‘The View’ Defends House Dem Attacking MTG’s ‘Butch Body’: ‘You Gotta Go Low’

The co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” are defending a House Democrat for insulting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) physical appearance.

During a segment of the show on Friday, the panel discussed a drama-filled hearing of the House Oversight Committee that erupted after Greene took aim at Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (D-Texas) “fake eyelashes.”

Co-host Joy Behar noted Crockett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) were not the ones who started the insult-slinging, but instead it was “that crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

Still, Rep. Alyssa Farah Griffin countered, “But I don’t love taking the bait though. And I love Jasmine Crockett…”

“By the way, why can’t they go after her the way they should? Why just comes from one side to be obnoxious? No,” Behar shot back.

Griffin insisted, “The problem is if one goes scorched Earth to the floor and the other meets them there, our politics is just going to descend.”

But, Sunny Hostin argued, “Going high doesn’t work anymore. If you go low with me, I’m going to go to the Earth’s crust.”

“What are we telling our kids though?” Griffin asked.

Hostin insisted, “Bullies only respond to that.”

Meanwhile, Sara Haines argued, “The genius in Crockett’s response was though they had ruled against her and she was saying, so let me know where the line is… And to me, that was a good way of showcasing the absurdity and hypocrisy of that rule in this instance. I do understand in general what you’re saying.”
