Joy Behar Melts Down Over Trump Shaking Hands with Chief Justice Roberts: ‘Really Stopped My Heart’
Co-host Joy Behar suffered a meltdown on “The View” after seeing President Donald Trump shaking hands with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
During the latest broadcast of the ABC propaganda show, the co-hosts responded to President Trump’s Tuesday address before a joint session of Congress.
Behar claimed that Trump’s brief handshake with Roberts amounted to solid evidence that the SCOTUS is colluding with Trump.
Co-host Sunny Hostin weighed in ahead of Behar.
She boasted about the fact that she had not watched Trump’s remarks at all.
Hostin continued by touting counter-programming that had garnered some 200,000 viewers to the millions who watched the president.
“I know how much this present loves his ratings, so I did not turn the TV on,” she said.
“I turned the TV off …
“I watched the State of the People Summit, which was counter-programming.”
Behar then jumped in with her assessment of the Democrat rebuttal, delivered by freshman Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).
She said Slotkin sounded “very presidential in many ways, and she wasn’t being held hostage like the woman last year.”
Behar continued by pivoting to address her greatest concern about the evening.
“What I really wanted to talk about was something you just said, that we don’t have a separation of powers anymore,” Behar continued.
“And there was a moment there that really stopped my heart, and that was when Trump shook hands with the members of the Supreme Court who were there …
“He said to Justice Roberts, ‘thank you again, thank you again, won’t forget it.’
“Now, what do you think he was referring to?”
Behar then speculated that Trump was obviously thanking Roberts for the decision regarding presidential immunity, and her cohosts agreed.
They failed to note that Trump could have previously thanked Trump in private, however, if that was the case.
Hostin pointed out the Supreme Court’s low approval rating, suggesting the two things were somehow linked.
WATCH:
Behar continued the anti-Trump narrative.
She went on to argue that the exchange between Trump and Roberts was clearly evidence that the Supreme Court, like the Republican-led Congress, was “in the bag” for the president.
Behar didn’t produce any other “evidence,” however.
