Joy Behar claimed on Thursday that President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of non-violent drug offender Alice Marie Johnson at least in part because he saw something in it for himself.
She said on ABC’s “The View” that he likely made the move in order to gain popularity with the social media following of reality star Kim Kardashian West, who advocated for Johnson’s release.
Sara Haines said that Kardashian, who met with the president a week earlier to discuss prison reform and to plead Johnson’s case for clemency, deserved a lot of the credit for bringing it to fruition. She explained, “This is an instance where she used her platform and educated herself, and I say bravo.”
