Once again, the hosts of The View have proven that they are more interested in pushing anti-Trump hysteria than engaging in honest political discourse. On Thursday’s show, the ABC daytime panel went beyond their usual whining and delved headfirst into conspiracy theory territory, suggesting that President Trump’s statements about the success of the U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and calling out CNN for false reporting is evidence that he wants to impose state-run media, like China and Russia.
Yes, seriously.
Sunny Hostin actually claimed that Trump’s insistence on the success of the June 22 precision strikes against Iranian nuclear sites is an “attack on the free press” and reflected his preference for “state-sponsored television” like in communist China and Russia. This isn't just an opinion, it’s reckless rhetoric being framed as facts, comparing the President of the United States to authoritarian despots because he stood by a military mission deemed successful by both the Pentagon and international organizations.
