Joy Behar Compares Trump to Mussolini, Supports Facebook Ban

Liberal co-host of ABC’s “The View,” Joy Behar, agreed with Facebook’s choice to keep former President Donald Trump from posting on the platform, why “would we want Mussolini on the radio?”

The talk show addressed the social media giant’s decision to shut down Trump on their Wednesday morning show. Behar called the former president too dangerous to have access to Facebook’s global platform.

“You know, I think the 1st and 2nd Amendments both have limits,” she commented. “Even though I love the 1st Amendment like everybody else does, but I think that he’s too much of a danger to have such a big platform.”

Then compared Trump to Italy’s fascist WWII era dictator, Benito Mussolini. “Let him go on Fox, he needs to be marginalized, and let him speak to the choir over there who appreciate him and agree with everything he says,” she continued. “He doesn’t need to contaminate the airwaves all over the world with Facebook. If this was in the 1940s in Italy would we want Mussolini on the radio? No, we would not.”

Co-host Sara Haines doesn’t think the ban will keep Trump down. “If you’re not solving the problem, then what are we doing here?” She questioned. “Because I think right now it only gives conservatives ammunition to argue that they’re being censored by media and social platforms that lean left.”

Meghan McCain chimed in that she thinks Facebook went too far.  “I think they should reinstate him,” she added.  “I think they should keep it censored if he does anything else. I’m very conflicted on this one. I’ve gone back and forth all morning.”

I think that, as Trump has more than enough money to do so, he should buy Facebook for what it’s worth–about 50 cents–and reinstate himself. Then put all on notice that any truly inappropriate content will be censored (e.g. copyrighted content, X-rated videos, etc.) but that content that is only provocative and generates thought and discussion will be allowed, as it should be (thank you, 1st Amendment!).

Of course, if he really wanted to do the world a favor, he could buy Facebook and then shut it down. That would send all the lefties into a tailspin and ruffle a lot of their feathers since that is where far too many of them like to fluff each other up and make themselves feel all big and powerful but that would be a good thing. After all, exaggerated egos need to be deflated back down to reality periodically. 😉

I would bet you did not know before WWII, it was against the law to say anything that was not factual, in fact Trump and his allies could actually be charged for making unproven statements in any way and it was Conservatives who put that law on the books. During WWII the American forces were not doing so good so Roosevelt hired two persons , Lowell Thomas and Gabriel Heater to put spin on the war effort to make it look like it was going better than it was and the law got changed to do that and now anyone can tllk all the lies they please with out recourse, its called commentary.

If that’s true-what happened to let the Clinton and Biden totally off the hook for their unproven statement. How how about Adam Shiff? Defamation is still an option.

Trump? First start with the democrats, CNN MSNBC, CBS NBC ABC et al and then you can talk about Trump and his allies. And what these aforementioned groups do is called propaganda not commentary

President Trump isn’t the socialist dictator; he was the opposite in office. Biden is the one who wants the government in control of every aspect of our lives.

Why would any intelligent or rational person listen to what Joy Behar or any other View host would mouth off about. President Trump accomplished so many things for our country which intelligent people have talked and written about for years now. Behar is a Blowhard !!! What a waste. Read about Mussolini sometime and find out what he accomplished against his own people. Can you read???

You are right Trump was not a socialist dictators, to start with Trump wants nothing to do with Democratic Socialism like the rest of the free World have who has more rights and freedoms than we in the USA have. Trump wants to have the same thing Putin and every other Autocratic leader has the right to do anything he pleases, with laws meaning nothing to him. Why not ask those living in Russia, Egypt, Turkey, and Egypt and ask them how they love living under those kinds of Government where the only people who have any rights are the rich in the country, who agree with the ruler. Look at what happened to Putin opposition leader and many of his supporters who only demonstrated in the streets.
Now here are the countries with the most freedoms and you will not find USA in that list but Canada our closest neighbor is.

What kind of babbling Bullshit are you talking about?! Trump is not like Putin. Ridiculous! He didn’t want to take away our Freedoms. Trump loves America and her people. Biden and the DemocRats want to turn this Country into Communist China with the Government in control of the people. Why don’t you get your head out of your backside and do some Credible Research instead of listening to the garbage that the MSM has been feeding you.

Robert 6391 I think you should go live in one of those 27 countries for a few years then tell us how great they are. In how many of those countries do the families have 2 cars, a house, ability to shower daily, and may other perks we take for granted. Want your children still living at home at age 30 or paying a tax rate of 50 to 60 % plus a VAT tax. You really want workers running the businesses? You got it good here.

Behar, and people who agree with her, are the real dangers to this world we live in! Bigots, one and all, not only because they believe that their views are the only correct way of thinking, but who would never allow alternative views to their own to even be heard by others.

Everyone who enjoys Freedom of Speech should be migrating to MeWe, and not use censored Facebook. The View women, who enjoy their Freedom of Speech and enjoy their hate talk, should be removed from tv for inciting hate.

Joy Behar is an asinine ogre. She is ignorantly comparing Donald Trump to failed historical monsters that have nothing to do with Trump. They do, however, match up to the progressive socialist Democrats that are trying to destroy our nation. She is part of the ridiculous MSNBC team that has lied and plotted against us.

Joy Behar obviously hasn’t the faintest notion of how Mussolini implemented fascism. In fact, I doubt that she has any idea of what defines fascism. She’s just a fat, ignorant old lefty with a big mouth. She’s a comedienne who’s no longer funny. She shares a show with others like herself. Hopefully, she’ll be gone when she turns 80 — next year.
