\u201dThat was, for me, the most insulting appointment,\u201c Sunny Hostin said<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made good on most of his promises to appoint far-right members of the Republican party to House committees this week, including appointing Marjorie Taylor Greene to the Homeland Security Committee. And on Wednesday, the hosts of \u201cThe View\u201d called that particular assignment \u201chorrifying,\u201d given the congresswoman\u2019s past statements about terror threats to the homeland.<\/p>\n

Granted, the women of \u201cThe View\u201d weren\u2019t exactly surprised by McCarthy\u2019s choices for committees. Host Joy Behar noted that it was \u201ca clown car that was coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, let\u2019s face it. This has been coming, because Kevin McCarthy has no soul,\u201d Behar said. \u201cHe has no ethics. He has no morals. He has no spine. I don\u2019t know. He\u2019s a shell of a human being in my opinion. He crawled to get this position which he could lose like that<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Behar specifically honed in on Marjorie Taylor Greene, scolding her for previously calling President Biden \u201ca piece of excrement,\u201d and saying that Behar doesn\u2019t want anyone like that representing the country.<\/p>\n

Her co-hosts largely agreed, but took bigger issue with Taylor Greene\u2019s past when it comes to safety threats in the country which, of course, is what Homeland Security focuses on. The women called up the fact that Taylor Greene was among those who harassed<\/a> Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg on the street before she was elected to Congress.<\/p>\n

In a video surfaced in 2021, Taylor Greene follows Hogg as he walks toward the Capitol, yelling questions at him, which he doesn\u2019t respond to. She then called him \u201ca coward\u201d who \u201ccan\u2019t say one word because he can\u2019t defend his stance.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the hosts of \u201cThe View\u201d also noted that in 2018, Taylor Greene\u00a0amplified a QAnon conspiracy theory<\/a>, saying \u201cIt\u2019s odd there\u2019s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon.\u201d The congresswoman has since said that she does fully believe the events of 9\/11.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cJust for, you know, for history, the Homeland Security Committee was set up in 2002, in the aftermath of 9\/11. So the idea of having a 9\/11 denier on the committee is horrifying,\u201d co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also, a lot of its focus now should be on homegrown terror threats, things like the Proud Boys, the Oathkeepers. But this is a woman who said, \u2018If I had been organizing January 6, we would have won and we would have been armed.\u2019 That\u2019s a woman who should be on no<\/em> committees, much less Homeland Security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Host Sunny Hostin agreed, saying that Taylor Greene\u2019s spot on that particular committee \u201cwas, for me, the most insulting appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n
