>> Ladies of The View had their own thoughts
on the so called feud between Elizabeth Warren
and Bernie Sanders. Now, this is the feud
where someone or at least a few people from
her campaign leaked to CNN that Elizabeth
Warren had a conversation with Bernie Sanders
back in December of 2018, where Sanders allegedly
told Warren that he didn't believe a woman
could be elected as president.
Now, we've talked about this a lot. We've
provided evidence to indicated that he is
very supportive of women. He encouraged her
to run in 2016. So we know that that's not
who Bernie Sanders is. But all of that doesn't
really matter to the ladies of the View because
they're gonna have a conversation sharing
their opinions from the most ignorant standpoint
I've seen.
So let's take a look at the first clip.
>> I mean everybody has conversations like
that, why is this a big story?
>> It's a big story because he hurt Hillary
Clinton's so much in the last election.
>> He did, yeah.
>> And it's a big story because while he has
a good reputation on Capitol Hill, he does
as being a junior senator.
>> Right.
>> Like other senators, his supporters have
a really bad reputation, meaning the Bernie
Bros, it's actually one of the few things
that really connects liberal pundits and conservative
female pundits together is there's just a
level of misogyny but he has a problem with
women and he has for a long time.
Look, I don't want another misogynist as president,
okay, I mean I think we are all women in this
country are sick of it and I have always thought
he has a a lot of problem with women.
>> God.
>> Not a single person can show us evidence
of him having probelms with women.
>> But you heard it right there, Megan McCain.
She doesn't like him so why should a liberal?
>> So the media and his political opponents
will paint this narrative, the media will
assist them on that and just regurgitate stories
without providing any evidence to back up
these claims that he's a misogynist.
And then that's it, that's the narrative,
right? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
if there's no proof. It's doesn't matter if
it's been debunked a million times with videos
that we've shown you on the show, with the
votes that he's cast when it comes to empowering
women. None of that matters, none of that
ever gets brought up.
Look, this is how the media, they just single
handedly, constantly destruct any campaign
or any candidate that they don't like.
>> And right there it sounded like, I didn't
watch the full thing because it's The View,
I don't watch The View, but it sounded like
Joy Behar initally was defending Bernie kind
of.
>> It sounds like-
>> And then-
>> It sounded like she was saying-
>> Let me state it's a non-story.
>> Right.
>> It's campaigning.
>> Then someone, I think Megan McCain said,
she's gonna do what he did before and even
Joy was like, yeah, no, he was bad in 2016.
>> He wasn't bad in 2016.
>> Exactly, it was infuriating.
>> He's running in a primary guys. What the
hell? What do you think a primary is for,
to play patty cakes? Is a primary to do like
hop-scotch on the debate stage? That's not
what a primary is.
He has to differentiate himself from his candidates.
And he was so nice to Hilary Clinton. They
really don't think that there was a 2016 primary
election. They think-
>> Bernie was asked.
>> Hillary run and Bernie was annoying on
the side. They really do think that.
>> They do.
>> They don't think that we actually had a
chance to choose between two different candidates
and sometimes it gets dirty. But 2016 was
way less dirty than Hillary Clinton's campaign
against Barack Obama.
>> 100%.
>> It is so infuriating and also we lived
through that experience. So we went through
this long primary and then eventually Hillary
Clinton is the nominee.
So then Bernie Sanders decides, you know what,
I disagree with her in a million different
ways, but I'm gonna support her for president.
>> And campaign on her behalf.
>> And campaign on her behalf. And we similarly
like Bernie Sanders campaigned for her because
it was obvious that she'd be much-
>> No, no we did not campaign for her
>> I said that people should vote for her
in the same way that Bernie Sanders was saying
it.
>> I don't think that's campaigning for her.
>> No, not campaigning. We were doing events.
>> I begrudgingly voted for her becuase I
did not want Trump to win.
>> Okay then we disagree but you can read
in Bernie Sanders book. He lays out, there
was never a doubt in his mind that she would
be a million times better than Donald Trump,
and I felt similarly. And we were attacked
at the time for advocating along the lines
of Bernie Sanders.
