After begging on the air for her to come on the show, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View welcomed far-left extremist “comedian” Amber Ruffin during Wednesday’s episode. Omitting the fact that she suggested President Trump and his supporters were “a bunch of murderers” and not human beings, The View cast defended Ruffin as just using her right to free speech and suggested the real danger was from the Trump administration with wild conspiracy theories.

After the cast expressed their displeasure with Ruffin getting canned from the White House Correspondents Dinner, Ruffin explained that at first she accepted it as a consequence of “running my mouth” but had her mind changed by those claiming her right to free speech was infringed upon:

But they were, like, ‘Look, you were running your mouth in these streets and now you can't host the White House Correspondents' Dinner.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, no, you know, this is horrible. I was running my mouth and I was being careless.’ And then as the day went on, people were, like, ‘your free speech has been revoked! How dare they?!’ I was like, ‘Oh, my god, that's right! I do have free speech. I am allowed free speech!’

“It’s also the Job of the comedian to run our mouths. That's the job,” co-host and so-called “comedian” Joy Behar backed Ruffin up. “And to poke fun at the establishment and make people laugh,” co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, still failing to mention what Ruffin actually said.

While on The Daily Beast podcast earlier this year, Ruffin proclaimed:

I'm not 100% interested in being like, “ha, you're here [Trump people], look at your stupid head, you're burned.” I care, uh, like, you're kind of a bunch of murderers.

(…)

So I think it just they got their feelings hurt, but if they want that false equivalency that the media does. They want that. It feels great. It makes them feel like human beings, but they shouldn't get to feel that way cause they're not.

 

 

“I’m always quite a bit rowdy. I'm always a little too loud and a little too rowdy, but I have never had -- I've never gotten in trouble for it in my life,” Ruffin griped to The View.

Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin refused to actually bring up Ruffin’s literally dehumanizing rhetoric. Instead, Farah Griffin gushed about Ruffin having her on her CNN show: “You would have no doubt been hilarious. You were so funny and I had gotten to be on Have I got News for You recently and you were just a joy.  You are a funny gal.”

Yup, no conflict of interest there.

Farah Griffin went on play mediator between Ruffin and the White House Correspondents Association, arguing that they needed to ditch her act out of a sense of self-preservation against Trump’s ire, which Ruffin agreed:

FARAH GRIFFIN: So, I’ll say this, you did not mince words in the interview you gave with The Daily Beast and the counterpoint would basically be that journalists are under attack right now. This administration has been penalizing them and having them audience to you after those remarks could put them more in the crosshairs. What would you say to that?

RUFFIN: Absolutely. And that makes me think, like, ‘what if I had gone on White House Correspondents Dinner, what if I had said all kinds of wild things, and then what if the press pool for the White House shrank even more? Like, that would have put us all in danger. Like I want as many people in there as possible.

“We need the press now more than ever,” Ruffin declared.

Further in the interview, Ruffin dove off the deep end into the conspiracy theory pool by suggesting the Trump administration was “disappearing” the “people who we know and love, our neighbors,” of which she was describing the deportation of illegal immigrants.

She took the crazy to the next level by suggesting that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Department of Health and Human Services were going to start abducting autistic children:

I'm terrified for our autistic family members because didn't RFK Jr. say registry? … Oh, my gosh! You know, so, look, I'm like everybody else waking up in the middle of the night going, ‘the children!’ and I don't have any.

Of course, the ABC News hosts gave her insanity credence and didn’t provide a legal note.

AMBER RUFFIN: But they were, like, ‘Look, you were running your mouth in these streets and now you can't host the White House Correspondents' Dinner.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, no, you know, this is horrible. I was running my mouth and I was being careless.’ And then as the day went on, people were, like, ‘your free speech has been revoked! How dare they!’ I was like, ‘Oh, my god, that's right! I do have free speech. I am allowed free speech!’

JOY BEHAR: It’s also the Job of the comedian to run our mouths. That's the job.

RUFFIN: Yeah. Yeah.

SARA HAINES: Joy does every day.

BEHAR: Exactly. We’ll continue to.

SUNNY HOSTIN: And to poke fun at the establishment and make people laugh.

RUFFIN: I’m always quite a bit rowdy. I'm always a little too loud and a little too rowdy, but I have never had -- I've never gotten in trouble for it in my life. Now, I should have –

BEHAR: Did they go over your material before they canned you?

RUFFIN: No, but, girl. So, if they -- if not then, then right before. Cause I would have been like ‘put this in the teleprompter’ and they would have been like, ‘absolutely not.’ [Mimes putting on a hat want walking away] Good day.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: You would have no doubt been hilarious. You were so funny and I had gotten to be on Have I got News for You recently and you were just a joy.  You are a funny gal.

So, I’ll say this, you did not mince words in the interview you gave with The Daily Beast and the counterpoint would basically be that journalists are under attack right now. This administration has been penalizing them and having them audience to you after those remarks could put them more in the crosshairs. What would you say to that?

RUFFIN: Absolutely. And that makes me think, like, ‘what if I had gone on White House Correspondents Dinner, what if I had said all kinds of wild things, and then what if the press pool for the White House shrank even more? Like, that would have put us all in danger. Like I want as many people in there as possible. So that there can be, you know --

HAINES: Witnesses?

RUFFIN: [Laughter] As many witnesses as we can have, because they're really trying it. Every sentence they say has to be fact-checked and got four lies in it. So yeah, we need – we need the press now more than ever.

BEHAR: It’s funny how Biden was never this paranoid about anything, if you noticed. We never had this problem before and Obama too and the rest of them. Even George Washington, who I dated.

11:28:48 a.m. Eastern

RUFFIN: I'm black, I'm terrified. I'm scared for my trans friends and people who we know and love, our neighbors are disappeared. And that was the goal and he did it. He did it. He did exactly what he wanted to do because I -- You know feel less welcome in my home than I did, you know, last year, and that's the goal. That was the goal.

HAINES: Yeah.

RUFFIN: This feeling in us is the point.

BEHAR: Do you think the American people go along with that? Do they want people to be disappeared, as they say.

HOSTIN: Did they get what they voted for?

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: They do now.

RUFFIN: You know, I do -- people are like, ‘ha, ha, ha, isn't this funny? You voted for Trump and you lost your job, ha ,ha, ha!”

BEHAR: It’s not funny.

RUFFIN: And I'm like, did they -- what was the math there? Because if I'm talking trash about immigrants, and then I'm disappearing them, [puts on a mocking voice] what did you think I was going to do?! You know, what I'm saying?

I'm terrified for our autistic family members because didn't RFK Jr. say registry?

BEHAR: Yeah.

HOSTIN: Yeah.

GOLDBEGR: Mhmm.

RUFFIN: Oh, my gosh! You know, so, look, I'm like everybody else waking up in the middle of the night going, ‘the children!’ and I don't have any.

BEHAR: That’s right.
