Leftist Joy Behar has been slammed for saying Biden gets “the benefit of the doubt” over classified documents because he is not a “liar and thief” like Trump

Leftist The View co-host Joy Behar has been slammed on social media for saying Democratic President Joe Biden is getting “the benefit of the doubt” over classified documents found in an office that he used when he was vice president because Biden isn’t. t a “liar and thief” like ex-President Donald Trump.

what are the details

A segment on Tuesday’s show dealt with classified documents found in Biden’s private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, DC last fall. Some of the documents are reportedly marked “top secret.”

The View played a CNN clip in which Florida Republican US Rep. Byron Donalds criticized the handling of the Biden situation, comparing it to the discovery of classified documents at Trump’s Florida home in Mar-a-Lago.

“Number one, what was [Biden] to do with classified information in his possession?” Donalds asked. “Second, why did it take six years? I want to stress this for the American people: Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017. Point number three, and this is the most important one, anyone can go back to the Hillary Clinton email saga that we know other presidents do had classified information but why was there a raid on Mar-a-Lago but now this [Biden] The story just oozes out and everyone says, ‘Oh, let’s get to the bottom of this,’ and everyone agrees when in doubt.”

With that, Whoopi Goldberg – another well-known, left-leaning co-host of The View – was a little concerned: “Well, apart from the facts that Biden handed over the documents as soon as they were found and were cooperating with the authorities – in Contrasted with some people who had to have a subpoena and said they handed it all over.

The audience responded with applause.

She continued, “We don’t know anything about the nature of it, okay? So let’s keep that in mind. But I’m just saying Byron needs to calm down a bit because there might be some differences here. The optics are not necessarily the best. So, it’s good news for you-know-who [i.e., Trump]?”

“We all know Trump is a liar and a thief”

Behar then doubled down on Goldberg’s defense of Biden.

“Not really. I think what you just said is correct, that there are differences in what happened,” Behar said before dropping her first big bombshell. “We all know that Trump is a liar and is a thief, you know? We know that.”

The cheering crowd loved it.

“We don’t believe Biden is a liar and a thief, so when in doubt we agree with him”

“So it’s not a huge leap to say he obstructed and lied,” Behar continued. “We don’t believe Biden is a liar and a thief, so we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. That’s partly what’s going on.”

Behar added that “no matter what the truth of it is,” Republicans “are going to flip it,” and said the Biden-secret document controversy is “just as bad as Trump.” And that’s how the lie comes out… people believe it….”

After some chatter, Behar concluded by saying, “The lying has been so invasive, so pervasive, that no one will believe the truth anymore. And you can lay that at the feet of Donald Trump, who started lying.”

recoil

New co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin interjected, “Absolutely no one is going to like that attitude, but I’m going to go there anyway. It is a big thing. I stopped [top secret] security clearance; I would have been in jail if I had taken a secret document home with me.”

Goldberg and Behar immediately championed Biden again, saying he didn’t actually take the documents home with him, and then Griffin conceded that “the facts are different than the Trump case.”

“However, I think,” she added, “this is a huge win for Trump because if you are.” [U.S. Attorney General] Merrick Garland – already extremely cautious and unwilling to break the longstanding precedent of not impeaching a president – finds it very difficult to argue that Donald Trump should be impeached for this, even when the facts are different. .”

How are people reacting to Behar’s hiring?

Behar has been slammed on social media for saying Biden has the “advantage of the doubt” over Trump when it comes to handling classified documents. The following are just a few examples:

• “Leave it to Behar to make monumentally stupid statements to outdo Whoopi in the race to prove who is the most ignorant and biased leftist in ‘The View,'” a Twitter commenter said specified.
• “Behar is an idiot,” another user said. “Not a bit of common sense … we should ignore Biden taking classified documents when he’s just a vice president just because he’s not Trump. Close resemblances to a horse [with] blinkers on.”
• “You have to love how Joy (less) Behar says that rules only apply to Trump because she doesn’t like him, but not to Biden,” said another commenter explained. “‘Nothing to see. That’s fine… everything’s fine…'”
• Another user complied with that Behar “doesn’t think the guy whose entire 50+ year career has been nothing but lies…literally nothing but lies…she doesn’t think he’s a liar. Everyone lies. Politicians especially lie. But if Trump would live to be 200 years old, he couldn’t hold a candle to Biden’s record.”
