NY Post
Co-hosts of “The View” quickly interjected to clarify that author, former lawyer John Grisham was not talking about assassinating Supreme Court judges during a recent guest appearance on their show.
“I wrote a great book called ‘The Pelican Brief’ in which two Supreme Court Justices were assassinated, and I’ve thought about doing it again!” Grisham said during a Wednesday guest appearance on ABC’s “The View,” sparking laughter from the audience.
“No, no, no, no!” co-host Joy Behar quickly replied.
“Writing part two!” Goldberg clarified along with other hosts. “He’s talking about writing part two!”
Grisham then said to the audience “It’s all fiction. Don’t get upset.”
“It’s just fiction,” Behar said, echoing his phrasing. “It’s just made up stories.”
