Joy Behar ridiculed as ‘dumbest person in media’ for saying SCOTUS ‘poised to pass a bill’ on open carry

April 14, 2022 | | Print Article

ABC’s “The View” is a very strange program.

As New Republic senior correspondent Jim Geraghty wrote in a very pithy tweet: “‘The View’ is a show about current events, hosted by several celebrities who don’t know much about current events, and who adamantly refuse to learn anything new about current events.”

That pretty much sums it up, and it’s a well-made point that was underscored on Wednesday when host Joy Behar made some peculiar comments in the wake of the Brooklyn subway mass shooting that injured at least 23 people earlier this week. Amid a generally inane and thoroughly pointless anti-gun conversation, during which a guest claimed that most gun owners shoot themselves (perhaps a case of wishful thinking, but not actually true,) Behar decided to weigh in and give vent to her considered opinion on the matter.

First, she saw fit to open her opinions with a quick observation about the number of mass shootings that have occurred in the country so far. “So, we are 103 days into 2022,” she said, “and there have already been more than 130 mass shootings in America this year alone.”

“Did you know that?” she asked the astounded crowd. “That sounded so high to me.”

It’s an interesting statistic, but Behar provided no citations of the fact. Were it true, it would mean there has been at least one mass shooting for every day of the year, with some days racking up multiple mass shootings. Even Chicago doesn’t have a record that’s anywhere near that bad.

Nothing daunted, Behar continued to hold forth on the issue.

“This is a tragic and uniquely American problem, it seems to me. I don’t understand why we can’t solve this problem. I mean [guest host Julia Haart] was saying to me as we were coming out, they don’t have this problem where there aren’t guns all over the place, but those countries do not have a Second Amendment. And I think that’s the difference.”

“That’s the problem,” Haart agreed and then proceeded to cite the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia as examples of places where gun violence isn’t a problem. No mention of Ukraine, which is currently putting the right to bear arms to good effect.

Then Behar really stepped in it.

“The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting the New York City, uh, state laws. We have very strict gun laws here, and they would like it to be—apparently, somebody has put it on their desk — that New York should be an open carry state, and an open carry city. With all of the density in this city, they want people running around with guns? People…middle-class people will be leaving in droves if that happens.”

Behar seemed unaware that middle-class people have been leaving New York in droves for years. Just ask Florida.

She also seemed unaware that the Supreme Court doesn’t pass legislation, but merely litigates court cases involving legislation that has already passed. She may have been referring to the Supreme Court hearing arguments last fall on the constitutionality of New York’s law limiting the carrying of guns outside the home, but it’s difficult to know for sure.

In any case, Twitter immediately let loose on the woman.

  1. Baher has the same mental awareness as Biden and senator D. Finestein has at the moment. SENILE !!!!

  2. She’s as dumb as Whoopi saying Dr Jill would be a “great surgeon general” … they don’t have an inkling about that which they speak … probably dumber as any high schooler who has studied Civics knows about the three divisions of government …

  3. Personally my fav word for the intellectually NOT gifted is “imbecile”! It has such a nice balance, or tone or ring to it! However, considering the person of Joy Butthair, even applying the most strenuous push to apply imbecile to Butthair won’t work! I’m kind of doubtful that a word has yet to be created that can adequately describe her level of “dumb”! She’s THAT DUMB!
    One can only stare with awe at her best dumb look on her face when she opens her mouth… it’s just….well, you’ve all seen that ‘blank cow in the headlights’ look on her face when she says something REALLY stupid….. which is usually throughout the entire show!
    Yeah, that’s it, Butthair… no wait, I’m not going to insult a cud chewing cow caught on a busy freeway in rush hour, no, no, no, the actual cow is far smarter than Butthair!

  4. Blowhar needs to go back to scaring small children and quit making a complete fool of herself. Being ugly AND stupid is just a little to much for even her. Only complete morons would go to their show much less even watch it and since most only hear from other sources about all the stupid things the do and say it is the only way the hosts of this show can get any attention.

  5. What a P.O.S. Communist witch, if she hates American so Damn much, she needs to move to China, or Russia. See if she will like it there.

  8. She’s a Loudmouth moron, full of opinions that are not supported by any facts. Her private security is armed, the rest of us can go to hell.

    1. Change the “She’s” to “He’s”, and you have a pretty good description of Joe Biden.

  10. It takes a really stupid person to calmly be called stupid every day and not have any effect on her whatsoever! What is more scary are the morons who listen to her every day. what kind of life do they live? When I see an ingrate like her I think of all the people who died young defending her right to stay ignorant and spew shit from her mouth every time she opens it! Who are the sponsors of this show? Why are people still buying their products?

