Haines and Hostin sparred over the U.S. senator’s support of a Republican spending bill, with Behar getting teary-eyed over veterans at the center of the turmoil.
The View cohosts are still reeling in the aftermath of Sen.
Chuck Schumer’s Tuesday morning appearance on the talk show, which led to a heated debate between Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines at the Hot Topics table the following day.
After the panel grilled Schumer on his controversial vote in support of a Republican-led spending bill, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi criticized Schumer for voting in support of the conservative measure that the politician said he did in order to avoid what he felt would lead to a much more harmful government shutdown.
Joy Behar praised Schumer for looking out for the country’s veterans and their benefits, especially as she has a personal connection to the subject. “I hate to make speeches, but my father and my uncles all fought in World War II so that we would not have a fascist in the White House, and this is what we’re getting right now,” she said. “I can almost cry today for these people, these vets who are losing everything. Why don’t the Democrats go out there and march and stop fighting with each other? I’m sick of it.”
