During Monday’s episode of “The View,” the panel exchanged thoughts on Senator Bernie Sanders’ recent performance in Democratic voting contests, particularly his landslide victory in the Nevada caucuses last weekend. 
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/meghan-mccain-confronts-joy-behar-for-saying-she-was-never-all-in-for-bernie-sanders">Washington Examiner</a>, while co-host Whoopi Goldberg emphasized that most of the states still need to cast ballots before the Democrats nominate a candidate, Meghan McCain hammered the importance of Sanders’ victory margins and what they mean for the long-term future the Democratic Party. 
“Bernie leading in the way that he is right now, or at least garnering this huge momentum of popularity, it’s very honest. For conservatives, this is where I think Democrats are at,” McCain told The View. “I think the era of the moderate Democrat is long-gone. I think it’s full socialism, all day long, and at least we now know, as conservatives, that it’s going to be the Squad, and AOC.”
Co-host Joy Behar wasn’t buying McCain’s argument, dismissively saying “I don’t know if that’s true.” 
Nonetheless, McCain continued to name prominent socialists, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who has endorsed the candidate, and then proceeded to draw the point home with a particularly devastating reminder. 
“That is what I believe,” McCain told the panel, before quipping to Behar: “You love him, you named your dog after him.” As the crowd erupts into laughter, McCain drove the point home, saying “She did, you love him.”
After the laughter subsided, Behar explained why she decided to name her lapdog “Bernie Behar,” and insisted that the name wasn’t a tribute to the socialist, but a joke. 
“First of all, I was never all-in on Bernie,” responded Behar, referring to the Vermont senator. “I named my dog after him, it was a joke. I also said I was aroused by him, and that was really a joke. But, I think that at that time, I thought Hillary was a shoe-in, so I was having fun with Bernie. Now, I’m not so sure.”
As <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/256923-joy-behar-i-am-aroused-by-sanders">The Hill</a> observed in 2015, co-host Joy Behar was “swooning” after Sanders defended Hillary Clinton after she was asked about her email scandal in a Democratic primary debate in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
“I thought that Bernie was so mensch-y in that moment, like a real guy. I actually am aroused by him,” Behar told the panel. “I’m serious. I find him to be eye candy, not ear candy, eye candy,” said Behar, who also said that her ideal “type of guy” is an “old Jewish guy who’s a socialist.”
McCain and Behar’s discussion about socialism comes as one of the nation’s two leading political parties comes to grips with the fact that a self-avowed democratic socialist is leading the Democratic primary field, and may become the party’s nominee for president of the United States. 
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-praises-murderous-communist-dictator-fidel-castro-had-massive-literacy-program">The Daily Wire</a> reported earlier this week, Bernie Sanders has been facing backlash after he praised the literacy programs of Fidel Castro, the former Cuban murderous communist dictator, during an episode of “60 Minutes” with Anderson Cooper. 
“Back in the 1980s, Sanders had some positive things to say about the former Soviet Union and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua,” Cooper said while narrating during the segment. “Here he is explaining why the Cuban people didn’t rise up and help the U.S. overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro: ‘… he educated their kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society, you know?&#8217;”
“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Sanders told Anderson Cooper during an episode of 60 Minutes. “You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”
“A lot of dissidents imprisoned in Cuba,” Cooper responded.

On Friday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The View,&#8221; co-host Joy Behar complained about President Donald Trump&#8217;s impeachment acquittal in the Senate, comparing the president to alleged wife-murderer O.J. Simpson.
The co-host also said Trump&#8217;s &#8220;winning,&#8221; confessing that he&#8217;s made her &#8220;crazy&#8221; and &#8220;nuttier and nuttier.&#8221;
&#8220;By the way, acquittal, acquitted, doesn&#8217;t mean you didn&#8217;t commit a crime,&#8221; Behar said on Friday. &#8220;Three words: O.J. Simpson.&#8221;
After shocking the audience by ripping out her ear piece, Behar continued to complain, &#8220;I&#8217;m crazy, today. He&#8217;s made me crazy, this week.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, he&#8217;s winning because I&#8217;m getting nuttier and nuttier,&#8221; the host added.

On Wednesday, President Trump was acquitted on both articles of impeachment in the Senate. Nearly every Republican voted &#8220;not guilty,&#8221; save for one &#8220;guilty&#8221; vote from Trump critic and Utah Senator Mitt Romney on the &#8220;abuse of power&#8221; impeachment article.
In a hand-signed letter sent to each Republican senator, Romney claimed he was acting to uphold his oath before God.
“As a Senator-juror, I swore an oath, before God, to exercise ‘impartial justice,&#8217;” the twice-failed presidential candidate wrote. “I am a profoundly religious person. I take an oath before God as enormously consequential. I knew from the outset that being tasked with judging the president, the leader of my own party, would be the most difficult decision I have ever faced. I was not wrong.”
“Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and disruptive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine,” said Romney.
“As it is with each senator, my vote is an act of conviction,” he concluded. “We have come to different conclusions, fellow senators, but I trust we have all followed the dictates of our conscience.”
Behar is no fan of President Trump, or anyone on the Right, for that matter.
In 2016, for example, Behar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/view-co-host-id-vote-rapist-over-conservative-amanda-prestigiacomo">argued</a> that it was preferable to vote for men who&#8217;ve allegedly raped or killed women than vote for a conservative.
The co-host was referencing former President Bill Clinton, who was accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick, and former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA).
Here&#8217;s the partial transcript via <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2016/01/05/joy-behar-id-vote-rapist-long-theyre-liberal?platform=hootsuite#.9sl4tnp:8vLH">NewsBusters</a>:
<blockquote>BEHAR: It puts her in a bind. On the other hand, it’s her policies that really matter. Like, Republicans have voted against the Violence Against Women Act. Now, that to me, is more important than anything that Bill Clinton did or didn’t do because it’s what she’s going to vote for, how she’s going to lead the country that matters more than that. On the other hand, he is a dog. Let’s face it. 
…
BEHAR: People have to understand, it’s policy. Teddy Kennedy. Remember Chappaquiddick? Am I the oldest person in the room? Chappaquiddick. I mean, a girl drowns and he abandons her and she drowned and women still voted for Teddy Kennedy. Why? Because he voted for women’s rights. That’s why. That’s the bottom line of it in my opinion. I mean, I don’t like either one of them, to tell you the truth, Teddy or Bill. They’re both dogs as far as I’m concerned. But I still will vote for Bill Clinton because he votes in my favor.</blockquote>

The View

In an appearance on &#8220;The View&#8221; on Monday, comedian and actor Tim Allen addressed how the politically correct &#8220;thought police&#8221; have influenced how he approaches his stand-up comedy in recent years.
Allen, whose popular right-leaning show &#8220;Last Man Standing&#8221; was famously canceled by ABC in 2017 despite excellent ratings, sparking allegations of political bias on the part of the network, brought up the &#8220;thought police&#8221; after co-host and fellow comedian Joy Behar asked him about how he handles the &#8220;PC culture&#8221; that is so strongly influencing comedy these days.
&#8220;So what do you think now?&#8221; asked Behar. &#8220;I mean it&#8217;s a little bit different now — there&#8217;s a PC culture out there [that] makes it really hard. I think my act, if I brought that old act back, I&#8217;d be driven out of town.&#8221;
Allen responded by saying he grew up watching comedians Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. &#8220;You can&#8217;t even go back and talk about the book he wrote,&#8221; Allen lamented in reference to Pryor.
&#8220;What I got to do sometimes is explain — which I hate — in big arenas, that this is a &#8216;thought police&#8217; thing, and I do not like it,&#8221; said Allen. &#8220;But [I say] &#8216;when I use these words, this is my intent behind those words. So as long as you understand my intent&#8230;'&#8221;
&#8220;I still get people [saying], &#8216;Well, just don&#8217;t say it,'&#8221; he added, imitating his critics. &#8220;And I say I&#8217;m not going to do that.&#8221;
Behar then interjected that even when you qualify statements like he just described, people still &#8220;take it out of context and put it on Twitter or put in on Facebook.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m surprised that they haven&#8217;t because I do use some provocative words,&#8221; Allen remarked, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s words I really got from my parents.&#8221;
The increasing pressure to self-censor their acts, Allen said, &#8220;is an alarming thing for comedians.&#8221;
The View tweeted out the exchange:

