The View host Joy Behar warned that Russians are working to get President Trump reelected.
Only weeks removed from the Senate’s vote to find Trump not guilty on two articles of impeachment, Behar condemned Senate Republicans as “complicit” in Russian schemes to sway the 2020 presidential election in Trump’s favor.
“The Russians are at it again,” Behar said. “U.S. intelligence warns that Russia is meddling in the 2020 election, duh! And they want to keep Trump in office, double-duh!”
Behar’s comments come a day after the New York Times reported a classified briefing last week in which lawmakers were told Russia is meddling in the upcoming presidential election in favor of Trump.
“This is his own intelligence community saying this,” Behar said. “This is not some anti-Trump media talking about this. These are his people. So, should Democrats be his biggest concern, or should the Russians be his biggest concern? As if we didn’t know.”
“Can I just point out one thing?” Behar said. “The Republicans are complicit because last week the Senate, the Republican Senate, blocked three separate election security bills.”
