The View Meltdown Over Venezuela Operation and Greenland Bid Puts Cohosts at Odds

The exchange followed GOP Sen. Thom Tillis’s on-air rebuke of claims about expanding U.S. borders to include Greenland.

Overview

  • Sunny Hostin argued the U.S. action in Venezuela was unlawful, called the seizure of Nicolás Maduro a kidnapping, and questioned taking the country’s oil.
  • Ana Navarro rejected any equivalency with Greenland, citing Denmark’s NATO alliance and describing Venezuela as a dictatorship with grave human-rights abuses.
  • Joy Behar cut in to regain control, telling Navarro, “we’re on television,” as Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is eight months pregnant, asked for a chance to speak.
  • The segment was sparked by a clip of Tillis criticizing talk of expanding U.S. borders, including renewed interest in acquiring Greenland.
  • Griffin and Sara Haines voiced openness to the Venezuela operation on human-rights grounds, and Behar ended the segment with a pointed joke about Trump and Greenland.
