On a recent episode of The View, hosts debated friendships with Trump supporters amidst discussions of the HBO series The White Lotus, where political affiliations impact personal dynamics. Joy Behar expressed her ability to be friends with a Trump supporter but emphasized the ethical conflict, indicating that such friendships would be shallow. She highlighted that political preferences intertwine with deeper moral values, making true friendship challenging. Other hosts, like Sunny Hostin, echoed concerns about the extreme nature of today’s Republican party and expressed difficulty in engaging with those who support policies harmful to vulnerable communities.
I could be friends with a Trump supporter, I won't give them a kidney, but I could be friends with them, Behar declared.
It's not just about politics, it's about morality, ethics, it's about cruelty, it's about discrimination, and it's about a lot of things, so those are personal human values.
We're in abnormal times. This is not the Republican party of yesterday, she said. It's the Trumplican party in so many respects.
If someone is voting for someone that is hurting members of our community, our elderly, our children, I do have a hard time being friends with that person.
