PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: The View Once Erroneously Claimed Kirk Palled With Nazis, Now Mourn.

Behar chimed in again to note that she lived through the 1960s, during a very fraught period of American history filled with political assassinations. “You know, I’d like to be positive about it. I think we did get out of it. The country survived it. We got better. I think we will again. We’re having a traumatic period right now,” she tried to give comfort.

Following their 9/11 segment, moderator Whoopi Goldberg attempted to marry the two subjects by pushing for America to show the same kind of post-9/11 unity for Kirk’s assassination.

“[I]t goes to show that when we put our minds to it, we did figure out what to do. We can figure out what to do…These things are not outside of our reach. And we have to get back to that,” [Whoopi] pleaded. “These are things we cannot forget that we actually have the ability to do. If we do forget it, I don’t know what will become of the country. My fingers are crossed. I’m betting on human beings.”

But The View’s niceties rang a little hollow. In July 2022, Goldberg erroneously claimed Kirk “invited” neo-Nazis into a TurningPoint USA event in Florida. Two days later, The View had to issue a formal on-air apology after Kirk’s organization threatened to file a defamation suit against them.
