It’s amusing how often Democrats express fear at the prospect of engaging with media that might challenge their narratives. A recent example is the unfortunate episode involving Katie Porter in California.
Moreover, the insistence by the hosts of *The View* on desiring more Republican guests raises eyebrows. Is the invitation genuinely about dialogue, or merely a setup for public shaming?
Hereâs an excerpt from the *NewsBusters* transcript:
GOLDBERG: But that’s the great thing about *The View*, you know, we welcome people to share their views. We strive for respect while asking tough questions. After all, speculation doesnât get us anywhere.
SARA HAINES: Exactly.
GOLDBERG: Please go ahead, Joy.
BEHAR: I believe we need more Republicans on the show, yet they refuse to join us. They clearly fear us. Marjorie Taylor Greene noted that Republican men are hesitant around strong womenâwhich may be a fair observation across the board. If only theyâd come on, they could shed light on their agendas for this country.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Weâve had some good conversations. Thereâs value in having voices like Ted Cruz or Mike Johnson, and Thomas Massie has been enlightening.

*The View* claims Republicans shun their show because “they’re scared of us.”

Hereâs a revelation for Joy: Republicans are not quaking in their boots at the sight of you and your co-hosts; they steer clear of your show in the same way one avoids hazardous materials. After years of branding opponents as threats to democracy, itâs rather ironic to wonder why they donât want to engage at the table.
