Following yet one more mass taking pictures the place the shooter confirmed warning indicators of struggling together with his psychological well being, the women of ABC’s The View denied that there was a psychological well being disaster in America as they turned their nostril up at efforts in Texas to handle it. They even went as far as to recommend mass shooters weren’t mentally unwell and wildly assert that “warfare weapons” and murders solely exist in America.
After taking part in a soundbite of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott vowing that his state was “working to handle that anger and violence by going to its root trigger, which is addressing the psychological well being issues behind it,” the solid sat silently in disgust.
First to talk up was fake conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who chided that “There is a disconnect between what the American public needs to see on gun security and what elected officers in Washington and states wish to see.”
Co-host Sara Haines wished to know extra about what Abbott was spending that cash on particularly, and admitted her “perception on psychological well being” being a reason for mass shootings “has developed on the heels of [U.S. Surgeon General] Dr. Murthy saying there is a loneliness epidemic.” She blamed the disaster on “know-how, the numbing of People in all places, younger boys, video video games, porn” and warned: “We’re taking [humanity] away, and it makes it really easy to deal with this.”
This triggered Farah Griffin’s fellow fake conservative, Ana Navarro who falsely claimed America was the one nation on the planet that skilled gun violence. “There’s psychological well being points all around the world. And there is younger boys watching porn all around the world. There’s loneliness all around the world. The one place the place we have now an epidemic of war-style weapons is in America!” she shrieked.
The unhinged commentary continued with mentally unstable and racist co-host Sunny Hostin insisting that mass shooters weren’t mentally unwell and that the mentally unwell had been in some way incapable of finishing up mass shootings. “I point out this time and again. Folks that have psychological well being points are more likely to be the victims of crime than commit crime,” she huffed.
The apparent annoyance in Hostin’s voice grew as she denounced everybody who would point out psychological well being as a key consider mass shootings. This constructed into an explosive change with Haines during which Hostin howled and insanely advised murders solely occur in America:
HOSTIN: I do not know what Governor Abbott was speaking about persons are offended and that is why that is taking place. They’re pissed off on the planet
[Crosstalk, shouting]
HAINES: However we’re seeing individuals taking pictures individuals pulling up at their door, pulling away from their home.
HOSTIN: They’re pissed off all around the world however they’re solely killing individuals right here!
Final month, Hostin asserted {that a} main downside with gun homeowners in America was their white pores and skin. And again in March, she denied that the transgender terrorist who shot up a Christian shoot was mentally unwell.
Citing an outlier ballot from Fox Information, Farah Griffin opined that “87 % of People assist background checks for weapons.” Background checks already existed and are required in all states, they’re federally mandated. She additionally boasted that “81 % assist elevating the minimal age to get a purchase a firearm to 21,” which might successfully make many adults second-class residents who can’t train their constitutional rights.
In the meantime, a latest ABC Information/Washington Put up ballot misplaced month confirmed rising opposition to so-called “assault weapon” bans. Fascinating how they ignored that one.
Farah Griffin then did the entire: “I’m a authorized gun proprietor” and I demand “extra hoops” to leap via shtick. “Republicans in D.C. are disconnected from it they usually’ve obtained to behave,” she declared to the delight of Navarro. Navarro referred to as gun violence “a Republican situation” and proclaimed “Democrats need what I would like, which is a ban on assault rifles. And I would like it proper now!”
The View’s denial of the psychological well being disaster in America was made doable due to profitable sponsorships from Colonial Penn and Mars. Their contact data is linked.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, I wish to make one thing unequivocally clear. There is a disconnect between what the American public needs to see on gun security and what elected officers in Washington and states wish to see.
So, this can be a Fox Information ballot. Not a liberal outlet. A Fox Information ballot. 87 % of People assist background checks for weapons. 81 % assist elevating the minimal age to get a purchase a firearm to 21. 80 % assist purple flag legal guidelines, psychological well being checks to purchase a gun. 70 %, a 30-day ready interval. The checklist goes on.
I am a authorized gun homeowners, or my husband is. Most of my pals are authorized gun homeowners and all of us are horrified once we see weapons get into the palms of individuals wishing to commit crimes and we wish to do extra. And I might be keen to leap via extra hoops to have the ability to legally personal a gun to cease having youngsters and harmless be individuals be massacred.
D.C. is disconnected from it. Republicans in D.C. are disconnected from it they usually’ve obtained to behave.
ANA NAVARRO: That’s proper and I’m glad you certified it on the finish as a result of it is a Republican situation. It is frankly not elected officers as a result of most Democrats need what I would like, which is a ban on assault rifles. And I would like it proper now!

SARA HAINES: When the Governor says, “I donated this a lot cash.” What I would like to listen to subsequent is what does that appear to be? Is that remedy, hospitals, disaster facilities, faculty, schooling? As a result of my perception on psychological well being has developed on the heels of Dr. Murthy saying there is a loneliness epidemic, which can turn out to be endemic on this nation. This isn’t one thing going away. It is as a consequence of know-how, the numbing of People in all places, younger boys, video video games, porn. You speak about it. We’re releasing the humanity, we’re taking it away, and it makes it really easy to deal with this.
So the stats you had, I additionally had on my card. Whereas we might see, there is a psychological well being part, there’s one thing not proper or a loneness. One thing is going on to individuals. Nevertheless it’s arduous to say there is a resolution as straightforward as what does that appear to be on the bottom? What may very well be accomplished concurrently are a few of these issues that almost all of this nation agrees to do. As a result of till that time, I simply do not suppose if we hold going to psychological well being that is an umbrella time period, that if I ask them to outline it, they might say, , the psychological well being issues. What does that appear to be.
