The liberal co-hosts of The View on Wednesday used John Bolton's new book as a campaign platform to lobby for Joe Biden’s election as president. The women devoted an amazing 24 minutes and 50 seconds to Bolton’s new book, lobbying the former Trump official to vote for the Democrat as the “patriotic” thing to do against the current “mob” boss president.
Finding an affinity to talk to the conservative Bolton that has never existed before, Behar insisted that his new book isn’t enough. He’s got to vote for Biden: “You say you want Trump to be a one-term president. We agree on that. Yet you still won't vote for Joe Biden. I find that odd. You're going to write in a conservative instead which will basically be a total throwaway of a vote. After everything you just described, wouldn't the patriotic and smart thing to do be to vote for Joe Biden?”
Co-host Sunny Hostin fumed that Bolton didn’t do more at the time to stop Trump, demanding, “You are the — one of the very reasons, if not, the reason that President Trump is still in office, and wasn't impeached [sic]. Help me understand why your silence is not complicity in this. You were in the room where it happened.”
Behar explained how Bolton can “redeem” himself in her eyes: “You can redeem yourself in my eyes if you even care if you testify under oath about the unconstitutional, impossible criminal behavior of this president. Will you do that? Under oath.”
Liberal Whoopi Goldberg cynically explained how she was disappointed in the Republican Bolton: “I want to believe that the great American that you are thought of knew this was going to on and wanted to do something, and just felt that your hands were tied because if you knew all this was happening, why didn't you step up and say, ‘I don't care. This is not how America is supposed to be.’ Why didn't you step up?”
Would the liberals at ABC and The View EVER give almost 25 minutes to a daring expose that threatened the reelection of a Democratic president? This is nothing more than a campaign donation to Joe Biden.

11:13WHOOPI GOLDBERG: John Bolton served under four Republican presidents, but the current White House resident took him to court to try to block the release of his book about his time. It's called The Room Where It Happened. Please welcome ambassador John Bolton. Welcome to The View Sir.

JOY BEHAR: You were working for Trump for 17 months, and you write about all this horrible stuff you saw go on, and yet you never said a word until someone gave you $2 million to write a book about it. Now you can redeem yourself in my eyes if you even care if you testify under oath about the unconstitutional, impossible criminal behavior of this president. Will you do that? Under oath.

GOLDBERG: We are back with ambassador John Bolton. You know, when I was reading the book, it was like reading in many ways a bad mob movie book because there seems to be the pattern that's happening in the White House. I mean, this is part of one of the things that you say is you know who is granting personal favors to dictators that he liked, and offered to intervene in criminal investigations to essentially win brownie points with these guys. I don't understand. I mean, I always thought that was against the law, and did he ever go through with any of these?

GOLDBERG: So this is information that you didn't share with Congress, but you knew all of the hoops everyone was jumping through. You knew the impeachment trial was being set up to fail. You say that the Democrats committed impeachment malpractice, but I think the whole -- everyone who was in power there did this. Everyone did this to the American people, and you knew and I feel like maybe you didn't want — you didn't think you would have the time to really tell people what was going on. I mean, I want to believe that the great American that you are thought of knew this was going to on and wanted to do something, and just felt that your hands were tied because if you knew all this was happening, why didn't you step up and say, “I don't care. This is not how America is supposed to be.” Why didn't you step up?

BEHAR: You say you want Trump to be a one-term president. We agree on that. Yet you still won't vote for Joe Biden. I find that odd. You're going to write in a conservative instead which will basically be a total throwaway of a vote. After everything you just described, wouldn't the patriotic and smart thing to do be to vote for Joe Biden? Isn't it clear this election is so much bigger than party affiliations and party alliances? It's about saving the country. We're in a very bad spot right now with this guy and you know it.

SUNNY HOSTIN: You were in the room which is what you say is the title of your book, and you chose not to testify. You are the — one of the very reasons, if not, the reason that President Trump is still in office, and wasn't impeached. Help me understand why your silence is not complicity in this. You were in the room where it happened.
