Michelle Obama may have skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral in order to stay on vacation, but the Friday cast of ABC’s The View cheered the former first lady’s decision to also skip Donald Trump’s inauguration. Sunny Hostin claimed such pettiness was a needed correction from Michelle’s “when they go low, we go high” mantra, while Joy Behar wondered why the former presidents will dignify the event with their presence since the Germans also voted for Hitler.

Later on in the discussion, Behar turned to the former presidents, “I just want to say, this is not a normal inauguration. This is not a normal person. He's a convicted felon. Why do they go as if this is a normal inauguration? It's not.”
Sara Haines, who earlier defended Michelle’s decision to skip, actually got a bit animated, “Because the weakness it presents to the friggin' globe, when you have presidents that say just because this we’re not going to—America voted—the normalizing of President Trump happened when the American public went out and voted.”
