In Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar downplayed the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene during a desperate attempt to attack former President Donald Trump.
While attempting to trash talk Trump, Behar literally tried to assert that the former president was a bigger “disaster” than Hurricane Helene, which has killed at least 130 Americans across six states — North Carolina (56), South Carolina (30), Georgia (25), Florida (11), Tennessee (6), and Virginia (2), according to CNN. These states are currently experiencing a still-unfolding tragedy, with a lack of clean water and access to electricity, along with devastated communities and destroyed homes. Hurricane Helene made landfall on Thursday as a Category 4 storm.
According to Behar, that storm was nothing compared to Trump’s first term — which saw a record economy until COVID, amazing strides toward peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, and record low illegal immigration. She began by mocking him for daring to show up to the areas devastated by the hurricane — where he helped hand out supplies and coordinated relief efforts while President Joe Biden sat on the beach and Vice President Kamala Harris held fundraisers and took staged photos of herself supposedly addressing the relief efforts.
“He shows up because he thinks he … he actually thinks … remember what a disaster he was … when he was president,” Behar said. “I mean, he thinks because he slept with someone named Stormy that he’s a weather expert.”
“But besides that, the guy — the guy, I want to just remind people what he, when there were … to slow things down,” she stuttered before going on to falsely claim that Trump had intentionally slowed relief efforts to blue states at the start of the COVID pandemic — which is blatantly false, especially as Trump even sent a U.S. Navy hospital ship to New York City to make more beds for patients, which then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) refused to utilize.
“In the early initial days of COVID, he did not send help to blue states,” Behar insisted without evidence, warning: “He will do that again if he ever becomes president.”
The unhinged talk show co-host followed her ridiculous prediction by making the sign of the cross.
