(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) As a follow up to President Biden’s State of the Union address, “The View” invited Chelsea Clinton on the show.
The segment covered Clinton’s opinion on the address, lawsuits against former President Trump and how her mother, Hillary Clinton, should sue Fox News, reported NewsBusters.
“It was wonderful for me to see that your mother recently took on the former, twice-impeached, disgraced president for spreading lies about her and accusing her of spying on his campaign, which we all know is false,” host Sunny Hostin said.
“Well, most of us know,” she added.
Clinton responded, commenting on how her mother “also took on Fox News,” suggesting their coverage of Special Counsel John Durham‘s filings was done with “actual malice.”
After the Durham filing, the entire cast of “The View” urged Hillary Clinton to sue Fox news for covering the story.
“Actual malice is actually the standard for defamation if you are defaming a famous person, and she’s certainly is somebody that is famous in the public eye,” Hostin responded. “So, it’s a very high standard but she’s telling them, ‘you’re actually reaching this legal standard.’ And I’m sure Fox’s lawyers were listening to that kind of thing.”
The bar for a defamation lawsuit is not “actual malice,” as Hostin claimed. However, if it were, “The View” would be sued constantly.
The group also discussed the State of the Union address, calling it “bipartisan” and “American.”
Twitter users had several thoughts on the younger Clinton’s appearance:
I really think having a person who has never held a job her parents didn’t nudge to happen is telling. Because she has nothing to offer anyone, at all. ever.

Chelsea Clinton is a spoiled little rich girl who should climb out of her Ivory Tower and really see how Americans are suffering under this nut Biden and the crazy progressive radicals who are destroying America

She seemed to enjoy referring to trump as twice impeached president. She may not remember this but her dad was also an impeached disgraced president. Truly amazing that she would lose than term but that’s a clinton
