ABC New is desperate to get Vice President Kamala Harris elected president. How desperate? Joy Behar, co-host of news program The View, repeatedly fear mongered that former President Trump planned to have “the Air Forces” bomb their studio and have the military kill liberals if he was elected again. On Wednesday’s show, she told viewers not to trust the polls and the media, suggesting they were on his side and were trying to depress Democratic voter turnout.
“Let me tell you something. I was watching interviews with MAGA supporters. They do not believe that he will do what he says he’s going to do. That's what we're up against,” she decried on Tuesday’s episode.
What sort of stuff was she upset MAGA supporters didn’t believe? She couldn’t wrap her mind around how they didn’t believe he was going to be a dictator like she did, or how she foresaw him bombing their studio:
So, if you say he's going to be a dictator on day one, he wants to punish with the – with the air forces, whatever we have – the armed forces, he wants to punish people who disagree with him like people like us! Okay? And they say, ‘oh, he's not going to do that.’ He's going to take us out of NATO. ‘No, he's not going to do that.’ So, it's very hard for us to talk to these people, because they refuse to believe. And I guess they're hearing it on Fox or elsewhere.
On Wednesday, she wanted “talk about fascism for a second,” and how Trump’s picture was in the dictionary.
“This is the definition. It’s defined as a political movement that embraces the far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government. That definition has Trump's picture next to it in the dictionary,” she proclaimed, without evidence of the picture.
And without evidence of Trump claiming he was going to have liberals slaughtered if they disagree with him, the ABC News hosted repeated he claim:
I mean, he wants to send the military to attack liberals if he gets in. That is basically – And the king of fascism is Mussolini who spoke better English than he does, by the way. And so, I think that to say that he's a fascist is completely accurate. I mean, it does fit the definition. He wants to send the military in to attack his opponents. I mean, what more do you need to hear?
Later in the show, Behar pretended she was not a member of the media as she whined about them not rejecting the reality of the polling. “I'm starting to worry about the polls because I see a lot of the media saying that he's leading and everybody is getting nervous and all that,” she bellyached.
She and moderator Whoopi Goldberg then proceeded to claim that the media was actually on Trump’s side and that they were intentionally trying to depressed Democratic voter turn out:
GOLDBERG: That's why they're saying it.
BEHAR: But they're doing that on purpose!
GOLDBERG: Yes, that's what I've been saying!
BEHAR: Because basically, it's so disheartening for Democrats and people who are leaning towards Kamala to say, ‘well, what's the point?’ Don't buy into that.
Back in reality, numerous Media Research Center studies have shown that ABC was indeed in the tank for Harris (that’s not to mention CBS, the purported “fact-checkers,” and many more). And is Behar really thought Harris was in danger, why hadn’t she donated to her campaign yet?

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Okay.
BEHAR: Because that came up also. I think you covered this in your part.
This is the definition. It’s defined as a political movement that embraces the far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government. That definition has Trump's picture next to it in the dictionary.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Right.
BEHAR: I mean, he wants to send the military to attack liberals if he gets in. That is basically – And the king of fascism is Mussolini who spoke better English than he does, by the way.
