President Trump and defense secretary Pete Hegseth gathered 800 military generals for an address on Tuesday morning, but for “The View” hosts, it looked more like a “Knockoff talk talk” – and they could not understand the point.
During their speeches, Trump and Hegseth threatened with demotions, reprimanded themselves against “awakened” policies, shame of fats and encouraged the return of hazing, among others. For the host Alyssa Farah Griffin, the biggest problem was that Hegseth chose to “denigrate” other military officials.
“I am very lost on the fact that he seems to have become a position of republican party from nowhere that the US military is weak,” she said. We are the greatest combat strength in the history of humanity. »»
Farah Griffin added that the American army is “also a deterrent” and honored Hegseth for having called certain military generals – of which Farah Griffin served in the underlying government.
“You don’t need to attack others to feel better,” she added.
Animator Sara Haines argued that Hegseth and Trump have probably aggravated recruitment problems for the military. She also questioned the logic of televising the event, since he openly announces that “all our generals have left their post”.
Haines also challenged the fact that it cost about $ 6 million in dollars for taxpayers for travel, accommodation and security for these generals, all for a meeting that could have been made via Zoom. But, like Farah Griffin, she challenged more than all the lack of respect for these people.
“There is pride at their service and their rank.
“I think it’s a waste of money, it’s a waste of time, and do they know that the government could close this evening, and we pay money to make a compulsory meeting to hear Pete Hegseth?” Hatred continued.
Host Sunny Hostin agreed that “the optics were terrible”, while the host Joy Behar suggested that it was another distraction of the Trump administration.
“The view” is broadcast during the week at 11:00 a.m. on ABC.
