‘The View’ hosts’ Thanksgiving advice: Don’t break bread with Trump voters



Thanksgiving is almost here, and Americans across the country are getting ready to break bread, sip wine, and bask in their gratitude for their loved ones. But not all Americans are preparing to share the love.

Instead, some are forgoing Thanksgiving festivities altogether based on who their loved ones voted for — and celebrities like Sunny Hostin of “The View” are cheering them on.

“I would never let politics be the reason I don’t show up to see my family because they won’t always be there,” Sara Haines said in a heated debate with Hostin on the liberal show.

“I’m going to disagree,” Hostin replied. “I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate. From the things he’s said and the things he’s done, and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me.”


“I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people,” she continued. “So I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it’s okay to take a beat.”

Whoopi Goldberg then jumped in with her infinite wisdom to agree with Hostin, explaining that “somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn’t be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question.”

“I don’t want to put my kid in that position. I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all that out,” Goldberg added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” isn’t surprised they took this route but does wholeheartedly disagree.

“Thanksgiving is coming, and that’s when we here in America sit down with friends and family, and we eat and we drink and we celebrate freedom, and we take a moment to be thankful for all of the goodness that this great country has afforded us in almost 250 years of existence,” Rubin says.

“Unless you’re someone on ‘The View,’ in which case you shouldn’t invite people you like and you should probably ruin the day for everybody,” he adds.

Special-ed teacher who threatened Trump voters resigns — and tries to explain herself in tearful on-camera interview



The Connecticut special-education teacher who threatened people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump in a viral video has resigned — and she tried to explain herself in a tearful on-camera interview.

Annie Dunleavy of Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire spoke in person with WTNH-TV, tearfully at times trying to explain herself. Her interview demeanor certainly was a stark contrast to what was seen in her viral video in which she threatened Trump voters.

'The message I was trying to get across, and it came off very wrong was ... if this is going to give people the almost permission in their minds to enact violence against women or anybody, I wanted to basically just say, like, I’m not going to go down without a fight.'

In that video, she claims that "people of color and poor people and gay people and all the people that I care about aren't gonna be safe in America — neither the f*** are you guys. Just because you won doesn't mean we don't remember who the f*** you voted for. You're not in the clear."

She added, "Please don't test your gangster on me because you will end on a stretcher. Gone. Forever. So serious. Nobody f***in' talk to me unless you wanna swing. If you wanna fight, text me, call me, whatever. Anybody else stay the f*** outta my face."

The threatening clip ends with her saying, "And if you voted for Trump, literally please delete me, block me, get rid of everything of me — or step to me, so that I know what’s up, and I can handle you how I see fit. Please, just come forward, we f***in' know. Just tell me. Or leave."

In her interview with WTNH, however — which included the interviewer reading some of her threatening words aloud to her — Dunleavy acknowledged, "It sounds very extreme, and again, I was in a moment of high emotions, and I shouldn’t have ever posted the video. But ... the message I was trying to get across, and it came off very wrong was ... if this is going to give people the almost permission in their minds to enact violence against women or anybody, I wanted to basically just say, like, I’m not going to go down without a fight."

The station said Dunleavy also declared that "I will fight for myself, and if someone was to try to hurt me, I would protect myself.”

Another clip of the interview shows Dunleavy in tears: "I mean, you know, it's my life's dream to be a teacher. I consider those kids my kids because I don't have any of my own. And they fill that for me, and it's so fulfilling, it's so rewarding. ... I know that what people see right now, I don't look like that person, but I truly would do anything to help any child and any family in need."

WTNH added that Dunleavy said she's been getting threats and has moved out of her home. She added to the station that Cheshire police — which had launched an investigation into her viral video — told her Wednesday she won't face any charges.

You can view the interview snippet with Dunleavy here. WTNH prefaced the snippet by indicating she "apologized to her students," and the station noted in its story that Dunleavy "is sorry" — but there is no apology from her in the station's video snippet. Perhaps an apology will be part of the full interview with Dunleavy, which WTNH said will air 10 a.m. Sunday.

'I can't unsee the video ... and I can't walk into that school. ... I’m literally shaking, I can't walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person.'

Samantha Rosenberg, chair of the Cheshire Board of Education, said in a written statement that the board recognizes “the intense emotions this situation has stirred," the station reported.

“The Board of Education is united in finding the teacher’s behavior reprehensible and unacceptable, and we are horrified and deeply offended by statements made in the video,” the statement reads in part, WTNH reported.

Prior to Dunleavy resigning, Cheshire Public Schools' Superintendent Jeff Solan said she was placed on leave until the outcome of an investigation, WFSB-TV reported. Solan added that once the video went viral, the district received a large number of calls — mostly from people outside the Cheshire community — and that business couldn't be conducted as usual with the teacher on campus.

