BC News’ "The View" on Wednesday apologized to Turning Point USA after the conservative group called on the daytime gabfest to "retract the defamatory statements" made earlier this week or face legal action.
Fox News Digital first reported a scathing letter sent from Turning Point USA that gave "The View" until Wednesday to retract comments made by the show’s liberal panelists tying neo-Nazi demonstrators at its Tampa, Florida, event last weekend to the conservative group. "#SueTheView" trended on social media overnight and the ABC News program addressed the comments early in the first episode after network executives received the letter.
"On Monday we talked about the fact that there were openly neo-Nazi demonstrators outside the Florida Student Action Summit of the Turning Point USA group. We want to make clear that these demonstrators were gathered outside the event and that they were not invited or endorsed by Turning Point USA," co-host Sara Haines said.
She then said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis "did nothing," but failed to mention the Republican governor attended the event the day before neo-Nazis appeared.
Later on the program, "The View" read an on-air legal disclaimer to inform viewers that Turning Point USA condemned the neo-Nazis protestors who had "nothing to do" with the organization.
"But you let them in, and you knew what they were," Goldberg said before the panelists were forced to read another disclaimer and explain the neo-Nazis were "outside protestors" and TPUSA didn’t let them in. "My point was metaphorical," she said.
