The co-hosts of "The View" were all in agreement over one thing this morning: President Donald Trump's politically-charged speech for the Boy Scouts was inappropriate.
Speaking at the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia on Monday night, Trump made references to the economy, Obamacare, "fake news," Hillary Clinton and even promised to make "Merry Christmas" happen during his controversial speech.
Whoopi Goldberg's reaction: "What the hell is going on here?"

View Story"For the past 80 years, presidents have taken part in the Boy Scouts Jamboree, where they've extolled the virtues of citizenship, service and community while staying very far away from politics," she continued, "But the new guy, he just couldn't let it be the Boy Scout Jamboree!"
Sara Haines, who has a brother and grandfather in the Scouts, said Trump "seemed like he didn't prepare himself for the audience he was speaking to. This is not the place to throw down politics. This is not a group to campaign to."
"Do you think people are embarrassed, people who voted for him?" asked Sunny Hostin.

View Story"Yes! Forget about people who voted for him, I didn't vote for him and I'm embarrassed," Jedediah Bila responded. "I feel like I wake up every day and have to apologize for this guy because I'm proud of my country but this behavior is insane."
Bila pointed out how the Scouts had to release a statement saying their Trump invitation was a "long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies."
"They fact they had to say that after a president of the United States came there, he should be humiliated," Jed continued. "This is not a campaign rally and he does know the difference."

👉🏾@realDonaldTrump had the Boy Scouts booing the only woman he singled out, his 'opponent.' That, among other things, was disgusting.

Trump's ability to be a self-aggrandizing asshole during every waking moment, no matter how inappropriate, is truly amazing.#BoyScoutSpeech

I always thought the whole point of Boy Scouts was to not grow up to be a complete douchebag.#BoyScoutSpeech

As an Eagle Scout, it scares me to think about the impact Trump could have on our nation's children. #BoyScoutSpeech #TuesdayThoughts #USA

#BoyScoutSpeech #BoyscoutJamboree Is it just me or did Trump's Boy Scout speech remind you of the Nuremberg rallies, Brownshirts and all?

Someone point out to clueless #45 that by the time most of the Boy Scouts are old enough to vote, he will be a faded memory. #BoyScoutSpeech
