MAUREEN CALLAHAN: On shamelessly biased The View, women voting GOP are 'roaches', Fetterman is just fine and Oz is a bully. Yet its patronizing arrogance is precisely the reason a red wave is coming

CALLAHAN: Six years after Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters 'a basket of deplorables' - one of the greatest self-inflicted campaign wounds in modern American history - women on the left are doubling down. Let me qualify that: High-profile, wealthy, smug, self-regarding women in media and in office (for now) are doing so. If you saw Fetterman's remote appearance on 'The View' Friday morning, you'd understand why. Softball after softball was lobbed at Fetterman, even by the show's two Republican hosts, the effects of his stroke sanded away, his cognitive abilities, they said, not at issue, his opponent Oz 'a bully,' and that most troubling 'shotgun' incident, of course, never mentioned. And that brings us to co-host Sunny Hostin, one of the most insufferable talking heads today. After calling for a complete eradication of the Republican party on 'The View' last summer - calling it the party of 'white supremacy… insurrectionists… [and] massacre at this point,' she then said on Thursday that women voting for Republicans are akin to 'roaches voting for Raid.' Are roaches the new deplorables?
