The column notes Sunny Hostin echoed Behar&#8217;s concern while co-host Alyssa Farah\u2011Griffin pushed back, reminding viewers that states administer elections. The author calls Behar&#8217;s claims unfounded,argues impeachment or conviction wouldn&#8217;t automatically mean prison,and contends that alarmist rhetoric from liberal pundits helps radicalize anti\u2011ICE protesters. The article likens modern resistance and sanctuary-city policies to ancient nullification and warns that such escalation could, in the author&#8217;s view, force a drastic presidential response. It concludes by blaming shows like The View for <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-2\/\" title=\"Ladies of &#039;The ...&#039; Link ...&#039;s ...
