‘The View’ hosts have tense exchange over living in the U.S. versus Iran

Emotions ran to the table with hot subjects on Wednesday when The view The hosts clashed on the comparison of the atrocities committed in the United States against Iran and the realities of life in the two countries.

The fiery conversation began as a discussion on President Donald Trump’s appeal to Iran to go to the country’s climbing in Israel, the legal expert Sunny Hostin explaining that Israel’s decision to bomb Iran is “not legal” under the international criminal law. The moderator Whoopi Goldberg then stressed that this is why it was important to have global organizations like the United Nations working to solve these problems.

“Let us also remember, the Iranians literally throw homosexuals from the buildings, they do not adhere to fundamental human rights,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, which prompted Goldberg to answer: “Let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we were known in this country to bind the gays to the car. known. ”

Griffin stressed that “the Iranian regime today, in 2025, is nothing compared to the United States”, adding: “It is not even the same thing – I could not walk in this outfit in Iran at the moment”.

The EGOT winner tried to explain that all the violence rooted in hatred are the same, whatever the country in which we live, but was quickly cut by Griffin.

“No, this is not the case!” The Republican Panelist said. “The year 2025, the United States is nothing like what I was doing a foot with this outfit in Tehran at the moment.”

Goldberg tried several times to continue his answer when Griffin continued: “No! I can’t have my hair. I can’t wear a skirt. I can’t get my arms out.”

Goldberg made a beat before responding to the former Trump staff member. “And that’s why I say it’s the same thing,” she said. “To murder someone for their difference is not good anyone who is. It is not good! So that’s why I said … What I heard is not what you meant.”

“I think it is very different to live in the United States in 2025 than to live in Iran in 2025,” said Griffin. Goldberg replied: “Not if you’re black.”

THE Ghost Star continued: “Listen, let me tell you to be in the country, it is the largest country in the world. I know it, and we all know it. But every day we are worried. Should we worry about our children? [our] Children are going to be shot because they cross someone’s neighborhood?

Griffin tried to find common ground between their views. “Listen, nobody wants to reduce the very real problems we have in this country, it is anyone’s intention,” she said. “But I think it is important that we remember that there are much darker places than this country, and people who deserve rights, and we should …”

“Listen, not everyone feels that,” interrupted Goldberg. “Listen, I’m sorry, when you think of the fact that we got the vote in 1965 …” What griffin joked, “but they don’t even have free and fair elections in Iran! It’s not even the same universe!”

Goldberg seemed to try to find a better way to assert your point before abandoning. “You know what,” she told Griffin. “There is no way I can make you understand.”

Joy Behar tried to intervene to help repair the disconnection between the pair. “Try to reverse the roles with a black person in this country, say, because I think that’s what [Goldberg’s] Talking, “said Behar in Griffin.” Just try to understand from their point of view. From this point of view, this country does not opt. »»

The actress admitted that she believed that Iran “did worse things”, but that did not mean that it did not feel “bad on this side”. “Joy, you know,” Pressa Griffin. “I think you know that Iran is clearly worse than our country in our worst.”

Without resolution in sight, Goldberg wrapped the segment. “We are going to come back and talk about it more,” she said as a show cup at the commercial break.

On their return, the hosts did not resume the subject and rather moved to a conversation on the controller of New York and candidate for the town hall Brad Lander arrested yesterday by ice agents in an immigration courthouse.
