Leave it to the loons at "The View" for their take:
'The View' hosts slam criticism of Biden's 'where's Jackie' gaffe, say America is 'ageist'
The hosts of "The View" on Thursday slammed criticism of President Biden's "where's Jackie" gaffe and said that America was "ageist."
Biden seemed to forget about the death of Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski while he was speaking at an event Wednesday, repeatedly searching the crowd for her and calling her name while onstage. The Republican congresswoman was killed in a car crash along with two of her staffers on Aug. 3.
"I mean, she passed last month not, like, a hundred years ago," co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Thursday in response to the criticism of Biden. Joy Behar added that former President Donald Trump likewise forgot that 19th century American abolitionist Frederick Douglass was dead.
Sara Haines compared Biden's moment to a "brain fart" and "mommy brain."
Reacting to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answering questions about the obvious gaffe, Haines declared: "That was very apparent, what this gaffe was, I think her explanation made it worse though because in that moment I probably would have just said, ‘OK, guys, he had a moment, who in this room hasn't?’" The co-host added that Jean-Pierre kept repeating the same words.
Behar claimed Republicans have "weaponized" Biden's gaffes in the past and have said that he's "senile."
"I think what it really shows is this country is so ageist. This country has a problem with age," co-host Sunny Hostin said. "You go to other countries and our elders are revered, and they're revered because of the knowledge that they have acquired, and this is a man who has worked in government his entire life, this is a man who probably had a relationship with this woman."
Hostin argued that something like Biden's comments could happen to anyone and that people should "stop weaponizing his age."
