Every host at The View, save for Meghan McCain, went out of their way to defend Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday’s show, after the Trump campaign came out with an ad showcasing how tone-deaf the Democrats were to hurting Americans during this economic recession. The View’s liberal hosts were outraged by the ad and vigorously defended the House Speaker from the “morons” attacking her. Co-host Sunny Hostin completely dismissed the scathing ad that used Pelosi’s own words as “manufactured outrage” from Fox News.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg complained that “you-know-who” (President Trump) was “blaming” and “scapegoating” Pelosi for holding up a small business stimulus relief package in a new campaign ad. The hosts then played the ad, which featured Pelosi showing off her expensive ice cream collection in front of her $24,000 refrigerators on James Corden’s show and on Twitter, all the while boasting about how the Democrats were holding up federal relief funds for small businesses. Pelosi’s shocking, tone-deaf admission earned her mockery online and provided easy fodder for a Republican campaign ad but Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar were not amused. They scrambled to defend the Democrat:

“You know, the Democrats are, in fact, fighting for more funding for hospitals as well as relief for small businesses for minorities and veterans, okay? That's what the Democrats are fighting for, so this is just another distraction,” Behar fumed.

Whoopi complained that Pelosi shouldn’t abstain from flaunting her wealth during this pandemic just because “morons” in the GOP would attack her.

“There's nothing wrong with that. Just because someone is going to turn around and make you look bad doesn't stop the fact that you can't stop living because you're working with morons,” Whoopi sneered.

Sunny Hostin instead claimed that no one was upset at Pelosi and this was just “manufactured outrage” from Fox News:

But back to the James Corden interview that was like a week ago with Nancy Pelosi, I mean, that's just manufactured. I think Fox News outrage and Republican outrage. They're talking about but her freezer, but her freezer. I'm really worried about the bodies that I saw being put into freezers in New York. That's what I'm worried about.

Hostin went on to claim that President Trump was personally responsible for tens of thousands of deaths due to COVID-19:

“This is about the coronavirus and this is about the Trump administration's failure to address it properly, failure to address it properly, leading to over 40,000 lost American lives. Let's not miss the point, people,” she raged.

McCain was the only host to disagree, saying this was an “effective attack ad” because Pelosi was standing in front of an expensive refrigerator, eating expensive ice cream, while joking about holding up money for small businesses.

It’s worth noting that this Pelosi defense came directly after the hosts attacked Georgia and Florida’s Republican governors for reopening beaches and certain businesses in their respective states.
