Watch: ‘The View’ Hosts Forced to Read Four ‘Legal Notes’ on Friday for Lying
26th November 2024
The hosts of “The View” were forced to eat a little crow and correct the record after they casually smeared three of Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and former Rep. George Santos.
ABC’s legal team thought that the anti-Trump harridans were exposing the network to several potential libel suits and hurriedly told the hosts to read the “legal notes” on air.
During a segment discussing the 23 charges against former Rep. Santos, including wire fraud, Joy Behar “forgot” to mention that Santos pled guilty to wire fraud and identity theft. Behar left the impression that Santos’s case had yet to be adjudicated.
That brought a quick legal disclaimer from ABC legal.
“One minute, I just got a note,” Behar said. “We have to clarify that Santos eventually reached a plea deal after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.”
It went downhill from there.
