Joy Behar Trashes "Foreign Agent" Elon Musk, Claims He's "Pro-Apartheid"

[Ubiquitous]

Joy Behar trashed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk during Thursday’s
broadcast of “The View,” claiming that he was a “foreign agent” and was
“pro-apartheid” and asserting that he was effectively running the
federal government while President Donald Trump took “a nap.”

Behar and her cohosts on the ABC News talk show have been critical of
both Trump and Musk since before the inauguration — often suggesting
that the latter is actually the one in charge and directing things from
the sidelines — but on Thursday’s show, Behar took things a step
further.

“Elon Musk kisses [Trump’s] butt and strokes his tiny ego, or big ego,
whatever it is,” Behar began, prompting a smattering of laughter from
the audience. “And he doesn’t get to do — he can take a nap while the
guy, who was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in
South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as
I understand it —”

“He is a naturalized citizen,” cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out.

“He’s a naturalized citizen,” Behar repeated. “Oh, how did he do that?
Did he come over the border legally?”

Griffin said she believed he’d come to the United States on an H1B
Visa, and cohost Sunny Hostin jumped in then to claim that he’d
overstayed that visa, suggesting that made him an illegal immigrant.

“This is just perfectly wonderful for Trump,” Behar pivoted back to her
original point. “He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign
agent, you know, an enemy of the United States, do his job.”

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked whether anyone else wanted to address the
topic, and there was a brief pause before Griffin suggested that maybe
they should “give him a little bit of time” before labeling Musk “an
enemy of the United States.”

Fox News commentator Guy Benson pushed back on Behar’s comments,
saying, “When it’s illegal immigrants, they chant that we are a nation
of immigrants. When it’s a naturalized citizen they don’t like, this
ugly nativism rears its head.”

“At some point, @ABC is going to get sued for something these morons
say. This may be it,” Pradheep Shanker added.


Perhaps with an eye toward just such a lawsuit, Behar scrambled to
water down her claims when the show returned from a commercial break.

“I don’t really know for sure if he was [pro-apartheid]. He grew up in
that time when [it] was in full blown … He was around at that time.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t … don’t be suing me, okay, Elon?” Behar
said.

Not a joke! Don't jump!

Joy Behar trashed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk during Thursday's
broadcast of THE VIEW, claiming that he was a "foreign agent" and was
"pro-apartheid" and asserting that he was effectively running the
federal government while President Donald Trump took "a nap".

But you had no problem with Jill Biden running the country for four years--
even leading Cabinet meetings-- while Grandpa Badfinger gummed his pudding and
watched the squirrels on the South Lawn, right Joy?

"Elon Musk kisses [Trump’s] butt and strokes his tiny ego, or big ego,
whatever it is," Behar began, prompting a smattering of laughter from
the audience. "And he doesn’t get to do-- he can take a nap while the
guy, who was not born in this country who was born under apartheid in
South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as
I understand it--"

So any white person born in South Africa is de facto pro-apartheid? Every
white person has "that mentality going on"? Jeezus, Joy. You certainly are
letting your bigot flag fly this week, aren't you?

"He is a naturalized citizen," cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out.
"He’s a naturalized citizen," Behar repeated. "Oh, how did he do that?
Did he come over the border legally?"

Yes, you disgusting fishwife, he did.

"This is just perfectly wonderful for Trump," Behar pivoted back to her
original point. "He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign
agent, you know, an enemy of the United States, do his job."
Fox News commentator Guy Benson pushed back on Behar's comments,
saying, "When it’s illegal aliens, they chant that we are a nation
of immigrants. When it's a naturalized citizen they don't like, this
ugly nativism rears its head."

Bingo. The hypocrisy is so blatant it's amazing that those smooth-brained
harridans believe they're fooling anyone.

say. This may be it," Pradheep Shanker added.
Perhaps with an eye toward just such a lawsuit, Behar scrambled to
water down her claims when the show returned from a commercial break.
"I don’t really know for sure if he was [pro-apartheid].

You don't know for sure but you were perfectly comfortable accusing him of it.
Fuck off, you appalling hag.

He grew up in that time when [it] was in full blown... He was around at that
time.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't... don't be suing me, okay, Elon?" Behar
said.

He should sue the shit out of her and take everything she owns.
