WATCH: The View host compares Trump protest request to ‘call to arms’






The View reacted on Monday to reports that former President Donald Trump might face arrest in New York City for his alleged involvement in a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Sara Haines suggested that Trump’s call for protests might be considered a “Jan. 6 part two” if they become violent.

“Don’t you feel, though, it’s a little bit of a veiled threat that Trump’s representatives keep coming out and saying they’ll protest? To me in the past — it’s been like a call to arms,” she told her co-hosts.

Reports emerged last week indicating that the former president would be arrested in connection with the hush money scandal. Trump himself then took to Truth Social, claiming he would be arrested and asking his supporters to protest.

According to Sunny Hostin, Trump wants to be arrested and “perp walked.”

“Generally, when there’s a target of investigation and there has been an indictment as a prosecutor, you call the lawyer, and you say, ‘Listen, we’ve indicted your guy, I’m not going to perp walk him. He’s the ex-president of the United States. I’m going to give him the grace to come into my office and be charged,'” she explained. Hostin was once a trial attorney at the Justice Department before becoming a federal prosecutor.

“He wants that,” however, Hostin added. “He wants that Steve Bannon, weirdo, crazy moment. I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Ana Navarro then accused “Trump and his minions” of trying to extort the American legal system.

According to her, they are “trying to extort the American people, threaten them, be thugs about it and say, ‘If you arrest me, there’s going to be protests. If you arrest me, there’s going to be bedlam.'”

Navarro further stated that this would not be a political prosecution as some are claiming. In fact, she said, it would only become political if they chose not to indict him because of his status as a former president and pressure from his supporters.

The hosts were unsure as to whether the possible charges would subject Trump to jail time.

Hostin, though, felt confident that “he will be imprisoned this time.”

“I’ve been saying it for two years,” she added.
