After Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis in response to the swelling anti-ICE protests happening after an agent’s deadly shooting of U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good, the cohosts of The View shared their reactions during Thursday’s (January 15) first “Hot Topic” discussion. Joy Behar, in particular, revealed a grim perspective on that and the current state of the country at large.

After reviewing footage of a violent clash between ICE agents and protesters in the Twin Cities, along with a message from the city’s mayor calling for “peace,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg insisted Trump invoking the act would be “adding fuel to the fire” before inviting her cohosts to speak to the issue.