Former &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; host Jay Leno, who Allen mentioned at the beginning of his exchange with Behar, has likewise recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-jay-leno-smacks-late-night-shows-one-sided-james-barrett">addressed</a> the negative impact of PC culture on comedy. In March, Leno spoke with NBC’s &#8220;TODAY&#8221; about how things are &#8220;different&#8221; for comedians now.
&#8220;So it’s been five years since you left ‘The Tonight Show,’ and you see the place we are right now in this country. Do you miss being on the show? Or is it such a different time that it would be hard to do?&#8221; Leno was asked.
&#8220;No, it’s different — I don’t miss it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You know, everything now is if people don’t like your politics — everyone has to know your politics.&#8221;
&#8220;I kind of used Johnny [Carson]’s model,&#8221; Leno explained. &#8220;People couldn’t figure out: ‘Well, you and your Republican friends…’ or ‘Well, Mr. Leno, you and your Democratic buddies…’ And I would get hate mail from both sides equally. And I went, ‘Well that’s fabulous! That’s exactly what I want.'&#8221;
“But when people see you as one-sided, it just makes it tough,” he continued. &#8220;And plus, I did it when, you know, Clinton was horny and Bush was dumb, and it was just a little easier.&#8221;
“You know, now it’s all very serious, everything so&#8230; I’d just like to see a bit of civility come back to it, you know?&#8221; he remarked.
Leno also offered some hope about the future of comedy, saying he does believe that the pendulum &#8220;will swing back the other way.&#8221;

Political Correctness

On Monday, Joy Behar of ABC’s “The View” seemingly coined a new term as she enthused about South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, saying he was in a “traditional” same-sex marriage.
Discussing polls showing Buttigieg leading in Iowa, as <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2019/11/18/huh-view-host-praises-pete-buttigieg-moderate-traditional">Newsbusters</a> reports, co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked why Buttigieg was “pulling ahead all of a sudden.” Behar responded by referring to Buttigieg as a “moderate,” blathering, “He&#8217;s a moderate, am I right? He’s more of a moderate Democrat,” adding that Buttigieg had a “traditional” same-sex marriage.
<blockquote>Behar prattled, “People like that. The only other one — there&#8217;s Klobuchar who is like that, and so is Joe Biden. People are excited about Buttigieg. He&#8217;s fresh, he&#8217;s new. He&#8217;s gay. He&#8217;s a serviceman. He served in Afghanistan. He&#8217;s married in a very&#8212; unless you are a homophobe, he&#8217;s married in a very traditional marriage! Totally monogamous. That should appeal to a silent majority out there. I think it&#8217;s great, and he&#8217;s openly religious which is another positive in this country. So unless people are going to not vote for someone like him because he’s gay, I think he’s got a shot!”</blockquote>
In September, as <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2019/09/05/joy-behar-touts-buttigieg-lecturing-christians-sinning-climate">Newsbusters noted</a>, Behar sang Buttigieg’s praises because he invoked God when speaking of climate change. Behar babbled:
<blockquote>Pete Buttigieg was very interesting on the subject of religion and the climate change, and I&#8217;m just reading what he said. What she&#8217;s [Marianne Williamson] saying is that the secular Left, by making fun of the power of prayer or whatever maybe in her case, the power of creative visualization is losing voters, by making fun of that. And Pete Buttigieg makes the case that, you know, he says, if you believe God is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation and people are being harmed by it, countries are at risk of vanishing in low-lying areas. What do you suppose God thinks of that? I bet he thinks its messed up, and you don&#8217;t have to be religious to see the moral dimensions of this. At least one way of talking about this is it&#8217;s a kind of sin. I think that bringing religion into the climate change conversation is very, very helpful.</blockquote>
As far as Buttigieg’s so-called “moderate” status:
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-buttigieg-doesnt-want-his-ties-horrifying-ryan-saavedra">The Daily Wire</a> noted in September that the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/buttigieg-continues-support-for-abortion-provider-with-troubled-history/">reported</a>, &#8220;In April 2018, Buttigieg vetoed a South Bend Common Council rezoning decision that would have allowed a pro-life pregnancy center, Women&#8217;s Care Center, to open next door to Whole Woman&#8217;s Health,&#8221; The Free Beacon noted in a separate <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/buttigieg-continues-support-for-abortion-provider-with-troubled-history/">report</a>. &#8220;Buttigieg told the South Bend Tribune he did not find it &#8216;responsible&#8217; to situate the two organizations &#8216;literally right next to each other&#8217; despite Women&#8217;s Care Center&#8217;s promise not to allow protestors to stage demonstrations on their property.&#8221;
The Daily Wire noted, “ … an abortion doctor who was affiliated to an abortion clinic that Buttigieg repeatedly supported had kept the remains of more than 2,000 unborn babies at his home.”
As The Daily Wire noted in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-pete-buttigieg-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">profile</a> of Buttigieg:
<blockquote>Buttigieg consistently espouses legally progressive viewpoints. He supports Roe v. Wade and opposes Citizens United v. F.E.C., the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2010 political speech-affirming ruling. He supports eradicating the Electoral College via constitutional amendment. Buttigieg also supports “packing” the Supreme Court, expanding it to 15 justices … Buttigieg supports a single-payer health insurance system that would amount to a governmental takeover of health insurance and imposition of socialized medicine in America … Buttigieg supports “universal” background checks, thereby requiring a government intermediary for all private transfers of firearms. He is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a consortium of pro-gun control mayors. Buttigieg supports a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/buttigieg-endorses-nationwide-gun-licensing-system">national gun registry</a>, which is a longstanding policy nemesis of Second Amendment supporters.</blockquote>

The new journalism standards are simple: Orange Man Bad. Consider it the new AP Style Book.
It’s why virtually every journalistic mistake made casts President Donald Trump in a poor light. Quick: name a gaffe that attempted the opposite effect.
We’ll wait.
That reporting credo extends to Trump’s immediate family. And, thanks to the far-left Hollywood Reporter, we saw just that in action today.
The outlet covered the chaos on “The View” when Donald Trump, Jr. and his girlfriend, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_Guilfoyle">Kimberly Guilfoyle</a>, appeared today to hawk his new book, <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/01/donald-trump-jr-kimberly-guilfoyle-to-venture-into-hostile-territory-on-the-view/">“Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us</a>.”
The debate got ugly at record speed, something that should surprise no one given the liberal show’s fury against President Trump. Even “The View’s” token conservative, Meghan McCain, loathes the Commander in Chief.
Trump, Jr. landed some rhetorical body blows during the debate. <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/booing-is-fing-us-up-view-melts-down-donald-trump-jr-visit-1253109">THR pulled a muscle</a> or two hiding the truth behind them, and then some.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sNiq1cFfT-4" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The First Son called out “The View’s” Joy Behar for once dressing in blackface. Behar denied it repeatedly. The THR scribe let her lie go unchallenged.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Don Jr. just blew the panel up by bringing up the time Joy Behar wore blackface. Whoopi and her both immediately said he was lying.
Jezebel called it &#8220;blackface-lite.&#8221;<a href="https://t.co/sub4OKedgw">https://t.co/sub4OKedgw</a>

Then, Trump Jr. mocked “The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg for once defending director Roman Polanski drugging and anally raping a 13-year-old girl as not “rape-rape.”
Here’s how THR characterized that moment.
During another commercial break, one woman in the audience tried taking Goldberg to task for a comment she made more than 10 years ago about Roman Polanski, which Don Jr. tried to repurpose as an attack on Goldberg.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the woman said to Goldberg. “Then be quiet and listen to me,” the co-host responded.
If readers are learning about Goldberg’s “rape-rape” comments for the first time, you’d assume Trump Jr. lied.
He didn’t.

Perhaps the most egregious bias came with recent news that paints ABC, which syndicates “The View,” as a biased, unreliable outlet.
Project Veritas released a video of ABC News anchor Amy Robach sharing how she had a killer scoop on the late Jeffrey Epstein three years ago. Her bosses, she said, spiked the story.
Here’s Robach, <a href="https://www.poynter.org/newsletters/2019/hot-mic-amy-robachs-jeffrey-epstein-allegation-will-media-reveal-the-whistleblower-nyt-library-controversy/">caught on a hot mic</a>, describing what happened.
“It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton — we had everything. I tried for three years to get it on to no avail and now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new revelations. And I freaking had all of it. I’m so pissed right now. Every day I get more and more pissed. … What we had was unreal.”
Imagine the girls who might have been spared from Epstein’s clutches had ABC covered the story at the time?
Here’s how THR detailed this part of the Trump Jr./”View” exchange.
Trump tried attacking ABC for the network’s handling of a 2015 interview with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused the late Jeffrey Epstein of sexual misconduct. “ABC right now is chasing down a whistleblower about all the Epstein stuff,” he said, referring to a network investigation to determine who leaked an internal recording of ABC News anchor Amy Robach.
Trump “tried” attacking?
Sexual misconduct? Epstein was a <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a28352055/jeffrey-epstein-criminal-case-facts/">convicted pedophile.</a>
Add it all together, and Trump Jr. exposed both ABC and “The View” during a contentious interview. “The View” deserves credit for inviting the First Son on the show. THR deserves even more credit for highlighting how entrenched liberal media bias is in entertainment reporting.