WTIC-TV reported that the Cheshire Town Council held a meeting Tuesday night, and some parents said they weren't happy with what was expressed in the video.

WTIC reported that Amy Bourdon — a Cheshire mom whose son with special needs attends school in the district — said, "I saw a woman in crisis, and then when I replayed it a couple of times, I got up from my table and went and locked my front door."

Bourdon — who is a Republican, WTIC said — added that "we are the targets. Our lives have been targeted by an individual that cashes a paycheck from the town of Cheshire every week."

Lorie Barnes told WTIC that “I'm tired of being a Trump supporter and whispering."

Barnes, who's lived in Cheshire all her life, added to WTIC that her grandson will be moving from England and entering the Cheshire school district — and now that terrifies her.

"I can't unsee the video ... and I can't walk into that school. ... I’m literally shaking, I can't walk into that school and hand my kid off to that person," Barnes told WTIC.

Other outbursts from anti-Trump teachers

As Blaze News has previously reported this week, a Southern California high school teacher on the day after the election lashed out in a classroom at a student who was wearing a Trump hat.

Blaze News this week also noted that a teacher at a different Southern California public high school went on a profane rant in his Advanced Placement world history class against Trump the day after the election and was placed on administrative leave.

Leftists' brains BREAKING: Election denial, canceled classes, and cutting off family for the holidays



Every leftist’s nightmare has come true. That is, Donald Trump has won the presidency, and their lives will likely get better because of it.

The devastating loss has Democrats now claiming that the 2024 election has been stolen, as they point out that it appears 20 million voters came out of nowhere in the 2020 election for Joe Biden and have now disappeared.

“PolitiFact even points out, ‘No, 20 million Democratic votes didn’t disappear, and there’s no evidence the 2024 election was stolen,’” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments.

“It’s fascinating to watch all of them now do what they accused us of doing all of this time. We were the election deniers for four years, now they can deny the election, and no one seems to care whatsoever,” he continues.


A survey found that more than half of Harris voters have considered leaving the country after Trump’s win, though 44% of them would like to move but probably won’t. Five percent say they will definitely move and another 5% say they probably will.

“If the reason why you’re worried about potentially moving is because of a federal abortion ban, you could just leave when you need the abortion. These people are not that bright,” Burguiere says. “Go fly somewhere else, and you can escape the little 'Handmaid’s Tale' country we have for you here.”

Leftists are taking Trump’s win so poorly that they’re even canceling classes at their prestigious universities like Harvard, Penn, and Columbia.

The dean of Harvard reportedly told students to let themselves “feel a bunch of emotions about how this is going to impact us in the future and listen to other people and how they feel about it, too.”

“Now, of course, you can’t listen to all other people ‘cause some of them might like it, so don’t listen to those people. But listen to other people who also have b****es and complaints about the election results and the democracy they hold so dear,” Burguiere says.

A Yale psychiatrist is also urging MSNBC viewers to shun Trump voting family members over the holidays. Dr. Amanda Calhoun told viewers that there is a “societal push that if someone is in your family, they are entitled to your time, and I think the answer is absolutely not.”

“If you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why,” Calhoun said.

“There’s only one actual response to that. It is one word long, and it is ‘good,’” Burguiere says.

Leftists should feel free to shun pro-Trump family over holidays for 'mental health,' Yale psychiatry resident tells Joy Reid



Leftists this holiday season should feel free to stay away from family and friends who voted for President-elect Donald Trump in order to take care of their "mental health," a Yale psychiatry resident told MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday.

Reid asked Dr. Amanda Calhoun, “How do you interact with people who you know voted for this? If you are an LGBTQ person and know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing this man was calling people the B-word. [Vice President-elect] JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris 'the trash' and said we’re going to take out 'the trash.' I know a lot of black women were incredibly triggered by that."

'And if you feel like you need to establish boundaries with people, whether they're your family or not, I think you should very much be entitled to do so.'

Reid continued, "And if you then meet somebody, and you know they voted for the people who called you trash, or if you’re Puerto Rican ... and you know someone voted that way, do you recommend just from a psychological standpoint being around them? We got the holidays coming up.”

Calhoun replied that there is a "societal" expectation that "if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not. So if you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you — like what you said, against your livelihood — and it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. You know, to say, 'I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not gonna be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.'"

Calhoun added that she doesn't believe anyone should be forced "to be around people just because they're your family. ... And if you feel like you need to establish boundaries with people, whether they're your family or not, I think you should very much be entitled to do so. And I think it may be essential for your mental health.”