And the insult to injury is after all of that
,after being attacked. Now, years later, it's
as if none of that actually happened. And
Bernie Sanders and all of his supporters just
wanted Donald Trump to be president.
>> During the debates in 2016, the primary
debates, at one point Bernie Sanders was asked
about Hillary Clinton's emails.
And what did he do? First of all, for any
shady dirty below the belt politician they
would totally take, there would be a layup,
right? They take that opportunity to bash
Hillary Clinton. He didn't do that. He's like
I don't care about her emails, let's talk
about the issues.
>> He was so gentle so polite to her. But
this is why--
>> And he gets no credit for everything he
did to try to help her.
>> He never will, which is why Bernie take
the gloves off. They're gonna go after you
no matter what. Obviously, don't do personal
attacks.
I don't think that's, that doesn't suit anyone
and it's a bad idea. But I think that he needs
to be a little more forceful in talking about
how his policies are better than everyone
else's, and talking about how his record is
better than everyone else's, and talking about
how he's been consistent more than any other
politician I have personally ever seen, okay?
So he needs to, play nice is not gonna get
them to play fair with you, right? So you're
the best candidate, own it and show the world
and don't let them intimidate you from doing
that. And I'm not saying he's being intimidated,
but I just think that he's-
>> I think he's being himself.
>> He's being himself.
>> I think this is who he is.
>> Yeah, but like, the gloves needs to come
off when it comes to these smears and he needs
to fight back a little more aggressively.
With that said, here's Abby Huntsman piling
on.
>> I experienced it first hand when I did
the Bill Marr show. I was sitting on the Bill
Marr panel with him and I was young, I was
like 24, 25 and he was doing his thing, he's
talking with his hands like this.
>> Did he tell you to shut up or something?
I mean,
>> We showed a clip of that.
>> He didn't even realize I was sitting there
or existed. It was kind of like this and I
finally got so bad that I had to literally
physically grab his hand and take it down.
But again, do I think he's purposely trying
to make people feel bad, no, but it looks
bad.
>> Yeah.
>> And I think over time it becomes a narrative
like you're saying Megan. And in this environment
that doesn't, it surprises me that he has
the following that he does even with women.
When he does things like that.
>> They acknowledged that he has a following
with women.
They don't usually do that on the news.
>> Okay, so Abby Huntsman was offended by
Bernie Sanders and his body language. His
body language was not inviting or nice enough
for her. I mean look, I do this show with
Cenk every day, right, usually. Sometimes
after I make a point I look him in the eye
and I make a point, sometimes he doesn't look
me right back in the eye and make a point.
He looks at the camera. I am offended by that.
How dare he look into the camera? Rather than
address me by looking me in. It's stupid.
It's stupid. Right, these are nonsense talking
points that have nothing to do with policy.
They do nothing to improve the lives of the
American people.
They're not having a single discussion about
what he has to offer or what he's bringing
to the table. Not once do that come up in
the context of this conversation that the
New York Times has referred to as the most
important political news show in America,
okay? Not once.
This is how gross, shallow, and superficial
our media is.
>> Yeah.
>> But there's more, let's go to Joy Behar.
>> I just hope that when the candidate emerges,
whoever it is, maybe Biden, maybe Klobuchar.
I don't know who it's gonna be yet. I just
hope that all the Bernie people get behind
that candidate.
>> They won't.
>> I hope that they are not as self destructive
as a lot of Trump voters, who vote against
their own interests.
>> It's a historical. That's simply not an
accurate description of what happened in 2016.
>> It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because
they don't cite any evidence of anything they're
saying and they get away with it.
And they still get these glowing reports in
the New York Times about how this is the most
important political show in the country, finally,
Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin.
>> I had a conversation with a politician
last night. And we were talking about the
likelihood of there being a fractured convention
is, everyone should, at this point, expect
it.
Because I don't think Bernie and his supporters
are gonna let this go, much like they did
last time. Again it will hurt the principal
just like he really hurt Hillary.
