It took 15 tries, but Kevin McCarthy finally secured the votes he needed to become the next House speaker on Friday night. But “The View” host Alyssa Farah Griffin is pretty sure that his tenure in the position will be the shortest “in history.”
To kick off the discussion on McCarthy during Monday’s Hot Topics, moderator Whoopi Goldberg tried to nip it in the bud. Playing back footage of the near-brawl between Alabama Republican Mike Rodgers and Matt Gaetz — which came after Gaetz torpedoed McCarthy’s 14th attempt — Whoopi posed the topic to her co-hosts very sarcastically.
“Given how this particular clown show has played out, do you have any hope — any hope at all — that they will actually do any business? Get any business done?” she asked. When her colleagues answered a resounding “no,” she jokingly moved on, saying “Ok, next!”
Of course, the women did actually have a longer discussion on the topic.
