In a typical display of liberal hysteria, the co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” erupted in a tirade against former President Donald Trump’s nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Leading the charge was Joy Behar, whose vitriolic criticism of Trump’s faith and his expression of divine protection during the recent assassination attempt was as misguided as it was vicious.
During his powerful speech, Trump, known for his unwavering faith and conviction, shared his experience of feeling the Lord’s protection amidst the chaos of the attack. He stated, “There was blood pouring everywhere, and, yet, in a certain way, I felt very safe because I had God on my side.” Emphasizing his gratitude, he added that he was only alive by the “Grace of Almighty God.”
This heartfelt testimony of faith was met with disdain by Behar, who accused Trump of being narcissistic and un-Christian. Ignoring the former president’s genuine expression of gratitude, she launched into a self-righteous rant, claiming, “I want to point out one thing. I’m speaking to fellow Christians. I was raised Catholic. I’m a Christian girl. When something like this happens to you, like this assassination attempt, and you say something like ‘God was watching me,’ that is a very un-Christian thing to say because it’s very narcissistic.”
Behar’s criticism was not only ill-informed but also hypocritical. She selectively referenced her own religious upbringing to undermine Trump’s faith, yet ignored the profound expression of gratitude and humility in his words. Trump’s acknowledgment of God’s protection is a testament to his deep faith, something that should be respected, not ridiculed.
The former president’s heartfelt tribute to Corey Comperatore, the brave firefighter who tragically lost his life protecting his family during the attack, was also twisted by Behar. She cynically asked, “What about Corey – what’s his name? — Comperatore, the fireman who also got killed? What about all those guys that got killed at Sandy Hook, all of those people. Oh, God was watching me and not watching them? There’s something very disturbing about that.”
Adding fuel to the fire, co-host Ana Navarro chimed in with a tasteless joke, “God should’ve pulled the plug on that mic yesterday!” This blatant mockery of faith was not only disrespectful but also highlighted the hosts’ disconnect from the values they claim to uphold.
In stark contrast to the venomous rhetoric of “The View” hosts, Trump’s response to the assassination attempt was marked by grace and resilience. In a statement, he expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.”
He continued, “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”
Trump’s dignified and faith-filled response underscores his character and commitment to his supporters. It is a stark reminder that in times of crisis, true leaders turn to faith and gratitude, values that seem lost on the co-hosts of “The View.”
Watch the former president’s speech here and witness the stark contrast between his dignified response and the disgraceful antics of his detractors.
