Donald Trump’s presidency sparked a shock wave of violence, according to the women of “The View.” Following the shocking assault of comedian Dave Chappelle on Tuesday, host Sunny Hostin blamed Trump as the catalyst behind a spate of brazen attacks, claiming that he “released some incivility” across the country. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg prompted Hostin’s accusation during Wednesday’s episode, asking “The View” panel, “What do you think is happening? I mean, it’s happening on airplanes, it’s happening on street corners.”
