‘The View’ Forced To Clarify Remarks After Smearing Trump’s Cabinet Picks
The hosts of ABC’s “The View” were required to deliver another on-air legal note during Thursday’s broadcast after suggesting that having a history of sexual assault allegations was a prerequisite for a position in President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet.
The co-hosts specifically criticized former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who withdrew his name from consideration for Attorney General shortly after the segment aired, and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. However, they later clarified that while both men have been investigated, they have consistently denied any wrongdoing, and neither has ever been charged.
