The View’s Joy Behar emphatically defended General Mark Milley, after it was revealed in Bob Woodward’s book that he may have committed treason while President Trump was in office.
In the journalist’s book, he claims that the Joint Chiefs Chairman, and principal military adviser to the president, secretly called China to assure them he would warn in advance if President Trump planned an attack against their country. Some might call that treason. But Joy Behar was fine with that, even being at odds with her equally liberal co-hosts.
Sunny Hostin soberly opened the discussion by admitting she found Milley’s actions treasonous: “I think the former twice disgraced — twice-impeached, former disgraced president was perfectly capable of starting a nuclear war after his loss, but I think there’s just no excuse for a silent coup which I think that’s what that is,” she conceded.
But Behar was thankful for the general’s alleged betrayal of our country, because Trump was a “lunatic” and a “certifiable nutcase” who should’ve been removed from office, she claimed: The whole time Trump was president, I was home saying, please, ‘God, make there be an adult who controls this lunatic.’ I know, you know, I was praying. ‘Let there be somebody in the room who holds his arm back when he hits that — goes to that button.’ I blame all the people around him and his cabinet who did not invoke the 25th amendment. Obviously he was nuts. We’ve seen it for four years. We saw the crazy behavior. And God bless General Milley for straightening things out. I know that the chain of command was sacrosanct, I understand that but this was an emergency. We had a certifiable nutcase in the White House! [applause] But more moderate co-host Sara Haines pushed back, saying we can’t “go to our adversaries” and warn them of attacks. She even called out Joy Behar for most likely not taking this same position if Republicans did this to President Biden (after his frequent pattern of seemingly senile behavior):
“But Joy, imagine right now, some people, some people, I do not agree with […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
