“The View” co-host Joy Behar sounded off on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday, arguing he is “very dangerous,” and a “threat” to President Biden’s re-election chances.
Behar said RFK Jr. was “very dangerous,” and the show played a clip from his interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday. Kennedy argued President Biden was more of a threat to democracy than former President Trump.
“First of all, he’s a threat, I think more to Biden, just because of his name. That people out there, they’re not really looking into things. I think they think, ‘oh Kennedy, Democrat, yeah I’ll vote for him.’ Meanwhile, he is a conspiracy theorist, anti-science. His whole family is voting for Biden and this type of dangerous rhetoric that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than the man who wanted to throw over the government, overthrow the government,” Behar continued.
Co-host Sara Haines said Kennedy was “wrong in what he was saying,” and said Kennedy should be mad at Instagram, not Biden.
“He’s also wrong in what he’s saying. So he’s talking about the First Amendment, it being the most important one, and that someone’s squashing speech on social media, but President Biden is not responsible for private social media companies. The First Amendment is for the government, it does not apply, necessarily, to private companies who decide to ban you,” she said.
Haines said Kennedy had been repeating debunked studies and theories on social media platforms, and argued he continues to lie about it.
Behar chimed in again and said RFK Jr. is a “liar.”
