• The View* weighed in on President

Donald Trump‘s State of the Union address, and

Joy Beharwas not only upset by Trump, but by Vice President

JD Vanceand Speaker of the House

Mike Johnson, as well.

While Whoopi Goldberg said she was “true to [her] word” and “had a great time” watching Bob’s Burgers last night—though was “forced to watch” Trump’s State of the Union address after the show ended at 8 p.m.—said she “watched the whole thing,”to her dismay.

“I was physically ill from it and more nauseous than usual watching him,” she lamented. “The way he was demonizing immigrants made me sick. It made me sick. This country—I was saying to my husband, what makes this country great? What made it great and different from other countries, lets say in Europe and other places, is we welcomed immigrants in this country.”

Behar explained how her family left Southern Italy because “there was no work” for them there, noting “that’s why [she’s] sitting here today.”

“It made me feel really sad. That’s the reason America has been what it is. I don’t want to make a speech, but I was furious and scared, as the Bert and Ernie kept jumping up and down behind him also,” she said, referring to Vance and Johnson.

Behar continued, “Every time he lied, ‘The economy is great,’ these idiots would be [going], ‘Yay!’ ‘Everything’s great, immigrants are the problem.’ ‘Yay!’… It was sickening to watch.

Sunny Hostin said she and Behar “were texting each other” last night, as she also “watched the whole thing.”

“I almost fell asleep because it was so boring actually, parts of it,” she admitted. “But I think that’s what got to me, as well. That demonization of the entire Somali population.”

Behar replied, “Disgraceful.”

Hostin agreed, “That was disgraceful. Language matters. The saying that people are ‘illegal,’ ‘illegal aliens,’ that really matters. We haven’t used that term for so long. Now it’s back in vogue. You are not illegal as a human being just because you’re undocumented. So that for me felt dehumanizing to our immigrant population.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
