This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the ladies of The View jumping to a whole new level of “Trump derangement syndrome” following the third criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Led by Trump Hater in Chief Joy Behar, they talked up a plea deal that prosecutor Jack Smith could offer that sends the former president away for good — but not jail. Instead, and due to concerns that the Secret Service might not allow a former president to live in a jail cell if he’s convicted, Behar suggested exile in Saudi Arabia.

“Wouldn’t that be good?” she said to some audience laughter. “I don’t even care if he goes to jail. I don’t have it in my heart to punish the guy. I just want him to go away and stop ruining my country.”
From Thursday’s The View on ABC:
JOY BEHAR: “Well, what about making a deal? What about, Sunny, if he makes a deal with [special counsel Jack] Smith?”
SUNNY HOSTIN: “Without jail time?”
BEHAR: “Without jail, and he says, “I’m going away and moving to Saudi Arabia”?
Wouldn’t that be good? Just go away. We don’t — I don’t even care if he goes to jail. I don’t have it in my heart to punish the guy. I just want him to go away and stop ruining my country.”

HOSTIN: “I think there are certain prosecutors that would offer him a plea agreement without time if he would agree to never run for public office again anywhere.”
BEHAR: “And go away. I don’t want to even see him in the Enquirer.”
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “Presumably, The View does not air in Saudi Arabia, so this idea might have some appeal to Trump — and many of us — who wouldn’t mind never again hearing Joy Behar’s voice, but I’d recommend flipping this and exiling the entire crew of The View to Saudi Arabia so none of us have to hear their discombobulated daily rantings.”
Rating: FOUR out of FIVE SCREAMS.