However, it appears as though that Behar&#8217;s claim is false, according to a report earlier this year from entertainment journalist Jon Levine.
Levine, who now works at The New York Post, <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/that-time-joy-behar-wore-darker-makeup-to-dress-as-a-beautiful-african-woman-in-the-70s-video/">reported</a> at The Wrap:

“That is me. I was 29. It was a Halloween party, I went as a beautiful African woman. That’s my hair,” Behar said. “I had makeup that was a little bit darker than my skin, but that’s my actual hair, though.”
Then co-host Raven-Symoné, who is African-American, responded, “You mean blackface.”
“Joy, are you my auntie, Joy?” Symoné continued. “She looks black.”

Behar made news earlier this week when she suggested that Democrats should deceive American voters by not telling them about their desire to confiscate people&#8217;s guns until after they get into office.
“They should not tell everything they’re going to do,” Behar said. “Like if you are going to take people’s guns away, wait until you get elected and then take the guns away. Don’t tell them ahead of time.”
Co-host Meghan McCain quickly responded, “That’s what people like me think you’re going to do.”
Behar also strongly opposes free speech. She stated over the summer that she wanted President Donald Trump to be charged with &#8220;hate speech.&#8221;
“Why can’t he be brought up on charges of ‘hate speech’?” Behar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-joy-behar-wants-trump-arrested-hate-speech-amanda-prestigiacomo">stated</a>. “Why can’t he be sued by the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] for ‘hate speech’?”
“I don’t get it,” Behar continued. “How does he get away with this?”
Behar, who is often consumed by her disdain for the president, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joy-behar-claims-trump-culprit-behind-synagogue-ryan-saavedra">falsely claimed</a> earlier this year that Trump was responsible for the April attack on a synagogue in California.

&#8220;The View&#8217;s&#8221; segment with 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) erupted into fireworks Wednesday when Gabbard confronted co-host Joy Behar over Behar&#8217;s suggestion that Gabbard is a &#8220;traitor&#8221; and a Russian plant.
Gabbard returned to &#8220;The View&#8217;s&#8221; table on Wednesday after a rough first appearance earlier in the year, when co-host Meghan McCain <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-views-meghan-mccain-confronts-tulsi-gabbard-for-spouting-propaganda-from-syria">brought up Gabbard&#8217;s friendly relationship</a> with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, but this time, Gabbard came prepared for a fight &#8212; but with McCain&#8217;s left-leaning co-host, Behar.
In the show&#8217;s &#8220;hot topic&#8221; segment on October 21, Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin doubled down on Hillary Clinton&#8217;s recent claims that Gabbard is a Russian sleeper agent within Democratic ranks, poised to disrupt the 2020 presidential election by launching a third party bid that will ultimately hand the election to Republicans.
Hostin called Gabbard a &#8220;Trojan horse.&#8221; Behar chimed in, calling Gabbard a &#8220;useful idiot.&#8221;
When she returned to &#8220;The View&#8221; stage on Wednesday, Gabbard came loaded for bear, confronting Behar over her claims and denying that she&#8217;s a &#8220;traitor.&#8221;
&#8220;I want to start with something that I think is also important about facts because recently on your show here — some if you have accused me of being a traitor to my country, a Russian asset, a Trojan horse or&#8230;&#8221; Gabbard began, triggering Behar to interrupt.
“We haven’t accused you,” Joy Behar chimed in, clearly trying to forestall a confrontation.
“‘Useful idiot’ I think is the term that you used,” Gabbard snapped.
&#8220;I know Hillary Clinton thinks you’re a witting asset,” Behar said. “You might be unwitting. Not that that means you’re stupid, but people can be used,&#8221; Behar retorted, implying that Gabbard couldn&#8217;t think about the situation for herself.
“Let me start with how offensive it is to say that I am a witting or unwitting asset of a foreign country,” Gabbard said. “This is a country that I’m willing to lay my life down for. If you are saying it’s not deliberately, then you are implying that I am too stupid and naïve and lack the intelligence to know what I am doing. That’s extremely offensive to me and every woman of color.”
“I want to let your viewers know exactly who I am,” Gabbard continued. “Set the record straight. I am a patriot. I love our country. I am a strong and intelligent woman of color, and I have dedicated almost my entire adult life to protecting the safety, the security and the freedom of all Americans in this country.”
Behar also accused Gabbard of participating in &#8220;propaganda&#8221; and promoting &#8220;white nationalism&#8221; by going on Fox News.
“Well, I guess we’re getting a little bit far ahead of ourselves, but Franklin Graham finds uh-you refreshing,” Behar shot back at Gabbard. “He doesn’t find me refreshing. The white nationalist leader says he can vote for you. You were on ‘Tucker Carlson’ at least ten times. Why didn’t you go on Chris Wallace?”
“You raised a second issue about why I go on Fox News,” Gabbard responded. “I go on Tucker Carlson, go on Bret Baier, go on Sean Hannity, go on MSNBC, go on CNN. I am here to speak to every single American in this country about the unifying leadership that I want to bring as president, not just speak to those who agree with me, but to speak to those who may disagree.”
&#8220;This is why I’m here,&#8221; Gabbard finished. &#8220;Because you and other people continue to spread these innuendos that have nothing to do with who I am.&#8221;
The segment appeared to leave Behar speechless, but unsatisfied. Gabbard seemed pleased with the performance.
Since Clinton made her comments on David Plouffe&#8217;s podcast, Gabbard has shot up in the rankings among 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls and is now solidly in the second tier.

Tulsi Gabbard Crushes Joy Behar In Clash Over Clinton Accusations On ‘The View’

Hillary Clinton

Tulsi Gabbard

ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar suggested on Monday that Democrats should wait until they are elected into public office before they reveal to the American people their true political intentions.
&#8220;They should not tell everything they&#8217;re going to do,&#8221; Behar said. &#8220;Like if you are going to take people&#8217;s guns away, wait until you get elected and then take the guns away. Don&#8217;t tell them ahead of time.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s what people like me think you&#8217;re going to do,&#8221; co-host Meghan McCain swiftly responded.
Behar&#8217;s remarks arose during a segment where the panel was discussing former Rep. Beto O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s (D-TX) decision to end his presidential campaign and drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination.
O&#8217;Rourke, who was initially hesitant to reveal where he stood on a host of issues in the onset of his presidential run, pivoted to the far-left after relaunching his campaign over the summer. Most notably, the former Texas lawmaker was the first major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to call for a nationwide mandatory gun confiscation program for all so-called &#8220;assault weapons.&#8221;
The proposal has been a divisive topic for the Democratic Party. While O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s declaration that &#8220;Hell, yes, we&#8217;re going to take away your AR-15 [and] your AK-47&#8221; has received massive applause from his left-wing supporters, many Democratic lawmakers have since been distancing themselves. Democrats, including those in leadership, have largely been sounding the alarm that such an anti-Second Amendment idea will backfire and simply fire up the Republican base.
&#8220;Beto, when my husband told me he got out of the race, I think he&#8217;s actually like a beta test for why going so national and being beloved by the media is so dangerous,&#8221; McCain said before noting that the former Texas lawmaker generated a massive war chest while running to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during the 2018 election cycle. Accordingly, he received more campaign contributions in one quarter than any Senate candidate in American history, ultimately ending up with approximately $80 million.
McCain also noted that O&#8217;Rourke drew national media attention and fawning coverage prior to his entry into the race, including comparisons to former President Barack Obama. O&#8217;Rourke subsequently hired a host of Obama&#8217;s previous staffers to work on his 2020 campaign.
O’Rourke’s demand to seize millions of firearms from law-abiding American citizens came as his presidential candidacy had been struggling to gain traction. Both his fundraising and polling numbers were relatively stagnant over the last two quarters despite relaunching his campaign for a third time in August. O&#8217;Rourke had not broken 5% support in any nationwide polls since April 2019, and when he ended his bid for the presidency, he was receiving less than 2.% of the vote on average, according to <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html">Real Clear Politics</a>.
&#8220;He also made some statements about religious institutions get their tax status removed from them because they didn&#8217;t support same-sex marriage,&#8221; McCain continued. &#8220;So he did a lot of, like, battleground culture war, and he ran as the most left, most woke candidate and look where he ended.&#8221;

Joy Behar Suggests That Democrats Shouldn’t Warn Americans ‘Ahead Of Time’ Before Taking Their Guns

