‘The View’s’ Biden interview gets awkward as Whoopi goes off script



President Joe Biden took a break from his beach vacations for an appearance on “The View” — where he was surprisingly asked the one question he likely did not want to answer.

“Mr. President, we all agree at this table it’s very selfless of you to pass the baton and step aside. There was a perception that perhaps your hand was forced, and some pointed fingers to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who you have a long relationship with and accomplished many things with,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said to the president.

“Did you feel that your hand was forced, and what is your relationship with Speaker Pelosi now?” she then asked.

“My relationship is fine,” Biden said before laughing uncomfortably. “I never fully believed the assertions that somehow there was this overwhelming reluctance of my running again. I didn’t sense that.”

Biden then stumbled through the second part of his answer, telling Griffin that “there were some folks who would like to see me step aside so they have a chance to move on.”

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” finds the answer interesting, to say the least.

“He basically sort of half, or mistakenly, admits that he didn’t want to step down, and then Whoopi sticks it to the Democrats for pushing him out,” he comments.

And stick it to the Democrats, Whoopi did.

“I don’t like the way they did it. I’m going to just say it out loud ‘cause nobody says it out loud. I didn’t like the way it was done publicly; I thought they could have done this in a different way, because we didn’t need to hear all the inner fighting. I didn’t like it. I’m saying it to you, you were my ride or die,” Whoopi told the president.

“Whoopi is basically saying, ‘I don’t like that we knew about it. I don’t like that it kind of seems like maybe they did force you out and that kind of went public.’ So Whoopi would prefer, apparently, that the government and people in power, or the deep state, or whatever else, the elites, just do the things all behind the curtain, and none of us know it,” Rubin says.

WATCH: ‘60 Minutes’ host’s jaw drops when Nancy Pelosi refuses to stop lying



Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is on a very short list of names of people who allegedly plotted the coup that ousted Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race.

But, of course, she would never admit that.

In an interview with “60 Minutes’” Lesley Stahl, Pelosi dodged questions, lied, and spewed grandiose statements to avoid telling the truth that she played a critical role in the termination of Biden’s 2024 campaign.

Dave Rubin plays a clip of Stahl’s shock as Pelosi refuses to admit what everyone already knows.

“Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside,” Stahl began.

“Well, I’ve never shared any conversations with a president of the United States publicly,” Pelosi parried.

“It’s said that he’s furious at you. Is he?” Stahl countered.

“Well, he knows that I love him very much,” was all Pelosi said.

“I understand that you don’t want to own this, but it is so well reported that you were the leader of a pressure campaign,” Stahl persisted.

“No, I wasn’t a leader,” Pelosi denied, adding that she’d rather “say things that [she] didn't do.”

“I didn’t call one person. I could always say to [Biden] I never called anybody. What I'm saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country – whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we’ll go with,” the former speaker of the House maintained.

A look of utter shock spread across Stahl’s face as Pelosi refused to acknowledge her role in ousting Biden.

“Had you seen a decline in Joe Biden, and did you think he needed to step aside?” were the interviewer’s next questions.

“No,” said Pelosi, before calling Biden “such a consequential president of the United States.”

“A Mount Rushmore kind of president,” she said to Stahl, who looked entirely dismayed.

“Are you really saying that he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore? Lincoln and Joe Biden?” she laughed.
