Joy Behar doesn't think Trump will run in 2024 'unless he does it from Rikers Island'
Joy Behar told her co-hosts on ABC's 'The View' that she doesn't think former President Donald Trump will run in 2024 as he will be locked up in New York City’s jail Rikers Island.
“Well, first of all, I didn’t watch CPAC, so I have some questions," Behar said during a panel discussion on Trump's CPAC speech. "Was there a laugh track this year? Because it’s really the funniest show on television, and I thought CPAC is perfect because C stands for ‘cult.’ You know, I’ve never seen people working so hard to worship the god that is Donald Trump. I don’t think that he will run again in 2024 unless he does it from Rikers Island.”

“It’s interesting what happened in the world this week," Behar continued. "Nicolas Sarkozy, who was the president of France, has been convicted, and he’s under arrest for a year. Berlusconi — he was the president of Italy for a while, was also arrested, convicted, and put on house arrest. So there’s a precedent set in the world. It’s not, like, oh, we can’t imagine a former president under arrest. Yes, we can. Yes, we can," she insisted.
Earlier this month, MEAWW reported how Behar managed to rile up frustrated parents on social media with a rather controversial tweet about having children "repeat the year" due to COVID-19 concerns.
Behar was responding to a New York Times article that noted how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had determined -- after almost a year into the pandemic -- that it was safe to put children back into schools. “Sending kids back to school this year is so fraught with anxiety and uncertainty," she wrote on Twitter. "Why not just have everyone repeat the year? Is that such a far-out idea?”

'The View' co-host has been a vocal critic of Trump, who advocated for schools to be opened throughout the 2020 campaign trail. Last month, Behar said the 45th POTUS had “made it his business for four years to rape this country.”
“I worry about my grandchild, you know, I only have one grandchild and one daughter," Behar told her co-hosts on 'The View'. "There are some people who have no children who don’t worry about the environment as much. I know them. They just say, ‘Well, I’m not going to be here.’ Well, I’m not going to be here either, but my little Luca is going to be here, and I want him to be able to drink the water and breathe the air."
She then went on to celebrate President Joe Biden's executive actions to put the US back into the Paris climate agreement and canceling the Keystone pipeline. "He has other things on his agenda that he is going to do to fix the environment," Behar said, before lashing out at the previous president.
“This man, this Trump, he made it his business for four years to rape this country," she said. "It’s disgusting, and I’m so happy to have somebody who cares about the children back.”
