'The View' issues apology to Turning Point USA - YouTube

Channel: unknown

[0]
now we begin with a shocking apology
[2]
just a short time ago from the ladies of
[4]
the view to turning point usa a war of
[8]
words broke out after the conservative
[10]
group was rallying the next generation
[12]
of voters at its youth summit in tampa
[14]
florida this weekend and the liberal
[16]
panel just couldn't help themselves the
[18]
group sent a scathing d cease and desist
[21]
letter after hosts on the view suggested
[23]
that turning point had embraced
[25]
neo-nazis who showed up outside the
[28]
event watch this turning point
[31]
conference neo-nazis were in the front
[33]
of turned out there in front of the
[35]
conference uh with anti-semitic
[38]
slurs and you know the nazi swastika
[42]
i think it's important that every single
[44]
person that attended that turning point
[46]
every republican speak up yeah against
[48]
the swastikas against the
[51]
nazi uh flags that were waived she left
[53]
the man president opened up you let them
[55]
in and you knew what they were right so
[57]
you are complicit i want to make a quick
[60]
clarification about the neo-nazis at the
[62]
turning point event they were outside
[65]
protesters my point was more
[67]
metaphorical that you embraced them at
[70]
your thing i felt well fast forward to
[73]
this morning the hosts apologized before
[75]
quickly cutting to commercial watch
[78]
on monday we talked about the fact that
[79]
there were openly neo-nazi demonstrators
[82]
outside the florida student action
[84]
summit of the turning point usa group we
[86]
want to make clear that these
[87]
demonstrate demonstrators were gathered
[89]
outside the event and that they were not
[91]
invited or endorsed by turning point usa
[94]
a turning point usa spokesman said the
[96]
group
[96]
100 condemns those ideologies and said
[99]
turning point usa security tried to
[101]
remove the neo-nazis from the area but
[103]
could not because they were on public
[105]
property also turning point usa wanted
[107]
to clarify
[108]
i wanted us to clarify that this was a
[110]
turning point usa summit and not a
[112]
republican party event so we apologize
[115]
for anything we said that may have been
[116]
unclear on these points
[119]
way to botch the delivery first and
[121]
foremost uh sean something that struck
[123]
me in the cease and desist letter uh was
[126]
the sentence that specifically the view
[128]
host insidiously and cavalierly stated
[132]
that tpusa let the neo-nazis into its
[134]
event metaphorically embraced them and
[136]
it went on insidiously and cavalierly
[138]
and i felt that perfectly summed up
[140]
exactly what those women were saying
[142]
which is something so deeply toxic and
[145]
also so lightly thrown out there and so
[148]
false i mean these were protesters
[149]
outside of the event right they couldn't
[151]
get in these were not neo-nazis inside
[153]
of turning point usa they were
[154]
protesting outside on public grounds
[157]
and uh turning point tried to remove
[159]
them but listen these people have been
[161]
roundly criticized and and uh and shamed
[164]
by the right but you look at the little
[165]
marxists and communists that you know
[167]
rally in the streets and protest and
[169]
burn things we condemn them but the left
[171]
never condemns them and if you i mean
[172]
you had joy behar talking about um this
[175]
anti-semitism you guys have heard of the
[177]
the boycott sanction and divest movement
[179]
the bds movement which is
[181]
a democrat movement to sanction israel
[183]
an anti-jewish movement and just we're
[185]
coming up on the five-year anniversary
[187]
of the shooting on the baseball field
[189]
with steve scalise that was a bernie
[191]
sanders supporter
[193]
none of us said this is bernie sanders
[194]
fault when you had that shooter we
[196]
realized that there are crazy people who
[198]
do crazy things we don't sully a whole
[200]
party over it but that's exactly what
[202]
they try to do to us that's such a great
[204]
point kennedy and also the fact that
[206]
these these neo-nazi demonstrators were
[208]
on this public property specifically
[210]
turning point tried to remove them so
[212]
the fact that that association was made
[214]
in such a in in such a chasm of
[217]
geography let alone ideology um and it
[220]
really is a falsehood one upon the other
[223]
layer that these women put forth the the
[225]
official ties to the gop it's like
[227]
there's no end to the falsehoods that
[230]
they put out there or maybe there is
[232]
because when people like nick salmon and
[234]
kyle rittenhouse start suing uh you know
[236]
these major news organizations for
[239]
destroying their reputations maybe some
[241]
of the people who put forth these
[243]
narratives will think about it before it
[246]
escapes their mouths and you know it's
[248]
like we all know that we all know there
[250]
are lines that you can't cross when you
[252]
are talking about a story when you're
[254]
analyzing a story when you're angry
[256]
about something
[257]
you still have to stay within the bounds
[260]
of what happened factually and i think
[262]
what happened there was they didn't
[264]
watch the tape they didn't even do any
[266]
investigation they were just blathering
[268]
about what happened and i don't think
[270]
