ABC’s “The View” co-host Joy Behar snapped on Monday after her fellow co-host Meghan McCain exposed her weak logic on gun control and blasted her for changing the subject several times.
The segment began by discussing the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh over the weekend. The suspected gunman killed 11 innocent people in an anti-Semitic attack, and reportedly had several weapons, including three handguns and an AR-15.
While the conversation was originally about civility, it didn’t take long for Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin to immediately push for gun control.
The conversation got heated quickly after McCain called out Behar for changing the topic twice in order to make a liberal point. The second time McCain called her out, Behar snapped and yelled, “I jump to wherever I d*mn please!”
“You need laws. You need a lot of laws. The fact that some of these crazies all have guns… It’s about laws. Change the laws, you change the behavior,” Behar said.
McCain pushed back, noting that the topic was about “tone” and “civility,” not changing all of the gun laws in America.
“I didn’t think we were going to have a conversation about AR-15s but I’m happy to. I wanted to have a conversation about tolerance,” McCain said.
McCain went on to call out the panel for trying demonize gun owners, and criticized Behar for refusing to even look at her during the conversation.
“I am a legal gun owner and gun laws don’t have any impact on people who legally go and buy and use guns in a safe way. As a gun owner and NRA member we’re demonized to such a degree after — fine, you’re [Behar] not even looking at me,” McCain said.
After some back and forth, McCain decided to ask a very simple question about guns given the panel apparently wanted to discuss that topic.
McCain asked: “Do you want to define to me what an assault rifle is. Just define it, anyone at the table.”
“It looks like a machine gun that can kill,” Behar said. McCain immediately shot back: “Machine guns have been banned!”
After a commercial break, the topic was then shifted to identifying way in which social media companies are responsible for identifying users who use their platforms to discuss violence.
Behar blamed the news media for covering Trump rallies, claiming the president is responsible for violence in America.
“The media should stop covering those rallies of his. That’s my one recommendation. It just empowers him more,” Behar argued.
McCain, visibly frustrated, shot back, “That seems like a logical response to that question. Come on, we’re talking about social media’s impact and we jumped to Trump’s rallies!”
Behar responded: “I jump to wherever I d*mn please, okay? That’s twice!”
“It’s off topic,” McCain lectured.
Watch below:
While Behar’s comments on Monday were downright bizarre and disgusting, it’s par for the course.
This is the same woman who claimed Trump is paving the way for another Adolf Hitler. She said the president is teaching children to become bullies and racists.
Behar argued Republicans wanted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court to “retain white power.” She previously called Trump a “crackhead.”
She also disgustingly said “God forbid” Trump lives for another 20 years and asked why Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wasn’t thrown in jailfor blocking former President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme court in 2016.
