Says "Whoopi Goldberg"/Leslie Jones in an "SNL" spoof of "The View." The impersonations are pretty good, especially Jones and Kate McKinnon as Joy Behar. They're talking about the border crisis:
I also enjoyed Aidy Bryant as Meghan McCain: “Can I just say something? As the princess of Arizona, there is a crisis at the border, and the border is right up in my Arizona, which was founded on sunburned women selling turquoise jewelry, not rando Mexicans. And that’s not racist, because my makeup artist is gay."
Here's the actual "View" incident that "SNL" is spoofing (I'd skip you to 2:30 to get to the good part but then you'd miss how long McCain talked before Behar got her chance):
Side note: Ana Navarro isn't in the real view clip, but she's in the "SNL" skit, where her annoyingness is well depicted.

I get my dose of the view once a year when I visit my opthamologist. Even that is way too much.
I get an error when I try to run the original View clip.
The spoof is pretty funny. Real Ana Navarro is supposedly a Republican; she and Original Meghan McCain supposedly represent the Real Republican side which is spoof in itself.
Jenny: Why do we need a polio vaccine? No one gets polio!
Behar: Because we get vaccinated!
Fen: Good. Now do military spending.
Behar: ....
The writers (leftists) get the "Can we cut the police department's budget? There's hardly any crime" argument. Are they incapable of extending that logic to other issues? Or do they choose not to because they are dishonest?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Though it doesn’t seem logically possible, each host of “The View” is dumber than the others. It’s a black hole of ignorance, with gravity so strong that no intelligent thought can escape.
Allphonso Lingis wrote a book with a great title The Community of Those Who Have Nothing in Common (1994).
Not a great book, but he's Emmanuel Levinas's translator and those books are great. One might have hoped that it would rub off.

Yet another SNL joke about how Republicans are racist.
Can’t have a political sketch without that one.

I would recommend you NOT go for an appointment every year. Your sanity is worth more than your eyesight.
I did not watch the original View clip. I refuse to subject myself to that. Did McCain actually say that vaccination is a personal liberty issue on the right? I have never thought of anti-vaxxers as being a right wing phenomena. On the other hand, I have always considered her to be an idiot. An idiot who is an exemplar of the insular, incestuous, self-dealing morons who think that the natural order of things is that they should rule over us.
supposedly represent the Real Republican side which is spoof in itself.
There is a small contingent of registered Republicans who routinely and consistently bash Trump.
All but Chuck are on TV.
I just really fail to see why or what sort of person watches that show.

So true! But not only that, and I'm speaking from only seeing various excerpted clips over several years, it seems to pass this stupidity to its viewers like a communicable disease.
Black Bubble >>> gravity so strong that no intelligent thought can escape and audience are sucked in
The View's visionaries have views of themselves being the crème de la crème of commentary; a failure of vision.
And they are all racist, McCain included but not exceptional among this group of hateful, angry identity fascists.
I confess that before I saw The View I had no idea how five women alone together in a room behaved, but after watching the show I realized I had seen something similar as a child when an especially cruel girl put five cats in a bag and then put the bag in a microwave.
Kevin,
What proof do you have that McCain is a Republican?
I'm quite sure no McCain has ever been a conservative.
I would guess that the producers of the view hate women and put the show together to illustrate every stereotype of women as unintelligent, ignorant, illogical harpys.
But the show has an audience of like-minded viewers. As a woman I find that very embarrassing.
it's Brando Mexicans

normally I like typos, but if you didn't hear it, the type takes away an important element of the joke.
McKinnon was devastating as Hillary. That was a moment to cherish. For just that one brief, shining moment, SNL was cruel and funny towards a Democrat candidate. I understand they've taken precautionary steps to make sure that it never again happens.
"Jenny" is wrong that reddit would disagree about it being okay not to vaccinate. There are anti-vax groups, but if they post anywhere else, they get blasted.
The best part of that entire sketch was Kenan Thompson spraying them down like bad cats
I am surprised they have any audience at all. A soap opera would be more intellectually stimulating.
"? I have never thought of anti-vaxxers as being a right wing phenomena."
It's not. I forget who said it, but you can identify Anti-vax clusters by pinning all the Whole Foods outlets on your local map.
Although I'm not convinced there isn't a link witb autism.
We have a good friend who was in poor health, chronic pain, for years. Her family is wealthy, so she went to all the best specialists to figure what was wrong with her. For five years, none of the medical experts could find anything.
So they told her it was all in her head. Silly woman! Now go away and live out you days in agony.
Ironically, they had ALL missed a brain tumor. She had surgery and is now living a normal life.
But when I hear the "experts" chastise parents of autistic kids as "looney", it reminds me of how doctors treated my friend and I get skeptical.
I actually like this. A show I haven't watched in 25+ years parodying a show I've never watched.
It's a two-fer time-saver.
It's like mocking Alfred E Newman.
