‘The View’ Hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar Tell Parents to ‘Protect Your Kids’ From Trump After He Was ‘Simulating a Sex Act’ on a Microphone: ‘The Mic Should Take a Restraining Order’

The View” hosts marked Election Day by sharing their optimism that Kamala Harris will beat Donald Trump in the race for president (Sunny Hostin said she was “nauseously optimistic”). All five hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Hostin, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin — voted for Harris. Even Griffin, an outspoken Republican who previously served in Trump’s White House, voted for a Democrat for the first time in her life.

“I consider my vote a loan to her,” Griffin said about voting for Harrris. “I worry the direction that Donald Trump will take this country, and I take my own warning seriously. I need someone who is a kind and decent person who will bring this country together. I don’t agree with a lot of her policies and we can criticize that down the road, but today is about the best thing for the future and the future of the country is that Donald Trump will lose and Kamala Harris is elected.

Haines praised Griffin for her decision to vote Democrat despite being a Republican, saying: “I think that is a big move for you as a Republican for your whole life. I see it less as voting for a Democrat and more for voting for a democracy and constitution, so I commend you for that…[You] will get torn apart but you did the right thing, and I commend you for that.”
