Ardently anti-Trump View co-host Joy Behar rushed to socialism’s aid during the panel’s discussion about Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, claiming that the right had "distorted" its true meaning. Behar also boasted that Democrats actually do want President Trump to fail as payback for ruining the country.

Co-host Abby Huntsman cited the positive reaction to Trump’s address and argued that Democrats should abandon socialism because it wasn’t a winning strategy to win over independents. That struck a nerve with Joy Behar, who proceeded to “correct” her:

“I have to say the word Socialist is becoming a buzzword like liberal and feminist where the right wing is now taking that word and distorting it. So every time you use it I'm going to interrupt you,” she lectured, as the audience clapped in approval.

“How is what Ocasio-Cortez is saying --” Huntsman started to retort but was drowned out by the other co-hosts.

“Yeah, it is being used, its being weaponized,” Sunny Hostin agreed with Behar, who added, “It's being bastardized, that word. Nobody really understands it!”

Please, Joy, by all means, edumacate us.

[Pox]

Not necessarily.

Venezuelans voted in these commies and even though they have had their country run into the ground, many who flee and end up here in U.S. will likely continue to vote against their better interests when confronted with the same promises they fell for the last time.

Not all will learn from this mistake. Human nature.

[Carriage Hill]

Yep, that’s her.

[DoughtyOne]

Oh Joy will explain it to us...

Stand back...

[Jeff Chandler]

I have to say the word Socialist is becoming a buzzword like liberal and feminist

It's beginning to mean "Democrat."

You have to remember when leftists tout socialism, they are talking about the socialism as practiced in the white Nordic areas. They are embarrby the brown socialism of central and South America and the black socialism of many African countries.

Ot seems the consensus is that only white people can get socialism right.

[Sgt_Schultze]

embarrby = embarrassed by

[Old Yeller]

Venezuelans are understanding socialism.

[PistolPaknMama]

Nobody really understands it!

Yeah, I've been meaning for about 20 years to tune into that show so Behar could school me on socialism. I just keep finding something better to do.

I’m sure Joy and the stage janitor get paid the same (rolling eyes).

Don't forget the left's word of hatred: Fascist. They ignore that Mussolini was a loyal socialist and editor if the Italian socialist party newspaper until WW I broke out and he saw that as an opportunity for Italy to take culturally Italian areas of Austria-Hungary. He left the party over desire for an interventionist foreign policy and not for any disagreement with the idea of government ownership of the means of production.

"Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state". That sounds much more like Joy Behar's ideal than Donald Trump's.

Rush is 100% correct, we cannot negociate with these people, they need to be defeated.

[Reily]

Here’s what a real fascist believes! (They still exist!)

I doubt the Rats would have too much trouble with these domestic policies!

[Kickass Conservative]

Give me all your Money there Joy and I’ll make sure the right People benefit from it. Trust me.

[Jim Noble]

Well, true socialism has never really been tried. /s

[ronnie raygun]

The jews in the concentration came would have did away with her before the Nazis had a chance

Behar also boasted that Democrats actually do want President Trump to fail as payback for ruining the country.

Ruining the country? Hmmm... maybe Ms. Behar should read this.

Then, to bring her blood pressure back in control, she can read this.

For those keeping score:

Ruining the country? Doubt it!
