Do you think 'The View' is an intellectually stimulating show?

The co-hosts of “The View” discussed the Civil War and emancipation during a Veterans Day conversation about American service members and wars. Sunny Hostin said enslaved people “basically emancipated themselves” because they wanted freedom and fought for it. When Whoopi Goldberg said, “You have to give it to Abe,” Joy Behar responded, “Abe?” and Goldberg clarified that she meant former President Abraham Lincoln. It was unclear whether Behar was asking for confirmation or did not recognize the reference.