Beto O'Rourke

Gun Buybacks

&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar wants to see a battle royale at tonight&#8217;s Democratic Party presidential debate, particularly between Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and the openly socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
&#8220;It&#8217;s getting a little boring to me,&#8221; Behar said on the show Thursday, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/joy-behar-warren-sanders-headlock">Fox News</a>. &#8220;I would like to see Elizabeth Warren put Bernie [Sanders] in a headlock. I really would enjoy that.&#8221;
Warren and Sanders have not met each other on the debate stage. Thursday night&#8217;s debate will be the first time the pair compete for the far-left progressive base. Should Warren come out ahead, her position as the Democratic Party frontrunner will increase exponentially in light of recent polls indicating her gains on former Vice President Joe Biden. As The Daily Wire&#8217;s James Barrett <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/51353/poll-predicted-trump-win-2016-warren-catching-james-barrett">reported</a> earlier this week:
<blockquote>A new poll by <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/elizabeth-warren-joe-biden-sanders-democratic-race-biden-vs-trump/">Investor&#8217;s Business Daily </a>found that Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has pulled to within striking distance of front-runner Joe Biden, movement that follows the former vice president&#8217;s repeated gaffs and comes amid glowing coverage of Warren by major media outlets.
IBD&#8217;s newest <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/elizabeth-warren-joe-biden-sanders-democratic-race-biden-vs-trump/">survey</a> of the Democratic primary candidates and their potential head-to-head matchups against Trump provides some notable results. First, Warren is increasingly poised to dethrone Biden.
The poll found that Warren has surged by 7% since August, now winning the support of 24% of registered Democrats and independents who lean Democratic (up from 17%).
At the same time, Biden&#8217;s support among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents has declined by 2%, dropping from 30% to 28%. That puts Warren at just 4% behind the front-runner — a dramatic 9% reduction of the gap she faced in August.</blockquote>
In the same episode of &#8220;The View&#8221; on Thursday, Behar said that while she adores Elizabeth Warren, she fears that Americans may not vote for her.
&#8220;I love Elizabeth Warren very much and I think she would make a really good president, but I don&#8217;t believe &#8230; this country would vote for her because of two things,&#8221; Behar said. &#8220;Number one: she believes in Medicare-for-all without private insurance and — I&#8217;ve said before — American&#8217;s don&#8217;t like you to take anything away from them. We like having that &#8230; she needs to take that out and say, &#8216;well you can have it if you want.'&#8221;
Behar went on to say that Democrats should not let Trump get away with castigating the party as &#8220;open borders&#8221; extremists.
&#8220;Democrats want legal immigration,&#8221; said Behar. &#8220;They want people to come in legally — the way we&#8217;ve done since this country began &#8230; and I think that those things need to be clear. Otherwise, Elizabeth is not going to capture the heart of the heartland.&#8221;
In the previous debate, Senator Warren <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/07/30/warren_decriminalize_border_crossings_laws_matter_seeking_asylum_is_not_a_crime.html">did indicate </a>she wanted to &#8220;decriminalize&#8221; border crossings while maintaining border security.
&#8220;The problem is that, right now, the criminalization statute is what gives Donald Trump the ability to take children away from their parents,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s what gives him the ability to lock up people at our borders. We need to continue to have border security, and we can do that, but what we can&#8217;t do is not live our values.&#8221;

Joy Behar Hopes Liz Warren Puts ‘Bernie In A Headlock’ At Tonight’s Debate

2020 Election

Elizabeth Warren

On Thursday&#8217;s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar asked why President Donald Trump has yet to be “charged” with “hate speech.”
“Why can&#8217;t he be brought up on charges of ‘hate speech’?” Behar asked sincerely. “Why can’t he be sued by the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] for ‘hate speech’?”
“I don’t get it,” she said. “How does he get away with this?”
Behar was referencing Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49495/walsh-trumps-tweets-are-gift-his-enemies-matt-walsh">recent tweets</a> about four freshman congresswomen — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — that sparked a media frenzy, as well as the president’s campaign rally on Wednesday night in North Carolina where “send her back” was briefly chanted by the crowd about Rep. Omar. Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49641/excellent-trump-president-denounces-send-her-back-ryan-saavedra">condemned</a> the chant on Thursday, telling the press: “I disagree with it &#8230; I felt a little bit badly about it &#8230; I was not happy with it, I disagree with it.”
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">wrote</a> in a series of tweets on Sunday. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough.”
“I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!” he added.
Behar’s idea that Trump should apparently be silenced and charged by the government flies in the face of constitutional freedoms. The First Amendment protects Americans, even Donald Trump, from being persecuted for controversial speech that might be deemed subjective “hate speech” from opponents. One would think Behar, as a comedian with a history of controversial statements herself, would be well aware of this.
Earlier this year, famed media figure Christiane Amanpour said Trump supporters chanting “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton were engaging in “hate speech” and should have been banned from doing so, as <a href="https://twitter.com/realsaavedra/status/1113139340215902208?lang=en">highlighted</a> by The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra.
“‘Lock her up’ was a feature of the 2016 Trump campaign. Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, the people in charge of law and order, had shut down that language?” Amanpour asked former FBI Director James Comey. “That it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it’s kind of ‘hate speech’ — should it have been allowed?”
“That’s not a role for government to play,” Comey answered. “The beauty of this country is people can say what they want, even if it is misleading and it’s demagoguery. The people who should have shut it down were Republicans … It wasn’t a role for government to play.”

WATCH: Joy Behar Wants Trump Charged With ‘Hate Speech’

First Amendment

Free Speech

During a heated discussion about Donald Trump and his supporters&#8217; supposed &#8220;hatred&#8221; of all kinds of people, including &#8220;black people,&#8221; according to Joy Behar, Meghan McCain, daughter of the late-Sen. John McCain and the &#8220;sacrificial Republican&#8221; on the panel, snapped at Behar for mocking her, letting a &#8220;b*tch&#8221; slip out in the process. After a much-needed commercial break, the hosts attempted to clean up the mess of the previous segment.
The moment came during a discussion of Trump&#8217;s massive rally in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday that officially launched his 2020 campaign and inspired even CNN&#8217;s Chris Cuomo to admit that &#8220;size does matter&#8221; and ask a Democratic presidential candidate nervously, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48623/limbaugh-after-trumps-blockbuster-rally-fl-biden-james-barrett">Why don&#8217;t the Democrats pack stadiums the way this president does?</a>&#8220;
The hosts of &#8220;The View,&#8221; including the openly anti-Trump McCain, described the stadium-packing event as feeling like a flashback to 2016, replete with the famous refrain &#8220;Lock Her Up!&#8221; Like Cuomo, the hosts seemed troubled by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd and wrestled with explaining how Trump is able to keep his base so charged up. Behar, in particular, seemed to really struggle with the issue, insisting that the Democrats are going to be able to pack stadiums just like Trump.
When McCain weighed in, things got a little tense. When McCain framed the event in terms of &#8220;hate,&#8221; she and Behar quickly got into it.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t belittle the enthusiasm of the crowds. Don&#8217;t belittle the enthusiam,&#8221; said McCain. Saying she was trying to explain the passion to one of her producers, McCain said, &#8220;Sometimes, it&#8217;s not just that they love Trump so much, it&#8217;s that they hate the same things Trump hates, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;
Behar pounced on the chance to paint Trump&#8217;s supporters as racist, interjecting: &#8220;Who? Black people? And immigrants? Who do they hate?&#8221;
&#8220;No,&#8221; said McCain, clearly irked. &#8220;You know what, Joy? I really come here every day open-minded, just trying to explain it. And it&#8217;s not a fun job for me every day.&#8221;
&#8220;But who do they hate?&#8221; Behar asked again.
&#8220;I know you&#8217;re angry,&#8221; McCain continued. &#8220;I get that you&#8217;re angry that Trump&#8217;s president, like a lot of people are.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m angy about every single thing that he&#8217;s doing!&#8221; declared Behar.
&#8220;But I don&#8217;t think yelling at me is going to fix the problem, okay,&#8221; said McCain, a line that earned some applause. &#8220;I just said it was hard for me,&#8221; she said of watching family friend Sen. Lindsey Graham get behind the president. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to explain why 2020 is not in the bag for you,&#8221; she added.
Whoopi intervened to try to calm things down, but when McCain noted that she has to be &#8220;the sacrificial Republican every day&#8221; on the show, Behar said mockingly, &#8220;Aww.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, don&#8217;t feel bad for me, bitch, I&#8217;m paid to do this, OK?&#8221; snapped McCain. &#8220;Don&#8217;t feel bad for me.&#8221;
Fortunately for the show, a commercial break gave them a forced time out. When they returned, McCain and Behar stressed to the audience that they &#8220;get along backstage&#8221; and call each other &#8220;b*tch&#8221; all the time.
&#8220;Joy and I call each other &#8216;bitch&#8217; all the time,&#8221; said McCain, <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/meghan-mccain-joy-behar-bitch-the-view_n_5d0abef5e4b0e560b70de24a?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAClonZMEZaCkC4x8uGNoTfJHQNx-uTBqNDYyYi5DzMWPOvgVExRTulH_gGDxeMkigNGu_390a3XbZTtsWaKep9Y7qWBXUJXb8_ZUgEWN4bYqkCZSwedHJNab--poXITQhk_BqchrmYWieASJ9Tjnn0Ud2iDNnsxb6xxDrafk4kyK">HuffPost</a> notes. &#8220;I know this is a big shock: We get along backstage!&#8221; Saying they&#8217;re both &#8220;pugilistic,&#8221; Behar added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care if you call me a b*tch.&#8221; The name-calling, McCain said, is a good sign because &#8220;women can debate on TV in a spirited way without it being personal.&#8221;

