Joy Behar Doubts Trump’s Claims About His “Excellent” Health On ‘The View’: “Rambling, Sweating Clown”
Joy Behar had some strong words for former president Donald Trump on this morning’s episode of The View. While discussing his disparaging remarks over the weekend about his opponents, Behar ripped Trump as a dictator lover and warned of the danger of his words.
Alyssa Farah Griffin offered her take first, saying Trump’s 2024 agenda is “scary,” before issuing a call to action for other Republicans.
“He’s talking about rounding up millions of people, putting them in camps, talking about carrying out revenge on four-star generals,” Griffin said. “It’s time to wake up, and I implore Tim Scott and Mike Pence — my friends, men I think highly of — you need to endorse somebody other than Donald Trump because the window is closing to stop him.”
Behar then joined in and quoted Trump’s Veteran’s Day speech, which he delivered on Saturday (Nov. 11) in New Hampshire.
Among his remarks was the comment that Trump plans to “root out … the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” per The New York Times.
Behar read the quote aloud, then told the panel, “When you start talking about people as vermin, that means that you have dehumanized them and the next step is extermination. That is extermination talk.”
Whoopi Goldberg cut in to add, “It’s fascist talk. Let’s call it what it is,” as Behar read off the response to Trump’s speech from the Biden campaign: “On a weekend when most Americans were honoring our nation’s heroes, Donald Trump parroted the autocratic language of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.”

Behar then added her own reply to Trump’s speech, telling the panel, “It is not hyperbole to say that he is on the same track as all fascist dictators.”
She added, “He is a lover of dictators and that’s what he will be. And why do people still vote for him? Every day I ask myself the question. It’s about racism and taxes, and the Republican Congress, it’s about retaining power and being in their jobs, and that’s all that they are about. And we must do something about it now!”
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
