Rattled Joy Behar: 'The View' Is the Only ‘Check’ on President Trump!

A clearly rattled Joy Behar on Wednesday reacted to the election of Donald Trump as President by declaring, seriously, that The View will be the only remaining check on the businessman’s total power. She began by inaccurately stating, “What scares me the most... is that not since George W. Bush has there been a White House, a Senate and a House of Representatives all from the same party.” (Not true. Barack Obama’s Democratic Party controlled the White House, the Senate and the House in the President’s first two years.)

After complaining about the FBI sticking “its nasty little nose in the middle of this election,” Behar insisted, “ So the only checks and balances we have are us, The View. That's it!”

A few minutes later, the View’s Sara Haines, a Good Morning America weekend co-host, conceded to being in a journalistic bubble:

SARA HAINES: I think the scary part for me was maybe being caught off guard that I wasn't in touch with the country I live in and that maybe I am in a bubble. When critics come out on social media and say you don't know what the world's about. sadly, I woke up and I thought maybe I don't. It really was like a punch in the gut.

Later, Whoopi Goldberg worried about what “this fool” will do on abortion, fretting over “my right to decide what is right for my body, not what somebody else says what is right.”

A partial transcript is below:

The Shrew? That program on ABC-Disney that used the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing to spread the BS that it was all a hoax?

BULLSTALIN biddies.

Those idiots on The View just get dumber and dumber by the minute.

So do the housewives who watch it, and they vote (Rat).

[FreedomPoster]

Wow. These people are completely delusional and have a YUGELY overinflated view of their own importance.

Whoopi said she can afford to leave, why did she show up for work today?

Agree. She should be held accountable for what she said. She needs to leave this country. That is why so many millions of people voted for Trump. She promised to get the hell ou of here.

Later, Whoopi Goldberg worried about what “this fool” will do on abortion, fretting over “my right to decide what is right for my body, not what somebody else says what is right.”

Miss Whoopi (not her real name) has previously admitted to having had 6 or 7 abortions (saying each was a difficult decision, so difficult she can't even remember the number herself).

So these people feel what so many of us have felt for so many years.

“Later, Whoopi Goldberg worried about what “this fool” will do on abortion, fretting over “my right to decide what is right for my body, not what somebody else says what is right.”

You have the right to decide to use contraception, or abstain, if you don't want to have a baby. There are consequences to actions. If a man gets a woman pregnant, he is responsible as well, and has a legal financial responsibility - in addition to the moral responsibility, to help provide for that child.

Mindless about sums it up.

Democrat slime in full ooze mode!

[cgbg]

The show might work as an Onion like satire of stupid leftists.

“Trump’s gonna have cops knocking down my door to steal my fetus before I abort it!”

;-)

Can you say “exaggerated sense of self-importance”?

I thought you could...

[WayneS]

Mine trembles in its drawer at the mere mention of her name.

[jsanders2001]

I hate the old white guilt liberals the worst. Especially the females. Out of touch, almost always Jewish and wealthy and make their decsions diametrically in opposition to what is best for their own People. Most seem to hate the people of their own heritage back in Israel as though they are ashamed of them. Its almost as if they side with the Palestinians and want to see Israel nuked. I dont get it but then I'm not Jewish.

I'm surprised Behar can see through the spackle all over her face on set.

lol, My lib friends are in full panic mode, they were saying this could change the world and I would smile and say yep..

[Pecos]

Obviously the comment of a person who has never read the Constitution, proving herself to be either uneducated or an idiot.

[Clutch Martin]

“I saw a werewolf in SoHo in the rain; his hair was perfect” - Zero

if they serve booze on the show they could almost be an episode Absolutely Fabulous....

Whenever I see this show in Waiting rooms on the TV installed or other places (public of course), I sometimes remind myself that those folks up on that screen are actors and comedians and entertainment industry know-nothings and I feel much better.

[EinNYC]

Aw, shaddup you bunch of libtard harridans. You are lucky to have half a brain between all of you.

[jmcenanly]

The View is basically the Weird Sisters from Macbeth without the sense or cooking skills.

[Jack Hammer]

Clearly, she has no problems with low self-esteem.

[VaeVictis]

Wow, The View does comedy now?

“...I wasn’t in touch with the country I live in...”

You weren’t in touch with the country because you didn’t want to be. You preferred to live in you arrogant, east coast, know better than anybody else, bubble. Well, you have the opportunity now to learn. Are you going to? Personally, I doubt it.