WATCH: Meghan McCain Calls Joy Behar ‘B*tch’ On Air; ‘The View’ Scrambles To Clean Up

Trump Administration

On Wednesday, Joy Behar of &#8220;The View&#8221; offered her nuanced opinion of the 25 men in the Alabama Senate who voted for the new anti-abortion bill that is the strongest such bill in the nation, snapping, &#8220;Maybe they should make it a law that they should all be required to get a vasectomy.&#8221;
Behar was prompted by host Whoopi Goldberg, who asked if the Alabama law could overturn Roe v. Wade.
Co-host Sunny Hostin answered:
<blockquote>
I think it will certainly reach the Supreme Court, and I&#8217;ve said it before, I think by the end of 2019 that abortion will be either severely restricted or illegal in about 20 states, but this has always been the plan; it&#8217;s always been the plan, at least since 1973, to challenge Roe v. Wade, and remember, abortion is now not illegal, but the Supreme Court even in &#8217;73 said that you could still restrict it once the fetus is viable. So there are restrictions that are in place, and can be in place, but completely overturning it, I think now is the first time since 1973 it is possible because of the five conservative justices on the court.

Behar: Can we look at a picture of the panel of men who did this? There it is. Gee, what do they have in common? They&#8217;re all men. All white guys. Maybe they should make it a law that they should all be required to get a vasectomy, that group in particular. That would solve the problem.
Hostin: There are only four women in the Alabama Senate.
Behar: And they didn&#8217;t vote for it.
Hostin: No.
Behar: No.
</blockquote>
Of course, Behar is either unwilling to admit or completely ignorant of the fact that it was a huge majority of seven men on the Supreme Court who voted for Roe v. Wade, and six of them were white: Harry Blackmun, William Douglas, Potter Stewart, Lewis Powell, Warren Burger, and William Brennan. With the exception of Douglas, who was nominated by FDR, the other five justices were all appointed by Republicans.
Roe was slammed by legal scholars after it was decided; American legal scholar John Hart Ely, who was considered liberal and was reputedly the fourth most frequently cited legal scholar of all time, said, &#8220;It is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be &#8230; What is frightening about Roe is that this super-protected right is not inferable from the language of the Constitution, the framers&#8217; thinking respecting the specific problem in issue, any general value derivable from the provisions they included, or the nation&#8217;s governmental structure.&#8221; Fellow liberal Harvard professor Laurence Tribe admitted, &#8220;One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found.&#8221;
Behar does have problems with Christianity; she later apologized after <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=209&amp;v=RNpm_NglrJQ">saying</a> in a conversation about Vice President Mike Pence, &#8220;It&#8217;s one thing to talk to Jesus. It&#8217;s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That&#8217;s called mental illness, if I&#8217;m not correct, hearing voices.&#8221; She mocked, &#8220;My question is can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room?&#8221;

WATCH: Joy Behar Suggests Alabama Senators Who Voted For Anti-Abortion Bill ‘Get A Vasectomy’

Abortion

Alabama

On Friday a former Democratic Nevada state senator came forward to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45317/i-was-mortified-former-democrat-senator-accuses-ryan-saavedra">accuse</a> former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriately touching her at a campaign rally in 2014, opening the floodgates to accusations against &#8220;Creepy Joe&#8221; that have prompted some of Biden&#8217;s fellow Democratic presidential hopefuls to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45365/bidens-rivals-pounce-handsy-joe-forced-defend-his-joseph-curl">declare</a> they still &#8220;believe all women&#8221; and Biden to issue a statement maintaining his innocence but pledging to listen.
On Monday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The View,&#8221; the co-hosts discussed the issue of Biden&#8217;s well-documented &#8220;overly familiar&#8221; behavior with women and girls. Most of &#8220;The View&#8221; women, who are mostly progressive feminists, defended Biden, even at times chiding the women who came forward and questioning their motives.
<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/04/01/whoopi-goldberg-defends-biden-i-dont-want-joe-to-stop-kissing-and-smelling-womens-hair/">Breitbart</a> highlighted a few of the key quotes from Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and company. Goldberg suggested that Biden&#8217;s accusers should&#8217;ve just said something to the Vice President of the United States when it happened rather than making public accusations years later.
&#8220;Listen, in the old days we would call Joe &#8212; some folks of a certain age would say he&#8217;s a little &#8216;overly familiar,'&#8221; said Goldberg. &#8220;But most politicians when they&#8217;re doing this with you, they are. Joe is a hands-on kind of guy. I&#8217;ve never heard anyone,&#8221; she began before correcting herself: &#8220;She [Biden accuser Lucy Flores] says she felt violated. I have to take her at her word.&#8221;
Goldberg then issued her complaint against Flores: &#8220;But it would have been nice if she turned to him and say, &#8216;You know what, I don&#8217;t really like this. Please don&#8217;t do this, Mr. Vice President. I&#8217;m not comfortable with this&#8217; &#8212; something, because he&#8217;s standing right there,&#8221; she said, a line that prompted applause from the audience.
&#8220;Though it&#8217;s hard to say to somebody&#8217;s who&#8217;s sniffing your hair,&#8221; said Behar.
&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not if somebody touches you inappropriately,&#8221; said Goldberg, getting more applause from the audience.
Later in the discussion, Goldberg elaborated on her point: &#8220;I want women to get to the place where they can say, &#8216;Hey, you just made me uncomfortable.&#8217; This idea that you have to tiptoe away from this, or you have to carry it. You do not have to carry it. If someone makes you uncomfortable, tell them. [applause] He came down to do you a favor; he was at your fundraiser. You had every right to say &#8230; &#8216;Don&#8217;t do that Joe&#8217; &#8230; You have to stop &#8230; mischaracterizing stuff.&#8221;
When Sunny Hostin, who described herself as &#8220;in the middle&#8221; on the issue, remarked, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if we&#8217;ll see anymore smelling of hair, and kisses,&#8221; Goldberg said, &#8220;That pisses me off &#8230; I don&#8217;t want Joe to stop doing that.&#8221;
Behar also came to Biden&#8217;s defense by saying his alleged kissing of Flores&#8217; head and smelling of her hair at the 2014 campaign rally wasn&#8217;t as bad as what Donald Trump described in the infamous Access Hollywood tape. &#8220;It&#8217;s a long way from smelling your hair to grabbing your hoo-ha,&#8221; she said. Behar, similar to her fellow feminist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45419/alyssa-milano-posts-lengthy-defense-joe-biden-gets-james-barrett">Alyssa Milano</a>, went on to defend Biden by describing him as somebody whom she personally knows that is just really &#8220;affectionate&#8221; and &#8220;friendly.&#8221;
Abby Huntsman had a stronger take, questioning the motives of Biden&#8217;s accusers: &#8220;I always wonder when these things come out, what is the motive for this person? Is it simply to let people know, I was uncomfortable, which you could have done in private? Or is it because you want someone else to win and you want him to have doubts about announcing or the presidency?&#8221; She added that one of her concerns about the #MeToo movement is that it potentially vilifies &#8220;normal interactions.&#8221;
Meghan McCain also defended Biden, describing him as &#8220;a certain kind of retail politician that loves people,&#8221; like her father and Bill Clinton, who will &#8220;go into the crowd and shake everyone&#8217;s hands.&#8221; While women should be heard, she said, there&#8217;s also a big difference between what Biden&#8217;s accused of and actions like those ascribed to Roger Ailes.

