‘We All Have Bad Days’: ‘The View’ Co-Hosts Run Cover For Katie Porter After She Lashed Out At Reporter

“The View” co-hosts made excuses for Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter after she threatened to end an interview over a reporter’s simple question.

Viral footage from September showed Porter lashing out at CBS News California reporter Julie Watts for asking about her plans to appeal to the 40% of Californians who voted for President Donald Trump. The co-hosts went to the mat to defend Porter by trying to convince their audience that she simply had a “bad” day.

“Listen, anything is possible. But she said in a statement that she’s striving to do better, saying ‘I have strived to be more intentional in showing gratitude to my staff for their important work.’ Now, you know, some people are apparently surprised by these videos. I am not,” Goldberg said. “We see these videos with guys, we saw it with … Bill O’Reilly, we’ve seen it with Laura Ingraham. We’ve seen it with lots of different people. We’ve seen it with actors. You know, and always says to people, ‘oh, you’re the worst, I don’t like you. I don’t know who you are, I don’t know why you’re here.’ You know, maybe people are having a bad day. I can’t imagine it can be easy to be running for something.”

“Let me just say it like this, you know, in a perfect world, yeah. But human beings have bad days and human beings are not always capable of realizing that they’re stepping in poo,” Goldberg continued.

Co-host Ana Navarro claimed that people who cuss regularly tend to be more intelligent. Joy Behar also argued that President Donald Trump constantly lashes out at people.

“So how come every time Trump has a meltdown his popularity increases?” Behar asked, with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin replying that Trump is a unique case.