>> In Hillary's book she says, some of his
supporters, the so-called Bernie Bros took
to harassing my supporters online.
It got ugly and more than a little sexist,
that's from Hillary.
>> Remember that in like the closeup of his
face it looks like he was sucking on a lemon
when they were showing her. And then his brother
made this whole thing. And it wasn't the show
of dignity and solidarity that I think she
had hoped.
>> What?
>> My God. His facial reaction just was not
like, it was not nice.
>> Yeah.
>> And I like don't know what he was thinking
and like, he didn't exactly say anything offensive
to women or like about women.
>> Or do anything.
>> But like his face.
But like his face, I just didn't like his
face. His face wasn't good. So New York Times,
please write about my expert commentary. I
get paid millions of dollars to sound like
a moron on daytime television.
>> And she is 15 times more important than
you and I combined, which is crazy.
I'm just glad that she's looking out for Hillary
Clinton, who she totally supported. She's
always looking out for us, Meghan McCain,
she just has the best interest of the Democratic
Party at heart.
>> I know, John, but like-
>> It's so fake and disingenuous.
>> She's just looking out for the millions
of men and women who are gonna take to the
polls and might not know that Bernie Sanders
has a face that I don't like.
>> Exactly.
>> Okay, and then finally Whoopi Goldberg.
Just one more video on this.
>> Listen Bernie Bros, if you're out there,
keep your emails cuz you know I don't care.
>> But this is really about the content. This
is not about being a bro or a girlfriend.
It's not about any of that. If he is not the
candidate, get your behinds in gear.
>> Get your behinds in gear, or,
>> And stop pretending that you're looking
for him to actually do something that's meaningful
for everybody in the nation. Either we're
going to try to make this change together,
whoever the person is, or we're not.
And it would be nice to do it with you, but
we can do it without you. We don't wanna,
but you can't do what you did four years ago.
It's just not right.
>> They didn't. They were twice as supportive
of Hillary Clinton as Hillary Clinton's primary
supporters were of Barack Obama the first
time around.
That is just purely factual, verifiable information
that nobody accepts.
>> So, I just wanna understand something because
there's a giant contradiction in this entire
segment. So, did Bernie supporters cost Hillary
Clinton the election? Or didn't they? Because
in that last clip we showed you, Whoopi Goldberg
is like, we can do this without you guys.
Okay, we can do this without you Bernie Bros.
But okay, if that were the case, first of
all, this whole conversation is about how
Bernie ruined Hillary Clinton's chances of
winning, when. And by the way, is that okay?
Is that okay to just excuse all the mistakes
and flaws of a candidate and blame everything
on their opponent?
Has there been a conversation about what Hillary
Clinton did wrong?
>> I think everybody wants to have one reason
that makes it so that they were right. Everybody
has their, the election came down to one thing
and it's the thing that I was warning you
about. That's everyone, and it's a different
thing for different people but that's very
human to think that it's the one thing that
I was right about.
It's just so frustrating because I love Whoopi
in so many movies and in Star Trek The Next
Generation, she was great. To see her spread
this the Bernie Bro thing, how many times
do we need to look at the actual base of support
for these different candidates? It's just
not true, it's just not true, and it's also
incredibly inconvenient for people like the
cast of The View, and probably some other
people too that when this thing is done, if
Bernie is not the nominee, and I hope to God
that he is, but if he's not, yes, he's going
to.
It doesn't matter if it's Biden, if it's Buttigieg,
if it's Warren, if it's whoever, he's going
to try to get them elected the same as he
did in 2016. They wanna pretend that it didn't
happen there, they want to pretend that it's
not gonna happen, it did and it will.
Hopefully it doesn't, hopefully he's the nominee.
But if he's not, he's going to do everything
he can far more than almost everyone else
in the country to try to make sure that Donald
Trump doesn't get re-elected.
>> You call out corruption, you call out the
most powerful people in the country, you wanna
create a system that's more equal for everyone
and they will come at you viciously.
They don't even need evidence for their smears.
