Well, Donald Trump Jr.’s appearance on “The View” went about as well as you’d expect:
The first question to Donald Trump Jr. on The View is why he tweeted a link to an article with the alleged name of the whistleblower.
— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 7, 2019
Up first, the panelist yelled at the president’s son for sharing an article that had the name of the alleged whistleblower in it:
Donald Trump Jr. is on "The View" to promote his new book — but he's being grilled by the hosts, led by @HuntsmanAbby, for releasing the name of the alleged whistleblower.
— Felicia Sonmez (@feliciasonmez) November 7, 2019
So much yelling:
I really can’t deal with the hosts yelling over each other on @TheView!
— Madison Gesiotto (@madisongesiotto) November 7, 2019
Then he got booed by the audience:
#The View #DonaldTrumpJr : Donald Trump Jr gets booed by when he says impeachment only happening because of the ' vicious left'.

Oh, and by the way, these harpies were lying about the whistleblower statute:
The hosts of The View are lying about the whistleblower statute.
Here's the statute that proves it's only a crime for the IG to release the name of the whistleblower. Totally legitimate & legal for members of the media & private citizens to name him.https://t.co/M2DefCURRF

“Very embarrassing” for Sunny Hostin, who’s a lawyer:
Very embarrassing moment for @TheView's @sunny Hostin. She falsely claims "it is a federal crime to out a whistleblower. … My law degree says it is."
But according to experts, @DonaldJTrumpJr is right!

After a break, Meghan McCain questioned Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle on statements the president has made on the Khan family and the late Sen. John McCain:
2. So folks thought Meghan McCain Or Joy Behar would be the most aggressive in questioning Don Jr…but @HuntsmanAbby has been the most aggressive so far.
— Yashar Ali ? (@yashar) November 7, 2019
3. @MeghanMcCain is clearly nervous as she asks Don Jr her first question.
She brings up the Khan family (and how Trump treated the Khans) and character in politics.
— Yashar Ali ? (@yashar) November 7, 2019
Wow. @MeghanMcCain asking Donald Trump Jr. directly “is it worth it?” To attack her late father and gold star families. #TheView
— Derick Waller (@wallerABC7) November 7, 2019
"You and your family have hurt a lot of people…including the Khan family," @MeghanMcCain says. "Does all of this make you feel good?"
Trump Jr: "I don't think any of that makes me feel good, but I do think that we got into this because we wanted to do what's right for America" pic.twitter.com/dcrTrxtB9I

Guilfoyle’s response did get pretty “emotional”:
Things get emotional. @kimguilfoyle to @MeghanMcCain: "It breaks my heart to hear anybody say anything about your father." pic.twitter.com/ocSga9mz3N
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) November 7, 2019
Then there was more yelling and somehow the conversation turned to President Trump’s “pair”:
???@WhoopiGoldberg “Part of being president is having a pair that can take whatever he comes towards you…”@DonaldJTrumpJr “My father's got a pair”
— Karen Travers (@karentravers) November 7, 2019
Oh, and then it got LIT AF as Trump Jr. hit back at Joy Behar for wearing blackface and at Whoopi Goldberg for defending child rapist Roman Polanski as not engaging in “rape-rape”:
LOL! Trump Jr. just dropped blackface on Joy Behar and rape-rape on Whoopi
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) November 7, 2019
Watch:
?WOW?@DonaldJTrumpJr:
“Joy. You have worn Blackface.”
“Whoopi, you said that Roman Polanski.. It wasn’t rape, rape, when he raped a child.”pic.twitter.com/rvHBXE9bER
— Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 7, 2019
Behar, unbelievably, denied she was ever in blackface:
If only there were a search engine in which to plug in joy Behar and “blackface”. Sorry. “Dark makeup”.
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) November 7, 2019
There are photos, Joy:
Don Jr. just blew the panel up by bringing up the time Joy Behar wore blackface. Whoopi and her both immediately said he was lying.
Jezebel called it "blackface-lite."https://t.co/sub4OKedgw
— Brent Scher (@BrentScher) November 7, 2019
And she even admitted it:
Joy Behar admitted during a taping of The View in 2016 to dressing as a “beautiful African women” at a Halloween party when she was 29 which involved makeup “that was a little bit darker than my skin”
The show even ran an image of the old photo pic.twitter.com/qKQqzDPxyn

The final segment was on nepotism which, for some reason, didn’t include questions from the daughters of Jon Huntsman and John McCain:
Must Watch:
"Hunter Biden utilized [Joe Biden's] vice presidency to magically end up on a board in Ukraine with a language he doesn't speak, on a business he knows nothing about for $83K a month. If I did that, you guys would lose your minds." — @DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/pz2JazNQJF
