'Bad language helps keep you young': 'The View' co-hosts weigh in on Joe Biden's use of curse words and its impact on campaign trail

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The February 3 episode of 'The View' had co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin discuss President Joe Biden's inclination to use curse words after he reportedly swore while talking about Donald Trump behind closed doors.

"Look out America, we have a new national threat. It's Jock Brandon," began Behar, introducing the subject at the Hot Topics table.

"Personally, I think using bad language helps keep you young. That's just my opinion. And let's face it Trump would make Mother Teresa curse up a storm because he is so annoying and difficult," she stated, before asking if the others felt that this particular habit of the incumbent may help him on his campaign trail.

Sunny Hostin has changed her position on Presidents cursing

Hostin believed that Biden should authentically be himself during the campaign, even if it involves using strong language.

"We know that this is Joe, this is how he speaks behind closed doors. It's not even behind closed doors anymore, it is how he speaks," she said. "I used to think that certainly, the President should have a little more decorum, and I tend to like that..."

"They never do though," interrupted Behar. "I mean, Lyndon Johnson used to talk to people while he was on the toilet bowl."

"I guess I'm thinking about Barack Obama and his eloquence," responded Hostin, with a smile. "But I will say, I used to think that people who used cuss words had less of a vocabulary - you taught me that."

"Because Joy cusses all the time," she explained to the audience, as Behar agreed with her. "So Joy sent me a study that said swearing is a sign of honesty, cursing is a sign of intelligence, and swearing is also a sign of verbal superiority."

"That's right! It's true," seconded Behar enthusiastically.

Griffin, in her response, mentioned that displaying "more passion" could benefit Biden in reaching more "gettable" voters. Hostin interjected at that moment, questioning whether former President Donald Trump used profanity frequently.

"He does," shared Griffin, "He's like Whoopi where every other word is swearing off-air, but somehow (they) can turn it off. That's why I don't really swear off-air because I'm afraid I'll do it on-air."

Goldberg was taking a day off from the show, as Navarro told Griffin, "Oh you're so lucky Whoopi ain't here when you're comparing her with Trump," and earned a rousing laughter.

"To be clear, they are very different people," clarified Griffin, as Behar joked, "Hey, don't start trouble Ana."

Griffin concluded by saying that it was "smart" for the incumbent president to show some "rage" and "passion" to win the election.
