Joy Behar: Democrats Lost Senate Races Due to Gerrymandering

Joy Behar frequently puts her ignorance on display but on Wednesday's The View, she went above and beyond her usual lack of knowledge. In discussing the midterm elections with ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd, Behar wore her constitutional scholar mantle to observe that the Democrats lost the Senate races in the midterms the day before due to gerrymandering.

It was such an appalling ignorant observation that even guest Matthew Dowd attempted to correct her as politely as possible as you can see:

DOWD: Democrats won the popular vote last night by 8 million votes. But they lose U.S. Senate races in red areas ---

BEHAR: Because of gerrymandering...

And so that left Dowd with the task of gently correcting Behar although he could be forgiven if he had screamed "IGNORANT DOLT!" at her:

DOWD: It’s not gerrymandering, that’s the Constitution. The districts are gerrymandered but states are part of the Constitution.

Meanwhile, Joy was nodding her head as if she actually understood what Dowd was telling her about something called the Constitution. Perhaps she still needs new Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to translate it for her into the street talk that she more readily understands.

“... at least half of their audience will actually believe the Joy-less one.”

I think you’re way too optimistic there. I would bet that it’s 99 44/100% do believe her. One has to be really ignorant to even watch that show.

Nasty Republicans probably gerrymandered all 57 states Obama visited while campaigning for President. No wonder they control the Senate!

To one and all, it’s even worse, they EXPORT this ignorance, via when I was visiting Australia, they played the view on the local TV station(s.) I was visiting Sydney, Australia. Clintoon was President at the time. Remember going into a store that sold high end chocolate(s), the women / owner had a pic of Clintoon. I asked her you like that guy? She fawned over him. I then asked her: where do you keep your golden knee pads. She wasn’t too amused, but she GOT THE POINT!!!!

I wonder if anyone ever explained it to her. Probably not.
