‘The View’ Doesn’t See A Problem With Democrats Cheating in Alaska

Hosts of ABC's "The View" first dismissed, then reluctantly conceded, a scheme by Democrats in Alaska to put a second Dan Sullivan on the Senate ballot, Daily Wire reports. The episode matters because it shows how the panel's stance shifted once a New York Times investigation described what Mary Peltola's campaign had done. Staff were reportedly told to find men named Dan Sullivan and recruit one to run, apparently to confuse voters. Peltola's campaign has repeatedly denied involvement in his candidacy.

Before that reporting appeared, Whoopi Goldberg said she saw no problem, and Sunny Hostin cast the Justice Department inquiry opened by Attorney General Todd Blanche as the extraordinary act. Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that the ballot labels the real Senator Dan Sullivan as the incumbent. Afterward, Goldberg called the plan sloppy and dumb while saying the facts were unconfirmed. Joy Behar called it ordinary politics practiced by both parties and cited Donald Trump's request for 11,780 votes. Farah Griffin said it stinks and urged Peltola to distance herself. Sara Haines called it dirty but said operatives may be responsible, noting Peltola led comfortably in the primary. Hostin blamed Citizens United and campaign spending, naming Elon Musk.
