The liberal hosts of ABC’s The View opened Monday by opining how awful the modern conservative movement was, on their February 26 show. The hosts bashed this year’s CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) guests as “extremists” who were once considered part of the “fringe” but were now the majority of the Republican party.

Not lying low after getting blasted for her anti-Christian rhetoric two weeks ago, co-host Joy Behar went a step further claiming that this was just the latest example of how conservatives had embraced “nazis” and “fascists.”

The show opened with ABC playing a clip of CPAC guest Mona Charen calling out the Republican Party’s hypocrisy of standing for women but embracing “sexual harassers and abusers of women who are in our party who are sitting in the White House,” referring to President Trump and Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Guest co-host Meredith Vieira praised Charen for her “bravery” for “standing up” to say those things to a conservative crowd, “knowing she would get booed or possibly worse.” That provoked Behar to claim that conservatives were now the party of nazis and fascists.

“[T]he CPAC group invited this woman from France, Marine Le Pen, whose father was a Holocaust denier, a total fascist and a Nazi and Marine Le Pen the daughter, thinks her father was very good and right and everything else and they invited her,” the liberal host pointed out.

She gushed that Republicans clearly had no problems with nazis, adding, “There’s like this penchant for nazis now with Charlottesville, and the neos and the ‘good guys on both sides’ and now Marine Le Pen.”

Citing Bill Buckley and Bill Kristol, Behar argued that the GOP had changed with Trump in office. “Those people are appalled by what’s going on right now, within this party,” she slammed.

After co-host Meghan McCain called the guest choices "controversial," fellow co-host Sunny Hostin pressed, "It's sort of extreme, right?"

After this, Vieira tried to correct Behar’s misunderstanding of which Le Pen spoke at CPAC (It was Marion, not Marine Le Pen) but the whole panel was clearly confused at who they were talking about:

VIEIRA: I think it was his niece, actually. BEHAR: Marine Le Pen is his daughter. VIEIRA: Niece. BEHAR: Really? MCCAIN: No, she’s the niece of Marine Le Pen and the granddaughter of Jean La Pen. BEHAR: Oh. She’s the granddaughter--Marine Le Pen is the granddaughter of Jean La Pen correct? MCCAIN: Yes. BEHAR: Okay.

After some more cross-talk, Hostin brought the discussion back to the problem with extremists in the Republican party, something Joy Behar claimed was only a problem with the GOP and not Democrats.

“How do you wrestle your party and bring it back to the party that you grew up in?” Hostin asked host Meghan McCain.

Vieira and Hostin doubted the party would ever be the same after Trump took office.

“It may not be possible,” Vieira claimed.

“Maybe not while Trump is president,” Hostin agreed.

McCain took that question to point out that there were divisions and factions in the Democrat Party as well, citing the Bernie Sanders crowd plus the backlash in California against Dianne Feinstein for seeking re-election. But Behar refused to equate the two, arguing that only Republicans had the problem with “fascism.”

“That's traditional politics. We're talking about something much worse here, at CPAC. You’re talking about fascist conversations. You’re talking about people who are neo-Nazis,” she gushed.

Whoopi agreed, saying that the "fringe has become the norm" at CPAC.

"The face of the party!" Hostin added.
