Joy Behar continued her meltdown about the re-election of President Donald Trump in the Friday, January 17 broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” telling her fellow co-hosts of the woke show that the 2024 presidential election was “not normal” and that President-elect Donald Trump is “not normal” as well.
That came when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin commented on Michelle Obama declining to attend. She said, “So I have no problem with Michelle Obama not going. I think it’s critical that all former presidents and vice presidents attend. I think it signals to the world that despite a very tumultuous political season that America moves forward and we’re going to have a safe and secure transfer of power despite Donald Trump in 2020 and what he did after January 6th but as spouse she served her time.”
As background, a statement from the Office of Barrack and Michelle Obama announced that the former First Lady would not be attending the inauguration. It read.”Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration.”
In any case, Farah Griffin continued, and she said Nancy Pelosi was making a mistake in not attending, saying, “I don’t think she’s obligated to be there, but it was also reported that Nancy Pelosi isn’t attending. I think it’s a missed opportunity for two reasons. I think that, a, showing that the country is still going to move forward even if the person you didn’t want to win wins. Even if you have grave concerns about who they are, but also she is still a leader among Democrats, a sitting lawmaker.”
Behar, chiming in, praised Karen Pence for snubbing Melania Trump during Jimmy Carter’s funeral and attacked Democratic men for not being rude to Trump, saying, “What bothers me is the capitulation going on everywhere. At this point, Michelle, Nancy, Kamala and Karen Pence are standing up against Trump. The men are folding like cheap suits.”
Adding to that, Behar declared that Trump is “not normal” and that the inauguration isn’t normal as well, attacking those who claim otherwise in the process. She said, “I just want to say, this is not a normal inauguration. This is not a normal person. He’s a convicted felon. Why do they go as if this is a normal inauguration? It’s not.”
Pushing back, co-host Sara Haines told Behar, “President Trump happened when the American public went out and voted.” Responding in the most absurd way possible, Behar compared Trump to Hitler and noted that Hitler and the NSDAP were elected to office, saying, “The Germans also voted just saying.”
Behar then again declared that the election was not normal, saying, “This is not a normal election. Stop treating like it is, it’s not.” Farah Griffin, chiming back in and sounding off on Behar’s talking point, said, “It is a normal election, it was a was a safe, fair and legal election.” Behar then told her, “Yeah but 75 million people I think there is 300 million people in this country.” Watch them here:
