The Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View were like the dumb man’s Tyrion Lannister in that they drink and just say things. During Tuesday’s episode, revisionist history was on the menu as pretend-independent Sara Haines laughably claimed that former President Biden never repeatedly blamed Republicans for anything. Additionally, co-host Sunny Hosting seemed to suggest that presidents didn’t lie before President Trump came into office.
Amid back-to-back segments decrying Trump for calling out Democrats for trying to make the Epstein files about him and whining about Trump calling out the Biden economy, Haines chimed in and claimed she couldn’t remember a time when Biden had blamed Republicans for things that went wrong during his administration:
The other thing I am so sick of hearing from Donald Trump is – Once you become the president – I don't remember an administration – and I could be standing to be corrected on this – that constantly talks about the left and the Democrats. Once you're president – You know, I don't remember Biden constantly saying Republicans, Republican, Republicans.
She went on to insist that all “[Biden] talked about [was] what we need to do.” Hostin agreed, adding: “This is a different kind of guy.”

In reality, the Biden White House blamed Trump and Republicans for everything from Bidenomics to Biden’s open borders to Biden’s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan to Biden calling Republicans an existential threat to the country. The View even blamed Trump for the rain during Biden’s presidency.
Of course, faux conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was an empty suit and didn’t point out any of that. The only pushback Haines received was from fill-in moderator Joy Behar, who was trying to go to a commercial before Haines interrupted. “I got to go. No more talking. We'll be right back,” she demanded.
Earlier in the segment, Hostin tried her hand at revisionist history. Hers was almost equally as laughable in that she tried to suggest it was not “normal” for president to lie, as if it didn’t happen before Trump. Even her co-hosts found her suggestion questionable:
HOSTIN: I just can't believe he just lies like that. He just lies.
BEHAR: Everything that comes out of his mouth seems to be a lie.
ANA NAVARRO: After ten years of Donald Trump you can't believe he lies?
HOSTIN: It's still shocking to see someone – But it's still shocking to me. It is. You know why, Ana? It is shocking to me to see someone that holds the office of the presidency of the United States lie to the American people over and over and over. It should not be normal!
BEHAR: Politicians tend to lie. We agree on that. This is over the top.
HOSTIN: Like that?
BEHAR: No. This is pathological lying. It's different.
Sunny Hostin suggests no president has ever lied before Trump:

Again, in reality, Biden constantly lied about how good the economy was, that the border was closed, that his brain was fine. All of which The View defended him on.
Hostin followed up that lie with a seemingly tall tale about her struggle with high prices. Despite being a multimillionaire, and previously boasting she paid others to grocery shop for her, Hostin asserted that she “literally decided not to buy salmon because of the price.” “If I can't buy it, think about the average American,” she proclaimed.
“You can afford the salmon,” Behar scoffed. “But I chose not to because I thought it was too expensive,” Hostin argued in her defense. “But the point is, if I think it's too expensive, someone who has the means, imagine.”

BEHAR: Orange juice is up 29 percent.
HOSTIN: I was at the supermarket yesterday and I literally decided not to buy salmon because of the price.
NAVARRO: And one of the things --