Whoopi Chides Biden Accusers: ‘If Someone Makes You Uncomfortable, Tell Them’

Joe Biden

&#8220;The View&#8217;s&#8221; Joy Behar did a masterful job of revealing her political ignorance when she grilled co-host Meghan McCain on why Republicans still support President Donald Trump, given his &#8220;treasonous behavior.&#8221;
Behar was referring to Trump&#8217;s friendly relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his taking Kim at his word when Kim denied any responsibility for the imprisonment and torture of University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier, who died in 2017.
I can&#8217;t explain Trump&#8217;s remarks on Warmbier, but it is preposterous to argue that they were treasonous. Why can&#8217;t Behar be content with, say, &#8220;outrageous&#8221; as a descriptor? Why must Trump haters insist that this most conspicuously pro-American president be tagged as a traitor because he says things they consider offensive?
I suppose it&#8217;s partly because liberals have swallowed whole the malicious myth that Trump colluded with the Russians to win his presidential election. Despite two years of failed attempts to prove Trump&#8217;s collusion, liberals cling to this fiction the way an older child, who should know better, clings to his belief in Santa Claus. If Trump is the traitor they imagine, why did he walk away from the negotiating table in Vietnam when Kim insisted all sanctions be lifted without his agreeing to dismantle his nuclear program?
These same liberals most certainly didn&#8217;t call President Obama treasonous for being caught on an open mic telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more flexibility to deal with missile defense after his re-election. They didn&#8217;t accuse him of selling out the country in the disgraceful Iranian nuclear deal, when he gave away the farm, America&#8217;s national security interests and pallets of cash that were guaranteed to be used to sponsor terrorism &#8212; all without getting much of anything in return.
McCain, no defender of Trump&#8217;s, succinctly explained that Republicans support Trump because the alternative is a party advocating socialism, late-term abortions and other things she could never get behind. Behar, apparently resentful of being cast as an enabler of socialism and late-term abortions, condescendingly countered that &#8220;those two things are being used as cudgels against Democrats, because there are nuances to socialism and infantilism. It&#8217;s not what&#8217;s really happening, so people need to understand what those words really mean.&#8221;
The truth hurts. How dare Republicans use the Democrats&#8217; socialism and pro-abortion policies against them? In addition to their pathological apoplexy over Trump, those two issues have come to define the modern Democratic Party. Socialism is now the face of the party, and abortion is its exposed rear end. Each of the many Democratic presidential candidates is trying to outmaneuver the others to the left.
Republicans aren&#8217;t making any of this up. They don&#8217;t have to. They&#8217;re just minding their own business, eating their popcorn and watching this generation&#8217;s version of &#8220;It&#8217;s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,&#8221; with Democratic politicians &#8212; young and old, north, south, east and west &#8212; starring in all the leading and supporting roles.
McCain didn&#8217;t take Behar&#8217;s implication that she lacks nuance sitting down, explaining to Behar that she is an educated woman who knows the meaning of those terms and that she knows what Bernie Sanders is presenting and she doesn&#8217;t agree with it.
Behar and other dissembling liberals tried to explain away the recent New York and Virginia abortion legislation and the proposed federal Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, saying the bills didn&#8217;t mean what even the sponsors admitted they meant. Assuming Behar is being honest here, I think we can infer that she&#8217;s the one who lacks nuance if she doesn&#8217;t understand, for example, that the Virginia legislation would permit infanticide. (I realize the wordsmith Behar used the term &#8220;infantilism,&#8221; but I&#8217;m going to go with the word I think she meant.) Democrats may pretend that subtle nuances in this legislation make their support of late-term abortion and infanticide justifiable, but the bills were straightforward and morally indefensible.
Behar and other liberals are demanding that we trust their lying eyes, which perceive that only fringe Democrats support full-blown socialism, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the only one mouthing this craziness. Many of the Democratic presidential candidates have expressed varying degrees of support for the Commie-inspired Green New Deal, and rank-and-file Democratic supporters are still infatuated with card-carrying socialist Bernie Sanders. Democrats have never found a socialist thug dictator they didn&#8217;t glamorize, and their economic agenda &#8212; from taxes to spending to regulation to universal health care to using environmental concerns as a pretense for expanding government control over all areas of our lives to their calls for social justice, income equality and racial reparations &#8212; is galloping further left every day.
If liberals don&#8217;t want to be accused of socialism and infanticide, they should start opposing &#8212; instead of roundly embracing &#8212; them. Behar might think conservatives are too uneducated to grasp the meaning of words, but it is their understanding of the words, not their confusion about them, that stands in the way of the radical Democratic agenda. And thank God for that.

LIMBAUGH: Joy Behar Nuances Herself Into The Far Left Corner

Progressivism

Joy Behar and Meghan McCain are once again openly having a feud on &#8220;The View.&#8221; This time, Behar accused McCain of having a &#8220;hissy fit.&#8221;
As Behar was introducing a segment about Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) announcing her presidential bid, McCain appeared to attempt to interrupt Behar over bringing up President Donald Trump.
&#8220;Can I get through this, please?&#8221; Behar said to McCain. 
Behar continued her introduction and began discussing Klobuchar making fun of the president after he tweeted that Klobuchar was &#8220;talking proudly of fighting global warming while standing in a virtual blizzard of snow ice, and freezing temperatures,&#8221; adding that &#8220;By the end of her speech she looked like a Snowman(woman)!&#8221;

Klobuchar shot back on Twitter, saying she was &#8220;looking forward&#8221; to debating him about &#8220;climate change,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I wonder how your hair would fare in a blizzard?&#8221;

After Behar introduced the segment and showed a picture of Trump&#8217;s hair messy from the wind, McCain said, &#8220;this whole thing is so stupid.&#8221; Then the other co-hosts chimed in. 
&#8220;You know what I think she is trying to do?&#8221; Abby Huntsman said. &#8220;I think she&#8217;s trying to poke the bear. When you attack him physically, you know that triggers him, and if he attacks a woman for any physical appearance, that is when people cannot stand by that, just in the times we are in. I do wonder if that is a smart strategy for her to do that or if you&#8217;re more effective as a Democratic candidate to try and rise above it, rise above the bullying and the criticism. Maybe if you&#8217;re a woman, you have sort of an advantage because if he goes after you&#8212; &#8221;
&#8220;So when they go low, we go high, that whole thing?&#8221; Behar interrupted. &#8220;Or when they go low, we get high? That&#8217;s more to the point.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Sunny Hostin chimed in. &#8220;I mean, maybe he&#8217;s met his match. I mean, she has a reputation for being a pretty tough woman, for having not having the best temperament. And he has a reputation for not having the best temperament. And maybe, he&#8217;s met his match.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s what this country needs, we just need to slide to the bottom, and just keep bullying each other,&#8221; Huntsman said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what this country needs.&#8221;
&#8220;Can I say something now?&#8221; McCain said after her fellow panelists finished giving their opinions. &#8220;Is that OK?&#8221;
&#8220;Go ahead,&#8221; Behar replied sarcastically. 
&#8220;I have permission to speak now on Amy Klobuchar? We&#8217;re all good?&#8221; McCain asked.
&#8220;Okay, number one I have friends who were at her&#8212; &#8221; McCain said until she was interrupted by something that Behar appeared to be doing off camera. 
&#8220;No, by all means, keep going, Joy,&#8221; McCain remarked.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to have a hissy fit, we can&#8217;t continue,&#8221; Behar replied as she hopped into the next segment while the audience laughed and McCain glared at her with her arms folded. &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to Senator Elizabeth Warren &#8230; &#8221;

In December, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/39031/joy-behar-threatens-quit-view-calls-meghan-mccain-amanda-prestigiacomo">reported</a> that the two had another tense moment when Behar called McCain an &#8220;entitled b****&#8221; and threatened to quit if McCain didn&#8217;t get &#8220;under control.&#8221;
In a recent <a href="https://pagesix.com/2019/01/11/meghan-mccain-tries-to-hate-joy-behar-but-she-cant/">interview</a>, McCain explained that she and Behar are quite similar &#8220;if you extract politics.&#8221; She also said that she thinks Behar is funny and &#8220;at the end of the day, I try to hate her but I can&#8217;t,&#8221; adding &#8220;I&#8217;ve never had more fun fighting with someone on TV than I do with Joy Behar.&#8221;
Behar has also been in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/43165/watch-joy-behar-darkened-skin-dress-african-woman-amanda-prestigiacomo">controversy</a> recently for a 2016 taping of &#8220;The View&#8221; where she showed a picture of her &#8220;African woman&#8221; Halloween costume which included &#8220;makeup that was a little bit darker&#8221; than her skin.

