‘SHUT UP!’ View Hosts Brutally Mock Trump Attorney For Courthouse Rant Outside Fraud Trial
Co-hosts of The View mocked former President Donald Trump and Trump attorney Alina Habba, mimicking and belittling both over their conduct at Trump’s fraud trial.
Trump was the star attraction Monday at his trial in the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James and presided over by Judge Arthur Engoron.
But while Trump made several key admissions on the witness stand, his attorney Habba effusively praised his performance and lashed out at the judge in remarks outside the courthouse. Habba took exception to the judge instructing her in courtroom behavior and, apparently, to his use of the gavel.
On Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, and Joy Behar mocked her comments.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: What we can do something about is this. With the presidential election just about a year away, one party’s front runner was in a familiar place yesterday, a courtroom.
(laughter).
You-know-who testified in his New York civil fraud trial. And not surprisingly, he was a little, you know, pissy! Just a little defiant and confrontational, as was his attorney. Take a look.
ALINA HABBA: The numbers don’t lie when President Trump runs for office in 2024. And those numbers are loud and clear! This country is falling apart.
I was told to sit down today! I was yelled at, and I’ve had a judge who was unhinged slamming a table! Let me be very clear. I don’t tolerate that in my life. I’m not going to tolerate it here.
JOY BEHAR: SHUT UP!
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: (Derisively mimics crying)
(laughter)
We’ll be right back. And we’re going to talk about this.
The show devoted the next block of the show to Monday’s events, including the admissions that Trump made during his testimony, which many observers saw as damaging to his case.
