Julio Rosas "The View" host Joy Behar ranted against President Trump after he told an Asian-American reporter to "ask China" about the global death toll from the Wuhan coronavirus in response to a question she had asked him during a press conference.
"You have said many times that the U.S. Is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is it global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we are still seeing more cases every day?" CBS White House correspondent Weijia Jiang asked.
"Well, they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world and maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me. Ask China that question, okay. When you asked them that question, you make it a very unusual answer," Trump replied.

"Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?" Jiang followed up.
"I'm not saying it specifically to anybody. I’m saying that to anyone who would ask a nasty question like that," Trump fired back. . . . Hear the melodious voice of Behar for yourself
Behar had been ratcheting up panic over COVID-19. She also spread misinformation about President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus. . . . "Fox News reports on Thursday Joy-less was back at it. “Joy Behar panned President Trump’s response to the coronavirus on Thursday, likening him to the slow-witted movie character Forrest Gump,” they report.

“Don’t you think that this is a good time for him to resign?” Behar asked. “I do not feel any confidence with this guy. He has been incompetent from the giddy-up.” . . .

Now, poor Joy will be self-quarantining without her TV platform to trash Trump. While no one wishes her ill-will, there is a type of justice to her absence. She’s done enough damage by spreading misinformation and causing low information voters to believe the president is doing nothing in the face of COVID-19. No one is going to miss her lies, and thankfully it’s one less voice causing panic on TV.
