIFFIN: It's not that. It's the fear of, like, polyamory or, like, you're going to marry a relative.
GOLDBERG: Wait a minute, I’m sorry –
HOSTIN: Is that what it is?
FARAH GRIFFIN: I mean, I think.
HOSTIN: Because that must be the slippery slope. Bestiality? Is that what they're thinking?
[Laughter]
FARAH GRIFFIN: The biggest threat to straight marriage is straight couples. Like, that’s the biggest – that’s the hardest thing.
GOLDBERG: That's the biggest threat. And any time somebody decides that they want to get married, celebrate them.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Yes.
GOLDBERG: Celebrate them. Don't tell them that it's, like, Jim Crow laws, voting for that.
HOSTIN: It's weird.
GOLDBERG: Because you're giving the finger to lots of married couples. And I suspect many of these folks voted the way they did because somebody they know said, if you don't vote this way, I'll never speak to you again. Perhaps a lover. Maybe a friend.
We'll be right back.