  12. I would like one answer from these “women” on The View. Explain to me why that when a white guy commits a shooting, they consider him to be a racist white supremacist and they go off on gun control. Yet when a black guy does the exact same thing. They feel so sorry for them and it’s all the guns fault.

  13. Has anyone else noticed that MSM has reduced their coverage of this since the criminal is black? I also heard a couple of these outlets say that this guy “didn’t have the intention of actually killing people. Just terrorize them.” I have also heard them talking about him “obviously has mental health issues.” If this guy had been white, they would be calling him Satan, evil, monster, and every other horrible name. They would be non stop coverage, interviews, even a 20-20 special 2 hour report.

  14. The Democrats and the Left are always screaming about justice with regards to the Supreme Court and using the phrase “‘blind justice’ on the Supreme Court.” However the Supreme Court’s main purpose is to determine if a law is Constitutional. From listening to her and her proponents it is clear that none of them understand this. They want the Supreme Court to make laws which is forbidden (with good reason) by the U.S. Constitution.

  15. Wouldn’t it be interesting for their fourteen viewers if they discussed the PEOPLE who are DOING THE SHOOTINGS?? Maybe it’s NOT a GUN issue, maybe it’s a LEFT WING LUNATIC issue!!

  17. Joyless Barf-hard couldn’t make it as a teacher, so became a tasteless comedian. She is look more and more like Mrs Doulbtfire, a transgender.

  18. I don’t think I should burden anyone on the view with the knowledge that every person in Switzerland, under 65, is mandated to have the assault rifle they were issued in mandatory service in the armed forces, in their home. Every house in Switzerland has at least one automatic rifle inside, but still has an extremely low crime rate. I don’t believe the geniuses on the view could handle that without their heads exploding. Joy Behar is giving Don Lemon at CNN some competition at being the stupidest person on TV. It is a tough battle

  19. Even though they may believe it, no one ever said that celebrities were the sharpest tools in the shed. Most of them live in la la land and have no clue whatsoever how the average American Citizen lives. They are so detached from reality that their mental abilities are kept on the cloud with no way to retrieve them.

  20. Please someone help me understand why anyone cares what these people on the view have to say? Why are we quoting these people and counting what they say as “news”?

    They are complete morons! Full on crazy and they prove it daily!

  23. I am totally at a loss WHY we keep talking about the “The Spew”. It is the single most humiliating example of women in media, with no possibility of improvement. Let it go…..for goodness sake…..LET IT GO.

  24. Just ask Australians how no guns has worked out for them?
    They got DESTROYED by their well armed government.
    Ain’t happening in America

  25. Of course they made no mention of the racist criminal with an illegal gun committing a hate crime. Nope doesn’t fit any narrative so we will just blame gun laws. My god this show truly has the dumbest host ever. Worse they spew lies and liberals must eat it up as gospel. Shows how dumb they are too.

  26. The view, and their DumbA$$ hosts Spew Nothing But Disinformation Daily, please oh please someone cancel these Menopausal wholes.

  27. “dumbest person in media” (from the article). She has a LOT of competition for that title. If we include Slo Joe in the mix (from the video), he would be #1, hands down, no contest, done deal.

  28. Did she fail high school government???? Somebody should clue her in to the fact that the Supreme Court does not pass bills. Somebody send her DVDs of Schoolhouse Rock.

  29. Why would people watch a show where no one knows anything, isn’t qualified for anything. Is this Barbara wah wah’s curse on a public that would watch her meaningless “celebrity” interviews as if they were of any value.

  30. I guess tweeker banned all their comments on this article,,,what a shame, I’m missing my morning laugh,,,,,,,,FJB,,,,,
    sympl1

  37. The biased and partisan old hater and blamer Behar -and that obese pig Whoppi Goldberg (Caryn Johnson)- are two of the most hateful, partisan intolerant and ignorant people in the corrupt and colluding mainstream media. Whoppi the former High school drop out, welfare queen and drug addict- is now a self proclaimed intellectual and expert on EVERYTHING. The Dumb and Dumber duo are just propagandists for the Democrat Party-nothing else.

  38. She had to be the dumbest old hag teacher teaching our children. She’s as dumb as a tree branch with bird pu on it.

  39. Can you believe that this ignorant, clueless woman was actually a TEACHER at one time?

  40. I take exception to that, dumb as she may be, she is no match for coffee boy stelter, racist joyless reid, madcow maddow, chuckles todd, to name just a few.

    1. Any and all of the talking heads at MSNBC or CNN are as mentally stunted as Joyless and fata$$ed Whoopi.

  41. Joy Behar continually puts forth the evidence that she is indeed one of the dumbest in media. It would be nearly impossible to come to any other conclusion when you consider the sheer volume of stupid comments and ridiculous viewpoints that spew from her venomous mouth.
