Guest host Lisa Ling was shouted down for suggesting that the president apologize to America
The women of ‘The View’ defended President Joe Biden’s “stupid son of a b***h” outburst against Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, sticking up for Biden’s right to get angry at “endless stupid questions.”
In a discussion on Tuesday, ‘The View’ guest host Lisa Ling suggested that Biden “should apologize to the American people” for swearing at Doocy during a press conference on Monday. After Doocy asked Biden whether inflation would be a “political liability” for Democrats this year, the president muttered under his breath “That’s a great asset, more inflation. What a stupid son of a b**ch.”

Ling’s idea was a non-starter with the other hosts. “No, I don’t think he should apologize to the American people,” Whoopi Goldberg interjected, before her fellow host, Joy Behar, reminded Ling that Donald Trump never apologized for insulting members of the media.
When Ling tried to suggest that Biden had set “a poor example” by swearing, Goldberg interrupted again, saying that Biden was only “human,” and that his outburst was simply what “happens sometimes when people ask you endless, stupid questions.”
“It’s nothing to what Trump said or did,” Behar chimed in, reiterating complaints that by being rude to reporters, Trump was “engaged in the most direct, sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history.”
