Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha slammed President Donald Trump‘s critics, like political commentator James Carville and hosts from The View, for their attacks on his administration.
Vice President JD Vance joined The View on Tuesday as the first Republican vice president to sit on the show. He noted his previous criticisms about Trump, but maintained that a lot of the things said about the president aren’t true.
Concha said the hosts continuously interrupted Vance, and agreed with Fox News host Sean Hannity that every time it seemed Vance was getting to an answer, the show took a break of some sort.
“Overall, these ladies, so-called ‘ladies,’ wanted a food fight. They wanted some screaming match to go viral, and JD Vance is simply too smart, too mature, and too charming in this case, to get down in the mud,” Concha said on Fox News’s Hannity Tuesday.
The View co-host Sunny Hostin said, “black history is being erased from public spaces.” Vance fired back, “That is not right.”
Concha said co-host Whoopi Goldberg “stammered for several awkward seconds” as she tried to think of specific examples.
“He [Vance] looked like the mature adult, and everybody else there looked, well, insane,” Concha said.
Other critics of the Trump administration include political commentator James Carville.
Carville is best known for leading former President Bill Clinton to victory in 1992 against incumbent President George H.W. Bush. Carville coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
Carville claimed he believes Trump is going to abandon the presidency.
“I’m telling you, this guy, by Easter of 2027, is just going to walk away from this job. Just going to f***ing walk away,” Carville said on Politicon Sunday.
Carville also said Trump is going to face “massive rejection.”
Concha said Carville has only “benefitted from riding one person’s coattails,” and criticized Democrats for supporting Carville from a campaign years ago.
“Since then, legacy media has treated James Carville like he’s the next Nostradamus when it comes to political predictions,” Concha said.

Concha said Carville incorrectly predicted Al Gore would win the Electoral College in 2000; that John Kerry would defeat George W. Bush in a landslide in 2004; that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee in 2008; that Clinton would defeat Trump in 2016, and that Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election.
“Maybe we stop paying attention to this person when it comes to predictions. This guy doesn’t need a microphone; he needs a melty, as in Dr. Melty, a shrink, to take care of what is clearly major TDS and mental issues at this point,” Concha said.
