The View jokes Sexual assault allegations are a prerequisite for Trump’s cabinet

As Donald Trump assembles his second presidential cabinet, he continues to nominate people who have faced or currently face sexual harassment allegations. There are so many of them that “The View” hosts believe it may be a prerequisite for getting nominated.

Trump’s latest proposal was Mehmet Ozwhom he appointed to oversee Medicare and Medicaid, even though he had previously done so made several false or unsubstantiated medical claims. Although the other TV personality has never faced legal charges, he certainly has has a story making very uncomfortable sexual comments in public.

But, at least four other men in the Trump government – not counting Trump himself, who already was one found guilty of sexual assault and defamation E. Jean Carroll – Faxed serious accusations.

“I’m curious about how You-Know-Who protects women, whether they like it or not,” Whoopi said while discussing the issue Thursday morning. “Allegations of sexual harassment no longer seem relevant. It seems that if you don’t have sexual harassment allegations against you, you can’t serve in the government! I mean, that’s what it looks like.

Indeed, Matt Gaetz, RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth and Elon Musk have been accused of sexual misconduct, and Linda McMahon, Trump’s education pick, is the trial is currently underway which alleges that she knowingly facilitated child sexual abuse by a WWE employee.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who was tapped to co-head the same department as Musk, was named as a defendant in the 2023 lawsuit from a former employee, in which she accused him of firing her from her position as co-head of institutional sales because she expressed concerns about, among other things, “an executive making aggressive sexual advances towards a lower-level employee at the company,” Forbes reports. .

Reflecting on trends in the Trump administration, cabinet host Joy Behar joked that it reminded her of a phrase used at parties hosted by gossip columnist Cindy Adams: “If you’re not accused, you’re not invited.”

“It kind of reminds me of it. It’s like, “Oh, let’s see who’s accused of sexual assault?” Put them in the cupboard! And they say, “Choose me!” Choose me!” Behar joked.

Sara Haines agreed that this trend is a problem and offered some advice to Trump allies who say he is cherry-picking people who will help the “MAGA Agenda” stay on track.

“I would encourage them to separate sexual assault and sex offenders from their MAGA agenda, otherwise you are telling me that is Hi your program,” she said.

Ironically, less than an hour after “The View” ended, Matt Gaetz made his announcement withdrawal from consideration and transformation into an AG company.

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
