'The View' Debates 'SNL' Writer Firing And Whoopi Takes On Taylor Swift Backlash Over Women's March (Video)

The women of "The View" debated whether the President's kids should be off limits in comedy, after "Saturday Night Live" writer Katie Rich was suspended by the show for mocking the First Son on Twitter. Rich came under fire after she tweeted out, "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter" over the weekend.

"You can't hold a 10 year old responsible for the idiocy of his dad," said Goldberg. "He didn't ask to come. Blame the dad, but also pay attention when you discover that Comey, the FBI director, is being kept on. So those are the things, if you want to attack some stuff, let's go after that! Not the kid!"

While Jedediah Bila, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Joy Behar all agreed that Barron shouldn't be a target, Joy was angry over reaction to Rich's tweet.

"We're holding a comedy writer accountable and the President of the United States says much worse things and he becomes the president. There's a double standard here," she said.

"The tweet had something to do with violence ... then Donald Trump in 2016 said the following, 'Hillary wants to essentially abolish the second amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks, although maybe the second amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know,'" Behar said, citing a speech where the President seemingly incited violence.

"Maybe the president gets away with it because he has the mentality of a 10 year old," she added, with Whoopi chiming in that Joy's statement gives "most 10 year olds a bad name."

Also in the episode, the women discussed the avalanche of backlash against Taylor Swift for not taking part in the Women's March D.C. over the weekend. Though Swift did send out a tweet in supporter of participating protest, she was criticized for showing "spineless feminism" by not attending.

"You have no right to criticize her for not doing what you would be doing," chastised Whoopi. "We don't know where she was, what she was doing, she at least acknowledged it. There were a lot of famous chicks who said nothing. Not everybody can do what we do, the way we do it. She was doing girl power before there was a march."

But Hostin still took issue with the Swift sitch.

"I don't have a problem with Taylor Swift being apolitical, I don't have a problem with Taylor Swift not attending the march, I do have a problem with Taylor Swift dipping in her toe to become somewhat political, but then getting right out of the water," she said.

"I think she has been very vocal about being a feminist ... but I also think when you have that platform and you've already put yourself out there, then it's up to you to do the most that you could possibly do and I don't know that she did," she continued.
