DISPATCHES FROM THE ICE FLOE: Hypocrites: The View Demands Feinstein Resign, ‘Not Ageism or Sexism.’
The die was cast on ABC’s The View on Friday as the cast collectively demanded that California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein resign as her advanced age and deteriorating health hindered her ability to represent her constituents, and they should get a younger liberal in the seat. But this was a grossly hypocritical position for the liberal ladies to take since they’ve previously denounced mental competency tests for Congress, term limits, propped up and defended Senator John Fetterman’s poor health condition, and defended President Joe Biden’s mental faculties.
After a quick rundown of the situation facing Feinstein from moderator Joy Behar, racist co-host Sunny Hostin lamented: “It’s terrible because she has been such an effective senator for over six decades – or six terms rather, and I think that it’s very difficult for someone to step away from work that they love.”
She then blamed Republicans for supposedly forcing Feinstein to return to work before she was completely healed:
She’s 89 years old. She says she’s not going to resign. And she did ask the Republican Party – or the Democrats asked the Republican Party to allow her a temporary replacement while she heals. They’ve refused to do that. And so, she’s back at work. And I think she’s not fully healed. I mean, if you look at the pictures of her, it pained me to see the condition that she was in.
Despite her own argument, Hostin still said he felt “it’s time for [Feinstein] to put the country before herself.”

[Co-host Sara] Haines was one of Fetterman’s strongest defenders on the show. Ahead of the 2022 midterms, she insisted that his doctor’s note from one of his donors “would suffice” as an all-clear for him to run.
Haines, Behar, and Hostin also mocked then-Senate candidate Hershel Walker with salacious accusations of having brain damage from playing football yet decried the “unempathetic” criticism of Fetterman’s inability to be a senator.
Late last month, Behar argued that a braindead and “drooling” Biden was better than “any Republican.” “There’s nothing to indicate that there’s anything wrong with Joe Biden up here. There’s nothing to indicate that,” Hostin asserted while pointing at her head.
