Joy Behar Says Trump Got “Lucky” About Lab Leak Theory And Fauci Isn’t To Blame For Flip-Flopping

Liberal co-host of “The View” refuses to give credit to former President Donald Trump for blaming China for originating the COVID-19 outbreak, saying the country was his “scapegoat” and it’s a “lucky break” that he seems to be right over a year later.

The co-hosts of “The View” discussed the origins of the virus on Wednesday’s show, as the Wuhan Lab Leak theory has been gaining traction in the past month, after being dismissed as racist attacks against China when Trump suggested it at the beginning of the pandemic. 

Whoopi Goldberg introduced the segment by saying that the theory was “downplayed almost from the start,” before playing a video of Dr. Anthony Fauci announcing that an investigation into the virus’ origins was imperative, even though he softened the likelihood that the coronavirus was man-made.  

Goldberg accused the Trump administration of not “letting the science roll out to find out,” and creating doubt in the theory’s credibility. Co-host Sara Haines blamed Trump explicitly in response.  

The lab leak theory, “Came out under the former administration and I think the messenger matters,” she remarked. “It was buried in an administration and a former president who often kind of troped in, kind of racist terms and dog whistles, and so it buried the message that could have actually been reasonable.”

Goldberg then went to Behar to ask, “Is it fair to criticize Fauci for not knowing the exact answer when everyone wanted it?”

 “No. I mean, you know, this anti-science crowd on the right with the — with Trump has been criticizing Fauci from the giddy-up as if he’s an Oracle of Delphi, instead of a scientist” she responded.

She said that Fauci’s flip-flopping is a result of developing science, but “Trump was blaming the Chinese from the beginning. He was using them as scapegoats,” Behar snarked. “If it happens to be true it was from Wuhan, that was a lucky break on his part because he took a guess, in my opinion.”

Does Joy have any sense of reality? IIs she a stupid as she babbles about something she knows nothing about. Trump probably had intelligence that helped him to decide to stop travel from China and probably had indications the virus came from the Wuhan lab. The CDC and the Fausi were a waste in this pandemic. Maybe Joy should talk about the shortcoming of the CDC and the Fausi that sucks up taxpayer dollars and delivers little. They should have known the cloth masks do nothing. We shouldn’t need outside studies to tell us that fact. Also, the CDC should have analyzed the virus and should be able to tell if it had been manipulated. So far, the Fausi and the CDC are proving we are wasting billions of dollars supporting them.

Fauxci IS to blame among a handful of others that seeked to benefit from the “worldwide” vax and more. the “Thousand Talents Grants” in the Millions even after Fauxci was told to stop what he was doing within the U.S.
Fauxci owning Glycoprotein Patents 120 and more. Bill Gates backdoor Monies and Stocks. Other agendas being Assisted only after “payday”…”PayDays”! Millions of people Mamed and Infertilized(eugenics).
and NOT TO FORGET Fauxci’s hand in bringing HIV horrors in their Boilogical Warfare attempts!!

It would be a nice idea if Joy would keep her mouth closed until she learns the facts. Oh I forget she doesn’t care about facts she only cares about attention. Although maybe she is not capable of learning how to think and understand truth

I’m confused. I thought we always knew it originated in China. Do any of the View co-hosts have enough intelligence to be talking about it? Even if so, they cannot remain non-political so why do their “opinions” matter to anyone.

Joy Behar,queen of starkville. Tried watching the view a few times and figured out she knows absolutely nothing. No common sense whatsoever. Trump will be back with the backing of the American people. Facing knew and Behar is trying to cover for him instead of facing truth. Fauci has overlayed his cry baby act. Fold up your podium and go home.Behar ,you must’ve a left leaning Democrat. Socialist, communist all rolled into one.

Trump is smarter than you think 🤔 he’s a business man. Joe Biden has not done anything in 43 years, thank God he hasn’t. He’s a puppet and a ding bat with
dementia, Joe Biden is a babbling idiot, I can’t believe his wife would allow him to be made a fool of. She’s so desperate to be first lady, Pretty sad, what kind of wife is that…💩

Joy Bwahaha has already sold her soul. How else do you think that she got on a TV show, especially for so long? She has no skills or background that would warrant such an opportunity and she has no opinions that anyone with half a clue would actually care to hear. So, this is why she hasn’t been able to take down the country: she has no soul remaining to sell for that evil end. 😉

Joyless, you wouldn’t know a fact if it bit you in the behind. You are so blatantly biased and so are your cohorts. How in the world you have a tv show is beyond me. And anyone who watches your show or is in the audience are as bad as you.
