Joe Biden formally launched his presidential campaign with an appearance on “The View” this week, where he reminded those watching that he, not unlike a sizable portion of the mainstream media, was hibernating during Obama’s years as president. CNN’s Brian Stelter couldn’t imagine a different political personality making a similar appearance:
As I was watching Biden on @TheView yesterday, I thought, can you picture President Trump in this talk show format? Hard to imagine… pic.twitter.com/4DMfWqjxlL

And with that, Frank Luntz shared a big scoop:
Donald Trump has been on The View 18 times: https://t.co/GiEibmIs1W https://t.co/0EQiIyxuna

LMAO! Yep, that information was directed at CNN’s “media reporter,” everybody. Stelter probably should have stayed quiet and moved on, but he tried to save face anyway in a tweet that’s destined for ratio greatness:
Yes, but you know the point I'm making, which is that it's almost impossible to picture a president who has spent 2 years attacking the media and Hollywood elites going on the show now.

Too late — what’s done is done:
Egg, meet face ??

Do those eggs contain any of CNN’s patented apples or bananas?
"Yes, but you know the point I'm making," is irony that should require paywall access, but this glorious website is free. https://t.co/8KUbU68Pfj

It’s really a thing of beauty.
Like most of the points you try to make, you aren't making the point you think you are making. @brianstelter https://t.co/6m1XNcBueQ

Way to punt Brian. 18 times indicates that he’s fairly comfortable with the format. https://t.co/4EuW1qJHS4

No Mr Potato Head. They all were his friends, at least Joy and Whoopi, until he became president. I can guarantee that if he had sent you an invite to a party before being president, you’d be there with bells on.

You haven’t been attacking the President on a daily basis? ?♂️ https://t.co/7xnVvlhkxM

When did The View become either the "media"or "Hollywood elite"?
