Joy Behar of “The View” managed to further embarrass herself and the show with her ill-informed comments about the recent tragic shooting at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump. On Saturday during a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was shot and wounded, with a tragic loss of life and several injuries among the crowd.
Behar’s remarks came on Monday’s show when she attempted to address the issue of gun violence linked to the incident. Her commentary quickly spiraled into controversy.
“The shooter, yes, it was a 20-year-old kitchen worker from nearby Bethel Park in Pennsylvania,” Behar started “According to a CNN reporter, senior law enforcement officials said that he bought 50 rounds of ammunition from a local gun store hours before the rally. Shouldn’t that have been reported?
“Somebody buys 20-year-old white guy? I mean we’ve seen that many times now, young white men with guns and nobody reported that he bought 15 rounds of ammunition?” Behar claimed.
