The article describes their remarks as alarmist and notes co-host Alyssa Farah-Griffin attempted to correct them by pointing out that states administer elections. it argues that impeachment and conviction would remove Trump from office but would not automatically send him to jail, and calls attention to ICE&#8217;s enforcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >federal immigration law amid protests<\/a>. The author contends that incendiary rhetoric from liberal commentators and activists risks provoking the very unrest they fear, likening some protesters and sanctuary jurisdictions to historical nullifiers.the piece frames The View&#8217;s comments as contributing to escalating tensions and warns that such escalation could force extreme responses.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Someday, the story of why so many liberal women went insane in the 21st century will take volumes to document.<\/p>\n<p>When that happens, the author(s) undoubtedly will devote at least one major chapter to history&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ladies-of-the-view-link-trumps-immigration-enforcement-to-bonkers-plot-to-cancel-midterms-declare-martial-law\/\" title=\"Ladies of &#039;The ...&#039; Link ...&#039;s ... to Bonkers Plot to &#039;Cancel&#039; Midterms, Declare &#039;...&#039;\">dumbest daytime talk show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday on ABC&rsquo;s &ldquo;The View,&rdquo; co-host Joy Behar explored new depths of craziness when she suggested that President Donald Trump has chosen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greg-abbott-issues-disaster-declaration-amid-immigration-crisis-blasts-bidens-open-border-policies\/\" title=\"Greg Abbott Issues Disaster Declaration Amid ...