U. Oregon official placed on leave after telling Trump voters 'go f*** yourself,' 'go jump off of a f***ing bridge'



The University of Oregon official who told voters of President-elect Donald Trump "go f*** yourself" and "go jump off of a f***ing bridge" has been placed on administrative leave, the New York Post reported.

“As a public university we take our duty seriously to provide an environment that welcomes diversity of thought and respect in alignment with our education mission,” a university spokesperson told the Post. “While we investigate, we are providing support for concerned students and employees, including resources for mental and emotional health.”

'I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives.'

As Blaze News previously reported, student newspaper the Daily Emerald said assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The paper said Serrato told his followers — some of whom are Oregon students — "You can literally go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f***ing paying job. Do better in life. Get a f***ing education. Do something, 'cause you’re f***ing stupid."

Before he made a sideways peace sign, the video rant ended with him saying, "And I hope you go jump off of a f***ing bridge."

You can view video of the rant included in the Daily Emerald's story here. A photo of Serrato was viewable Thursday on his bio page on the website of the university, which is a public college; however, access to that page was denied Friday morning.

A longer video of the rant begins with the following: "I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually. And so, I say this in the most disrespectful way possible: I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."

The Daily Emerald said Serrato soon made his Instagram account private and declined to comment to the paper.

Previous to Serrato being placed on leave, Oregon spokesperson Eric Howald told the Daily Emerald the “university is currently collecting more information about the situation" and that for now "it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights."

What else do we know about Serrato?

Serrato's LinkedIn profile indicates he's also a hazing prevention speaker. A month ago, Serrato reposted on his LinkedIn page a short item about himself from ForCollegeForLife — and the following excerpt appears to explain why he speaks against hazing:

Leo Serrato could have never imagined he’d be delivering this message.

Before August 31, 2012, his fraternity membership experience had been typical. That night, however, changed everything. One of the new members of his chapter died in an alcohol-related hazing incident. Due to his involvement, Leo was charged and sentenced to jail time, and, because of this, he made it a personal mission to work to end hazing.

He vowed to his brother he would not let his death be in vain.

A 2018 profile story in the Sonoma State Star student newspaper about Serrato — who had just become the new lead campus advisor for fraternity and sorority life at Sonoma State — noted that Serrato "was involved in a hazing related death while attending Fresno State in 2012, where one of his pledges died from excessive drinking caused by hazing."

The Star added that Serrato pleaded "no contest to a misdemeanor charge of hazing and providing alcohol to a minor causing death in 2014. According to the Press Democrat, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Fresno County Jail, 90 days in the county’s adult offender work program, three years probation, and a $220 fine."

Serrato was quoted in the story: “When I was new member educator, one of our new members passed away from a hazing related incident and it was that incident that truly inspired me and opened up my eyes to what my mission and purpose is in life and that is to educated [sic] students on hazing."

Howald on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment asking whether the University of Oregon knew about the charges against Serrato when the school hired him.

Oregon U. official reportedly says 'go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump.' He's also a hazing prevention speaker.



A University of Oregon administrator said, "Go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump," according to a campus newspaper, which included video of the rant in its story.

What's more, the school official also is a hazing prevention speaker who reportedly did jail time over a fatal fraternity hazing incident in 2012.

The Daily Emerald reported that assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after this week's presidential election in which Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."

The Daily Emerald reported that Serrato later posted an Instagram Reel in which he discusses the presidential election results. The paper said he addressed students, including those of “color” and who identify as “LGBTQIA," and encouraged them to “take care of yourself and know that you have my support.”

Trump And Biden Supporters Diverge Vastly On Questions About Marriage And Family, New Poll Shows

The poll asked questions such as whether "society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority."

50 Cent: Black men are 'identifying with Trump'



While most celebrities bend over backwards to hit the right woke talking points when cameras are around, 50 Cent, who's real name is Curtis Jackson, isn't one of them.

Alongside civil rights attorney Ben Crump, 50 Cent visited Capitol Hill this week to meet with Republican and Democrat lawmakers.

While there, 50 Cent was confronted by a CBS reporter.

“We’re heading into another election, so have you made a decision?” the reporter asked the famed rapper.

“I’m not sure how to answer that, that question, to be honest with you,” 50 Cent responded, before telling her he hasn’t made a decision. “What do you see is the significance of African American men in this election?” the reporter then asked.

“I see them identifying with Trump,” he answered.

When asked why he believes that, 50 Cent said, “Because they got RICO charges.”

Dave Rubin knows exactly why 50 Cent believes black men will identify with the former president.

“The system is going after black people, or has been going after black people in a bit of an odd way over the years, and now we see them doing that to Trump,” Rubin says, explaining 50 Cent’s point of view.

“So, Trump is our guy,” he adds.
