‘The View’ Agonizes Over Republican Party on One Year Anniversary of Capitol Attacks – Decider

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the January 6 Capitol insurrection, and The Views hosts took some time during todays episode to reflect upon the uncertain future of the Republican Party, and American democracy as a whole.

Sunny Hostin admitted that she doesnt feel that the figures responsible for the Capitol attacks have been held accountable, from Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows defying subpoenas to Attorney General Merrick Garland not criminally charging former President Donald Trump.

The Republican Party is supposed to be the party of law and order, she said. What happened to that? I am really just afraid that Jan. 6 was a test run, which we see all the time in other countries. A test run that may happen again.

As Hostin pointed out, prosecuting cases isnt just about accountability, either.

Its also about sending a message to the community about what will and will not be tolerated in a society, she added. What better message to send not only to our country, but to the world, that trying to attempt a coup is unacceptable in what many have called the greatest democracy in the world?

Guest host Ana Navarro applauded the speech that President Joe Biden gave today, in which he condemned the Capitol rioters and slammed Trump (who he referred to simply as the former president) for the role that his web of lies played in the event.

We cant stop talking about the truth, and about what happened, and erase history because part of America doesnt agree, or doesnt want to see what they saw with their own eyes, she said. I hope this is a day which lives in infamy for the rest of American history.

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
