In Stunning Move, 'The View' Co-Host Defends Marjorie Taylor Greene

"The View" co-hosts shockingly backed Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green after she tweeted about being attacked at a restaurant.

On Tuesday, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter to claim that she had been physically assaulted by a woman and her son at a restaurant due to their differing political beliefs. According to Greene, the pair were "self-righteous, insane, and completely out of control."

I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son.

They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.

They are self righteous, insane, and… https://t.co/cJWLIAKiyp

Despite being known for their criticism of Marjorie Taylor Greene, "The View" co-hosts publicly expressed their support for her by condemning any form of harassment or violence against political opponents.

“I have to say, I’m on Marjorie’s side for this one,” co-host Joy Behar said. “Because I don’t believe that anybody should be going up to any of us, anybody in public, and harassing us and that goes for you, too, Marjorie, because you were harassing AOC and you were stalking David Hogg, the kid that survived the Parkland shooting.”

Joy Behar defends Marjorie Tayor Greene on the reported restaurant harassment incident.

During the discussion, Behar brought up Marjorie Taylor Greene's past behavior towards gun control activist David Hogg and Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Behar suggested that Greene may have received a taste of her own medicine after she followed Hogg and called him a "coward" in a video from March 2019 and opened Ocasio-Cortez's mailbox slot on her office's locked door a month earlier, calling on her to come out.

The co-hosts of "The View" shared their own experiences of being verbally attacked in public during the discussion. Sunny Hostin recounted an incident where she and fellow co-host Ana Navarro were confronted by construction workers chanting "Trump 2024" and "f*ck you" after having lunch. Hostin stated that she would like to have more information about Marjorie Taylor Greene's alleged incident.

“I didn’t like that experience, and I don’t think she [Greene] should experience it,” Hostin said. “But she’s this professional troller, you know, she was disrespectful to the President of the United States during the State of the Union, she heckles people all the time. I need more information on this. What does she mean by attack?”

“Let’s take her word for it, in this case,” Behar responded. “Let’s just take her word for it … I totally agree with her, it’s incorrect, it’s wrong. It’s not okay.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin, another co-host on "The View," added that she has been the target of attacks from both supporters of former President Donald Trump and those on the left. Griffin called for a "substantive debate" between both sides. Griffin has previously stated that she has received "death threats" from the "far-left" due to her work in the Trump administration.

Disney Faces Serious Backlash After Releasing 'Anti-White' Cartoon

The reboot of Disney's "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" is facing intense criticism over a controversial rap that features children singing about slavery and reparations. The lyrics of the rap argue that America has not done enough to atone for its history of prejudice, racism, and White supremacy and therefore owes Black Americans.

Critics argue that the rap is too mature for the show's young audience, while others argue that the song is an important reminder of the history of racism in America. The rap states, "This country was built on slavery, which means slaves built this country. The descendants of slaves continue to build it. Slaves built this country and we, the descendants of slaves in America, have earned reparations for their suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice, racism, and White supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for."
