« The View » co-hosts defended free speech and criticized Trump administration tactics while addressing Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, avoiding criticism of ABC.
« The View » co-hosts railed against President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday while addressing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, and avoided criticizing their mutual employer, ABC.
Co-host Sunny Hostin cited former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. while weighing in on the First Amendment.
« We must protect the freedom to express the thought we hate », she said, quoting Holmes. « So Justice [Sonia] Sotomayor said last week that ‘every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself that law school failed.’ Well, my law school, Notre Dame, didn’t fail. I know very well what the freedom of speech means. I know all of you know very much what the freedom of speech means and the President of the United States should know what freedom of speech means. »
Kimmel’s show was pulled by Disney after the liberal late-night host suggested Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter was part of the « MAGA gang.
