is revenge.”Behar played a clip of Trump telling a Univision reporter that when he gets back into power, the alleged weaponization of the Department of Justice against him “could certainly happen in reverse.”“What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box,” the former president added, during the sit down, prompting the ladies of “The View” to contemplate how that will impact the country and even their show.After the clip ended, co-host Ana Navarro remarked, “I don’t know, but if he’s weaponizing government against his opponents, boy, are we in trouble.”Behar responded by stating Trump’s remarks reminded her of “Nixon’s enemy list,” while co-host Sunny Hostin added that it’s like “history repeating itself” and seems like a repeat of “McCarthyism” and feels like “J. Edgar Hoover’s list.”Behar warned Trump supporters about electing this revenge tour, stating, “Don’t his supporters see that he turns on people that are in his corner? If you dare to go against him even this much, he goes bananas on you.”Hostin chimed in, calling Trump’s ambitions the sign of a “dictatorship,” and Behar added that Trump voters “will be the next victims of this vitriol.”Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin added her two cents, claiming, “Donald Trump is running for president for two reasons: to stay out of jail, and to get revenge on his enemies.
Former ‘DWTS’ Host Tom Bergeron Told Execs Not to Get Political, Then Got ‘Betrayed’ by Sean Spicer Casting: ‘They Had Screwed Me. I’m Gonna Screw Them’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Former “Dancing With the Stars” host Tom Bergeron reunited with dancer and franchise veteran Cheryl Burke on the latter’s “Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) and reflected on his tumultuous exit from the long-running ABC reality competition series. Bergeron was the original host of the program and led the show for 28 seasons. He parted ways with “DWTS” after the 2019 season because the show executives did not listen to his advice about staying out of politics and cast Sean Spicer, the hugely controversial former press secretary for President Donald Trump, to compete.
“In the summer of 2019, I had two lunches — one with that showrunner person and another one with his boss,” Bergeron remembered. “I said, ‘Well look, 2019 is the threshold to an election year in America, we are a very divided country. Just nobody, of any party, don’t go there — just make us the wonderful escape from all that divisiveness for two hours a week.” “And then a few weeks later, I get a phone call,” he continued.
“And they rundown the list of who is going to be on the show, and this former showrunner says to me, ‘You might want to sit down for this last one.’ And then they told me who it was, the former press guy for Trump. I said, ‘Guys, this is exactly what we said we wouldn’t do. Don’t go there.
