The panel on ABC's "The View" attacked incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Friday but could not name his exact job or what he will do while serving in the Trump administration.
Jedediah Bila set the stage by talking about Russia's interference in the 2016 election through cyber attacks.
"We do know that the Russians rigged it," Whoopi Goldberg said.
Bila then reiterated her point, arguing it is hypocritical that President-elect Donald Trump changes his stances on what American institutions are trustworthy. She said that Trump called much of the American system corrupt on the campaign trail before saying the Electoral College is trustworthy after his win, which came before questioning the conclusions of the intelligence community on Russia's involvement in the cyber breaches.
Joy Behar then asked what Michael Flynn's job is.
"What's Flynn's job?" she asked. "What is Michael Flynn's job, what is he?"
No one could answer.
Sara Haines then took a shot that was close to correct.
"He was the–national security?" she asked, looking at Bila for help.
"I don't know what his exact title is," she said.
Behar continued, saying that Flynn is in a high-level position but retweeting fake news.
Seconds later, both Haines and Bila were able to name Flynn's job title.
"National security adviser," Haines said.
Behar underscored the importance of his job, but then could not name what the position entails.
She said twice that she did not know, but continued to attack Flynn anyway.
"I'm trying to say this guy, Michael Flynn, who's in a very important position, has retweeted like hundreds of times, I don't know, this false information that the Russian hackers put out about Hillary Clinton, that she was involved in some sex scandal somewhere," Behar said. "And this guy who's running–I don't know, maybe the Army–I don't know, he's now retweeting information."
No one else chimed in to describe what Flynn will do as the national security adviser to the president.
"I mean, what's going on?" Behar asked.
Flynn, a retired lieutenant general in the Army, served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014. He will serve as the national security adviser to Donald Trump after the president-elect's inauguration on Jan. 20. Flynn's position, which broadly involves working in the White House as the president's chief adviser on national security issues, does not require Senate confirmation.
