Ana Navarro criticized the act as unethical and likened it to a &#8220;For Sale&#8221; sign on the white House, suggesting that pardons seem available to supporters and donors. Whoopi Goldberg questioned whether Americans have become desensitized to such pardons,highlighting concerns over fairness,especially regarding impoverished individuals versus wealthy stars. Co-host Joy Behar pointed out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-lefts-war-on-words\/\" title=\"The Left...s War on Words\">perceived double standard<\/a> in the management&#8217;s treatment of rich tax offenders compared to the less blessed. The discussion underscored a broader unease with the normalization of questionable actions in political leadership, with Goldberg invoking the Constitution as a moral guideline to navigate such issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">The View co-hosts slam Trump&rsquo;s Chrisley pardons: &lsquo;This is not normal&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2129089\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The co-hosts of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/the-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"The View\">The View<\/a><\/em>  sharply criticized President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-again-says-hed-pardon-jan-6-protesters-and-that-hes-financially-supporting-some-defendants\/\" title=\"...
