Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, cohosts of ABC News’ “The View,” opened Wednesday’s broadcast of the midday talk show by defending former President Joe Biden’s 11th-hour pardons for several of his family members.
Hostin and Behar, both of whom have repeatedly accused President Donald Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department, made excuse after excuse for the blanket pardons Biden issued just moments prior to leaving the White House for the final time.

Hostin began the conversation by complaining about Trump’s decision to pardon nearly all of those who’d been charged in relation to January 6, claiming that it was out of bounds for him to pardon people who were guilty of “violence toward law enforcement.”
As Newsbusters’ Nick Fondacaro noted, Hostin defended Black Lives Matter protesters despite the damage they did and lobbied hard for Vice President Kamala Harris even though she’d supported a progressive non-profit that bailed out violent rioters in 2020.
Joy Behar defends Biden's corruption and abuse of power in gifting blanket pardons to his family. Her excuse? "Joe Biden lost two other children. He lost two children. So to be in the position and not protect the one child he has." pic.twitter.com/l03cZ4WYsa

When cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin raised the specter of Biden’s pardons, saying that the former president had damaged his own legacy when he chose to issue them, Behar jumped in to do damage control. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
