View’s Joy Behar Insists Trump Won’t Show for Debate, Doubles Down After Being Informed He Already Agreed
The View’s Joy Behar insisted Donald Trump will not be showing up for a debate with President Joe Biden even after her co-hosts explained to her that he’d already agreed and the date is set.
Biden took to social media on Wednesday morning to challenge Trump to two debates, which the former president quickly accepted. The first debate was set for June 27 on CNN.
On Wednesday’s The View, Behar appeared confused by the status of the Biden and Trump debate as she first said the debate not having an audience gives Trump “a way to get out of it by saying I’m not doing it,” only to be informed by her co-hosts that he’d already agreed to those terms.
“We’ll see when it comes time,” she said.
Behar heaped praise on Biden while calling Trump “Bozo the Clown” when discussing the debates.
“it’s like you have Bozo the Clown on one side and you’ve got a statesman on the other who has had years under his belt of being in the Senate. He knows what he’s talking about,” she said.
She then later circled back to the subject of an audience and claimed Trump would stack the crowd with “Trumpers,” only to again be corrected by her co-hosts.
“He’s going to stack the audience with Trumpers like he did at that town hall on CNN,” Behar said.
After being told again both parties agreed to a debate with no audience, Behar admitted, “Wait a minute, I misunderstood.”
As co-host Whoopi Goldberg explained the no audience rule, Behar then circled back and doubled down on her claim that Trump won’t show up, calling him a “liar.” Goldberg somewhat agreed, calling Trump a “backer outer,” but she predicted an “off the rails” Trump at the debates.
“I know that, but I don’t think he’s going to go for it,” Behar told Goldberg about the audience rule.
As her co-hosts told her again that the parameters had been agreed to, she yelled, “I don’t believe him!”
“I know what I was saying,” she added.
Shortly after The View’s segment on the first debate, Trump and Biden agreed to a second debate in September on ABC.