Joy Behar Accuses Meghan McCain Of Having A ‘Hissy Fit’ On The View

Video from a 2016 taping of &#8220;The View&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/photo-of-joy-behar-dressed-as-beautiful-african-woman">reveals</a> co-host Joy Behar darkened her skin to dress like an &#8220;African woman&#8221; for Halloween when she was 29.
The segment was focused on the &#8220;feminist statement&#8221; of embracing naturally curly hair. This triggered Behar to show off a photo of her 29-year-old self in the controversial costume, proudly boasting about her natural curls and how &#8220;cute&#8221; she was.
Former co-host Raven-Symoné was shocked when the photo first appeared on screen. &#8220;Joy, is that you, Joy?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;Joy, is that you? Joy, are you black?&#8221;
&#8220;I was so cute,&#8221; Behar said.
&#8220;Are you my auntie, Joy?&#8221; Raven-Symoné joked.
&#8220;I was 29,&#8221; explained Behar. &#8220;I went as a beautiful African woman.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, you ain&#8217;t black,&#8221; Raven-Symoné muttered in response.
Reacting to Raven-Symoné&#8217;s clear change of tone, Behar asked, &#8220;Why are you upset with me now?&#8221;
&#8220;Did you have tanning lotion on, Joy?&#8221; Raven-Symoné asked.
&#8220;I had makeup that was a little bit darker than my skin,&#8221; Behar explained.
A firestorm of political controversy hit Virginia recently after an alleged yearbook <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42962/breaking-kkk-blackface-photo-emerges-virginia-ryan-saavedra">photo</a> of Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, dressed in either blackface or a KKK robe, resurfaced online. Northam, who advocated for infanticide earlier this month, initially copped to the photo, but now is claiming it is not him in the photo. In another twist, though, Northam did say he once darkened his face to look like pop icon Michael Jackson in a talent show. The Democrat has told reporters that he can still moonwalk, and seemingly almost demonstrated this before his wife told him it was inappropriate.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who&#8217;s next in line to take Northam&#8217;s position if the governor were to resign, is now facing an accusation of sexual assault which Fairfax has suggested was leaked by Northam&#8217;s team.
And to compound the political insanity, &#8220;the third-ranking elected official in Virginia, Attorney General Mark R. Herring, acknowledged Wednesday that he had worn blackface at a party as an undergraduate student, deepening a crisis that has engulfed the state&#8217;s Democratic leadership,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/06/us/politics/virginia-blackface-mark-herring.html">reported</a> The New York Times on Wednesday.
In October, NBC host Megyn Kelly was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/37506/megyn-kelly-issues-apology-so-called-blackface-amanda-prestigiacomo">canned</a> from the network after comments concerning people dressing up as characters and celebrities of differing races on Halloween that critics decried as &#8220;racist.&#8221;
Ironically, Kelly&#8217;s comments merely discuss the type of costume Behar actually wore and proudly showed off to a live audience.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t see how that is racist on Halloween,&#8221; said Kelly, remarking on a cast member from Bravo&#8217;s Real Housewives of New York getting into trouble for dressing up as legendary singer Diana Ross. &#8220;Who doesn&#8217;t love Diana Ross? She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day, and I don&#8217;t know how that got racist on Halloween,&#8221; the former Fox host continued, noting that the costume was done in homage, not mockery.
&#8220;What is racist?&#8221; she asked &#8220;Because truly you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character.&#8221;

Impolite question, but it needs to be asked: Is there a Republican dead body that left-wing partisans won&#8217;t use to bash Donald Trump?
This week&#8217;s partisan corpse abusers callously exploited the passing of George H.W. Bush, America&#8217;s 41st president, to get in their digs at the current commander in chief. Their vulgar level of incivility was inversely propositional to their sanctimonious calls for decency.
&#8220;The View&#8217;s&#8221; Joy Behar rudely and crudely soiled the ABC show&#8217;s tribute to the 94-year-old World War II hero and lifelong public servant. While Whoopi Goldberg and other panelists paid homage to Bush&#8217;s character and love of family, Behar wielded an old Bush quote about federal Clean Air Act amendments to attack Trump on climate change. Her narcissistic pledge to become a &#8220;one-issue voter&#8221; on &#8220;pollution and the greenhouse effect&#8221; was interrupted when co-host Meghan McCain forcefully objected to the hijacking of their short-lived unity message.
Instead of apologizing for her ill-timed lapse into Trump Derangement Syndrome, Behar ripped into McCain while Goldberg cut to a commercial break. Not-so-joyful Joy reportedly shrieked in earshot of the audience: &#8220;Get this b&#8212;&#8212; under control&#8221; and told producers &#8220;If this s&#8212;- doesn&#8217;t stop, I&#8217;m quitting this damn show. I can&#8217;t take this much more.&#8221;
Neither can my ears. Can&#8217;t we just all get along?
MSNBC&#8217;s Mika Brzezinski displayed a similar lack of restraint, extolling the Bush&#8217;s legacy of bipartisanship not for its own sake &#8212; but to carp about how &#8220;over the last two years deviancy has continued being defined down by this current president.&#8221;
The Washington Post&#8217;s lead article on Bush&#8217;s passing bemoaned: &#8220;&#8216;Honorable, gracious and decent&#8217;: In Death, Bush Becomes a Yardstick for President Trump.&#8221; Yes, it&#8217;s a virtue-signaling yardstick to wallop Trump with in hopes of beating him into Beltway media submission.
Over at CNN, correspondent Jamie Gangel derided Trump&#8217;s somber visit to the U.S. Capitol to pay his respects as Bush 41&#8217;s casket arrived at the rotunda to lie in state. Gangel trashed Trump&#8217;s ceremonial salute to Bush as &#8220;theatrical&#8221; and rejected veteran Beltway commentator David Gergen&#8217;s assessment that Trump deserved credit for his decorum.
&#8220;I&#8217;m concerned that we shouldn&#8217;t give credit to someone for not kicking dirt on the grave of a person who just passed away,&#8221; said Jeffery Engel, rebuking Gergen during an interview with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. (Yes, that&#8217;s the same Cooper who demonstrated his commitment to civil discourse by infamously mocking tea party conservatives by using a degrading slang term for an oral sex act &#8212; also in an interview with poor David Gergen.)
Let&#8217;s stop pretending and give the historical whitewash a rest. This isn&#8217;t about celebrating &#8220;civility.&#8221; It&#8217;s about weaponizing &#8220;civility.&#8221; The newfound fans of the Bush clan spent years demonizing them as bloodthirsty warmongers and dynastic oppressors. Bush the Younger was lambasted as a &#8220;chimp,&#8221; beheaded in protest posters, and assassinated in off-Broadway plays. When liberals now praise the Bushes&#8217; &#8220;civility,&#8221; what they are actually rewarding is the GOP establishment&#8217;s capitulation to liberal principles of big government and elitist comity.
Because the Bush family refused to fight back vigorously against media smears, daily Hollywood abuse and partisan slime, they&#8217;re considered paragons of virtue from whom Trump is lectured to &#8220;learn.&#8221; According to swamp etiquette, it&#8217;s uncouth to call out profane, deranged haters who have no qualms about letting their anti-Trump freak flags fly as decent Americans mourn.
&#8220;Civility&#8221; is in the eye of the bemoaner.

MALKIN: Stop Partisan Corpse Abuse

George H.W. Bush

On Monday, &#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar apparently cussed out her colleague Meghan McCain, referring to her as an &#8220;entitled b****,&#8221; and threatened to quit the show if McCain was not put &#8220;under control.&#8221;
The Behar-blow up was ignited during a Monday segment concerning the passing of former President George H.W. Bush. Instead of honoring the late president, Behar used the opportunity to bash President Donald Trump, a go-to favorite for the co-host. That&#8217;s when an unimpressed McCain interrupted Behar and asked her to stop talking about President Trump and focus on Mr. Bush. The exchange quickly escalated to an on-air shouting match.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/38972/watch-meghan-mccain-tells-joy-behar-honor-late-amanda-prestigiacomo">reports</a>:
<blockquote>
&#8220;This president that we have now is trying to unravel everything that [Bush] did and Obama did,&#8221; whined Behar. &#8220;And if I ever become a one-issue voter, it will be about pollution and the greenhouse effect.&#8221;
McCain quickly jumped in: &#8220;Can we focus on [Bush], please? I don&#8217;t want to talk about Trump,&#8221; she interrupted. &#8220;We&#8217;re honoring a great president who passed.&#8221;
The 34-year-old&#8217;s father, war hero and Republican Senator John McCain, passed away this summer from brain cancer.
&#8220;Excuse me,&#8221; Behar attempted to defend herself. &#8220;Excuse me a second, please, I want to talk about the differences!&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not interested in your one-issue voter &#8211;&#8221; started McCain.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you&#8217;re interested in, I&#8217;m talking!&#8221; interrupted Behar.
Meeting Behar&#8217;s tone, McCain responded, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you&#8217;re interested in, either!&#8221;
</blockquote>
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg quickly ended the segment and threw to commercial break as Behar and McCain are seen still shouting at one another at the round table.
And that&#8217;s when the real fireworks went off. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6455991/The-Views-Joy-Behar-Meghan-McCain-blow-tribute-George-Bush.html?fbclid=IwAR2lpbvxfuHgoZbcye1Pux6_X0qKLCxMo5jxoEyPxi7IjcHhvfi5dPsHCdg">According</a> to sources at The Daily Mail, producers hurried to turn off Behar&#8217;s mic and tried to calm her down as she cussed out McCain and threatened to quit:
<blockquote>
Behar threw her hands in the air, yelled &#8220;My God!&#8217; and &#8216;Get this b***h under control.&#8221;
&#8220;If this s**t doesn&#8217;t stop I&#8217;m quitting this damn show. I can&#8217;t take this much more,&#8221; Behar allegedly fumed. 
Producers ran to the stage in an attempt to deescalate the situation, but Behar continued to rant, the source said. 
&#8220;I&#8217;ve tolerated a lot of s**t on this show but I&#8217;m at my wits&#8217; end with this entitled b***h. Enough already! Enough already! I&#8217;m not playing nice any longer,&#8221; Behar shouted, despite the studio audience being able to hear it all.
</blockquote>
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why she&#8217;s so upset,&#8221; McCain reportedly said. &#8220;I just wanted her to focus on President Bush and not bring Trump into this for once.&#8221;
&#8220;Everyone was frantic,&#8221; a source recalled. &#8220;The last thing they wanted was for Joy to walk off the show. She&#8217;s done that before. Remember the Bill O&#8217;Reilly situation? She appeared just as disgusted as she did that day and they only had two minutes to contain this explosion on set and get everyone positioned to return for the next live segment. It was utter chaos on set.&#8221;

