'The View' Co-Hosts Joy Behar and Meghan McCain Agree That Bill Clinton Allegations Warrant Further Examination
While The View co-hosts are known for spirited disagreements while discussing cultural issues, liberal Joy Behar and conservative Megan McCain seemed to be in lockstep this week on revisiting sexual assault allegations against President Bill Clinton.
Whoopi Goldberg asked the panel what they thought about MSNBC host Chris Hayes' assertion that a "real reckoning" with the allegations against Clinton is "overdue" from Democrats.
Joy Behar chimed in that, while Clinton was impeached, people didn't take the women seriously enough at the time. Behar said that we "should be dealing" with the current president's allegations by 16 women, but "it's not a bad idea" to revisit Clinton's legacy.
Sunny Hostin brought up that the issue of sexual assault shouldn't be perceived as partisan issue, but a universal moral one. Meghan McCain said she agreed and there's a perception that Clinton has routinely "gotten a pass," despite being accused of rape by Juanita Broaderick.
"I think that we need to look at everything honestly [...] [W]hen you're talking about sexual assault, it can't be political," McCain said, adding that President Donald Trump has set an example that elected officials can still get away with sexual indiscretion, even if evidence is caught on tape.
