'The View' debates Biden's friendly meeting with Trump after heated campaign rhetoric

"This is what you do, you show up, you shake hands, and you prove that the democracy stands. The voters decided, you show up and you pass it off," co-host Sara Haines said. "There are a lot of people having this conversation and I would say that faux rage of like 'This is normalizing,' that moment is gone."

She continued to reconcile the meeting and said she still believes Trump is a threat to democracy and Griffin agreed, noting that she was providing a different perspective. 

However, Hostin praised Biden as a "statesman," and said he was setting an example for the president-elect.

"It's not going to work," Hostin added.

Charlamagne tha God also questioned the Trump visit during his show, "The Breakfast Club," and wondered what happened to "'the threat to democracy' talk."

"I'm just trying to figure out, how do you go from, 'He's an existential threat to democracy' to 'Welcome back'?" he said.
