The View Praises Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert Amid Epstein Crusade

The hosts of The View offered rare praise of right-wing Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in their quest for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

The panel, consisting of Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, dove into the Epstein saga a day after returning from a summer hiatus.

The segment began with the panelists trashing Republicans standing up for President Donald Trump as he faces repeated questions over his relationship with Epstein.

But then Behar shifted gears, turning it over to the Republican trio joining the effort to get justice for Epstein’s victims.

“Wasn’t it sort of heartening to see Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert sticking up for the Epstein victims?” Behar said. “I was happy to see that. I’m usually not on their side. There they were, because they are women and they care. And good for them.

Griffin noted that Mace left a hearing with Epstein victims in tears after suffering a panic attack.

“Sometimes to break and be brave when no one else will, you need someone that’s either completely crazy or super brave or maybe somewhere in between,” Haines added.

“I applaud those folks who are not going to connect on a lot of political things together,” Goldberg said as she ended the segment. “But on this we can connect.”

Read the discussion here:

JOY BEHAR: Wasn’t it sort of heartening to see Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert sticking up for the Epstein victims? I was happy to see that. I’m usually not on their side. There they were, because they are women and they care. And good for them.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And some of them met with victims. I know Nancy Mace has. She left in tears.

BEHAR: She was hysterical, Nancy Mace. She had a panic attack.

GRIFFIN: The stories of these women, I don’t know how you couldn’t want justice.

SUNNY HOSTIN: Having met so many victims of sex crimes when I prosecuted these cases, these women will try to get through it. But they will never get over it. They are surviving trauma to the degree that I don’t think many people can understand. And that’s why I do think this has captured America. I think — I know that perhaps certain Republicans and perhaps the president is saying this is a hoax and that we should all get over it. We should never get over the victimization of women, of young girls. We should never get over pedophilia.

BEHAR: By powerful men.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: What I like about what you all are saying about those three women is that there’s a modicum of empathy there for what these women went through. That, to me, that is a good sign. It is only when people can see themselves do they recognize that this could have been you. Or your child. Or your friend.

BEHAR: These senators and congressmen who support him in everything that he says, no matter what he does, they are behind him. It’s unbelievable.

SARA HAINES: Listen, if you know something is wrong and people are saying, “Well it’s normally wrong but not in this instance” because they’re powerful people, it pushes them down further. But I think sometimes those three people — it’s not a coincidence that they are three firebrands. Because sometimes to break and be brave when no one else will, you need someone that’s either completely crazy or super brave or maybe somewhere in between.

GRIFFIN: Well, in the case of Nancy Mace has been open — she’s a sexual assault survivor herself. With that history, you cannot turn away once you hear the stories. I think she feels a duty to say something.

GOLDBERG: We all have a duty. We all have a duty to call out stuff when it’s not right, when it’s not right, because the effect that these things have roll on and on and on. And if we don’t stop it here, it’s going to continue to just roll and take more people along. So I applaud those women. I applaud those folks who are not going to connect on a lot of political things together. But on this we can connect. We’ll be right back.

The stunning show of support came a day after the House Oversight Committee released a new crop of documents related to the Epstein case, including the titillating birthday doodle allegedly penned by Trump, a handwritten letter by former President Bill Clinton, and other items.

Trump has called the Epstein files saga a Democratic-led hoax and denied contributing to the notorious sex trafficker’s birthday book.