you know if this did go to trial saying
[272]
to a judge well it was just it was more
[274]
of a metaphorical
[276]
i i don't i don't know if that reaches
[278]
the legal threshold of excusing
[281]
what you said that might do reputational
[282]
damage right and to kennedy's point cat
[285]
one of my favorite tweets in response to
[286]
this was scott summers he said they only
[288]
understand being sued they don't
[290]
understand logic or facts or the truth
[293]
or whatnot and let's put up for a moment
[295]
something that um whippy goldberg said
[297]
in the past that got her um
[300]
she was taken off air for a bit she had
[301]
to apologize this isn't her first rodeo
[303]
watch
[305]
let's be truthful about it because the
[307]
holocaust isn't about race no
[310]
no
[311]
it's not about racism
[314]
it's about a different race but it's
[315]
it's not about race
[318]
it's not about race
[319]
because you it's about man's inhumanity
[323]
to man
[325]
part two cat
[326]
well i i guess i should say first of all
[328]
i actually spoke at turning point on
[330]
saturday so i know for a fact that these
[333]
were protesters who were outside and i
[336]
even heard some of the kids there
[337]
talking like oh they must be protesting
[338]
us because we're not nazis and they did
[341]
try to remove them and for them to go on
[343]
and say these things many things upset
[345]
me about it obviously whoopi goldberg
[346]
saying they were allowed in and then
[348]
using the word metaphor which opposite
[350]
doesn't mean metaphor and then anna
[352]
navarro saying every republican there
[355]
needs to condemn this there's so many
[357]
people i mean i was there i was speaking
[358]
i'm not a republican i'm a libertarian
[360]
but just to have that attitude of i know
[364]
they won't it's so challenging and
[366]
difficult for these people to condemn
[368]
not no it's not yeah i condemn nazis i'm
[372]
insulted and also concerned a little bit
[375]
about you have that view of the world
[377]
where you really think there's all these
[378]
people who think that neo-nazis are
[380]
great and would really struggle to
[382]
condemn neo-nazis uh it's really
[384]
disgusting and i i feel bad for anybody
[387]
who lives their life that way all at the
[389]
same time and isn't this jackie just
[390]
another liberal media example right the
[393]
lie travels around the world a million
[395]
times before the truth does i'm sure
[397]
that original um segment of theirs will
[399]
be amplified a million times more than
[400]
the correction and the apology will i'm
[402]
sure it will be and it's sad that you
[404]
have to send the cease and desist letter
[406]
right pointing out exactly what they've
[408]
done here to get them to apologize but
[410]
as you guys have described the facts
[412]
were all wrong they were describing an
[413]
event and they got it all wrong and so
[415]
the apology to me the irony is that you
[417]
know once their lawyers said you have to
[419]
read this now and correct what you've
[421]
done here then they go and do it but why
[422]
do we have to go round and round in
[424]
these circles trying to sue people go
[426]
after people as a result of it just
[427]
report accurately that's all anybody is
[430]
asking you to do when it comes to
[432]
situation like this but i'm glad turning
[433]
point usa sent that letter and said you
[435]
know what you fix this and from a
[436]
business standpoint remember that abc is
[438]
owned by disney disney has already gone
[440]
out on a limb you know even with respect
[442]
to its own business and taking a hit for
[444]
it um as well as saying you know we
[446]
condone wokeness and we're going in this
[448]
direction and this is what we're going
[449]
to do and so i'm not surprised that
[451]
that particular show would handle this
[453]
in in that way but i'm glad they got the
[455]
book thrown at them joy and whoopi are
[457]
both collectively such a liability and
[460]
you know they must have to run just
[461]
incredible interference legally they
[464]
must have a team of lawyers on set
[465]
drafting things for them to read during
[468]
every commercial because what they say
[470]
is is so asinine and so out of touch
[474]
it's a miracle they're both gainfully
[476]
employed and yet the excuses are i was
[478]
being metaphorical right i mean i don't
[480]
think an attorney wrote that exactly
[482]
what the word means exactly unless
[484]
they're pretty important this is really
[485]
the view i mean you have these liberal
[487]
ladies who are out there you know
[488]
bashing conservatives or bastion
[490]
republicans trying to tie them to
[491]
neo-nazis if you have issues with their
[493]
policies yeah we want to lower taxes we
[495]
like less regulation we want to secure
[498]
border we don't we don't like crime in
[499]
america it's bad for our families attack
[502]
us on that have that debate but you want
[504]
to tie us because you can't debate that
[505]
tie conservatives to neo-nazis it's
[508]
shameful and the larger liberal media
[510]
keeps doing it and the thing is is i
[511]
think it will backfire already has
[514]
because all that does is raise the
[515]
indignance to your point earlier that
[517]
raises the offense of it
[519]
because everyone knows it's the furthest
[521]
thing from the truth apparently except
[522]
for the five people around that table
[525]