Joy Behar Threatens To Quit ‘The View,’ Calls Meghan McCain An ‘Entitled B****,’ Report Says

On Monday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The View,&#8221; co-host Joy Behar lost her cool after counterpart Meghan McCain admonished Behar for falling back on her typical Trump-bashing during what was supposed to be a segment honoring the late former President George W. H. Bush.
After co-host Abby Huntsman spoke about Bush&#8217;s legacy and wished future generations would &#8220;learn from him,&#8221; Behar predictably turned the focus toward President Donald Trump and his alleged undoing of environmental protections.
&#8220;This president that we have now is trying to unravel everything that [Bush] did and Obama did,&#8221; whined Behar. &#8220;And if I ever become a one-issue voter, it will be about pollution and the greenhouse effect.&#8221;
McCain quickly jumped in: &#8220;Can we focus on [Bush], please? I don&#8217;t want to talk about Trump,&#8221; she interrupted. &#8220;We&#8217;re honoring a great president who passed.&#8221;
The 34-year-old&#8217;s father, war hero and Republican Senator John McCain, passed away this summer from brain cancer.
&#8220;Excuse me,&#8221; Behar attempted to defend herself. &#8220;Excuse me a second, please, I want to talk about the differences!&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not interested in your one-issue voter &#8211;&#8221; started McCain.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you&#8217;re interested in, I&#8217;m talking!&#8221; interrupted Behar.
Meeting Behar&#8217;s tone, McCain responded, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you&#8217;re interested in, either!&#8221;
The two are seen continuing their shouting match as co-host Whoopi Goldberg ends the segment and throws to a commercial break.
Behar has made it a habit to attack President Trump, usually with outlandish rhetoric. She&#8217;s called on &#8220;sociopath&#8221; Trump to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/the-view-star-joy-behar-declares-today-is-a-good-day-for-donald-trump-to-resign">resign</a> from office and &#8220;joked&#8221; about the president&#8217;s health in September.
&#8220;This man will never apologize, if he lives another 20 years, God forbid,&#8221; Behar <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/12/joy-behar-walks-back-trump-comments-i-dont-wish-pr/">said</a>, before catching herself. &#8220;Not God forbid. &#8230; If he lives another 20 years, he could be like 105 &#8230; He will never ever backtrack.&#8221; She later clarified that she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;wish the president ill.&#8221;
Behar has also mocked Vice President Pence&#8217;s Christian faith, which she likened to a mental disorder, and in 2016 said she&#8217;d rather vote for a rapist than a conservative.
McCain is not exactly a fan of the president&#8217;s, either. While eulogizing her father, &#8220;The View&#8221; co-host seemingly bashed President Donald Trump.
&#8220;[My father] was a great fire who burned bright,&#8221; <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/meghan-mccain-seemingly-slams-trump-in-john-mccain-funeral-speech/">said</a> McCain. &#8220;In the past few days, my family and I have heard from so many of those Americans who stood in the light and warmth his fire and found it illuminated what is best about them. We are grateful to them because they are grateful to him. &#8230; A few have resented that fire, for that light it cast upon them, for the truth it revealed about their character, but my father never cared what they thought and even that small number still had the opportunity as long as they draw breath to live up to the example of John McCain.&#8221;
&#8220;The America of John McCain is generous. It is welcoming and bold. She is resourceful and confident and secure. She meets her responsibilities. She speaks quietly because she is strong. America does not boast because she has no need to,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great.&#8221;
Former President Bush&#8217;s funeral service will be held on Thursday.

WATCH: Joy Behar Bashes Trump During Segment Honoring Late President Bush. Meghan McCain Won’t Stand For It.

To shake things up a bit, &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; sent co-host Steve Doocy to do a segment at Kid Rock&#8217;s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock &amp; Roll Steakhouse Friday morning and got even more political incorrectness than it was planning for when the rocker offered his thoughts on left-wing &#8220;The View&#8221; host Joy Behar.
&#8220;People need to calm down, get a little less politically correct, and I would say, you know, love everybody &#8212; except, I&#8217;d say screw that Joy Behar b****,&#8221; said the performer.
&#8220;No, now, you can&#8217;t&#8212;&#8221; Doocy interjected, as the audience went wild. &#8220;You cannot say that,&#8221; said Doocy, laughing despite his best efforts. &#8220;We apologize for that.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean &#8216;lady,'&#8221; said Rock sarcastically.
&#8220;She&#8217;s just got a different point of view than you do,&#8221; said Doocy.
&#8220;Exactly,&#8221; said the rocker. &#8220;You know maybe we&#8217;ll go on and I&#8217;ll hash it out with her and we&#8217;ll talk about it. But exactly, aside from joking, which I was, just go out and hash it out with people and have your thoughts and ideas, but be able to still go have a beer with somebody and say, hey, we all love this country and let&#8217;s have different ideas but try to move forward and be more together and realize, at the end of the day, we&#8217;re all Americans.&#8221;
That also got a big cheer from the crowd.
Doocy wrapped up by offering Rock another chance to apologize for Behar his comment. &#8220;I do apologize for the language, not for the sentiment,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Well, don&#8217;t feel that way,&#8221; said Doocy. &#8220;We apologize for both.&#8221;
Cutting back to the studio, the rest of the &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; crew again apologized for the language and stressed that they don&#8217;t feel that way about Behar. They also suggested they could see Kid Rock being more a part of the programming.
Before making the &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; hosts sweat, Kid Rock answered questions about his teasing of a political run.
&#8220;What about when you&#8217;re done with the rock and roll. Would you think about getting into politics?&#8221; Doocy asked.
&#8220;Oh, I bet if I have enough to drink one night, I&#8217;ll think about it again,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think I&#8217;m best served on the sideline being a cheerleader for our troops and our veterans, and you know, maybe just trying to pay my taxes &#8212; you know, just be a good American.&#8221;
Doocy also pointed out that some of the people there at the steakhouse had served in the military and had been entertained by the performer at one of his USO events in Iraq.

After promoting his faux campaign site kidrockforsenate.com and tweeting out various political messages for a few months in 2017, Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, finally revealed in October 2017 that he wasn&#8217;t serious about trying to take on Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabanow. &#8220;F*** no I&#8217;m not running for Senate, are you f***ing kidding me?&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/22668/kid-rock-senate-run-f-nowho-couldnt-figure-out-hank-berrien">told</a> radio host Howard Stern. &#8220;Who couldn&#8217;t figure that out?&#8221;
Before he disappointed fans with the big reveal, he&#8217;d managed to generate a lot of excitement, including <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/11/kid-rock-senate-race-michigan-241539">support</a> from the Mitch McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund super PAC. &#8220;We&#8217;d be actually very interested in his candidacy. I certainly wouldn&#8217;t count him out,&#8221; the group&#8217;s president, Steven Law, said. &#8220;The truth of the matter is that he&#8217;s done a lot in his home state philanthropically, he&#8217;s a pretty smart guy, he thinks about policy and he&#8217;s a shrewd businessman. If you&#8217;re watching, Kid, we hope you run.&#8221;
This article has been expanded to include more details about Ritchie&#8217;s Senate campaign stunt.
