The View co-host Joy Behar apparently feared that the call by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be assassinated “could be used as propaganda” by Russia against the United States.
On Fox News’ Hannity on Thursday, Graham called for Putin to be killed:
What happens is that Putin looks at [President Joe] Biden, he sized him up, he thinks he can get away with it, and he’s going to keep going and going and going, and nobody in the West is going to stop him. How does this end? Somebody in Russia has to step up to the plate. Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there more successful Col. Stauffenberg in the Russian military? The only way this ends, my friend, is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country a great service and the world a great service.
Behar asked The View panel, “Where do you think this ends? What do you think about what he said?”
“I don’t think anybody knows where it ends right now, but … first of all, who cares what Lindsey says, right?” asked co-host Ana Navarro.
Behar interjected and mentioned that Graham is “a United States senator.”
“You think any Russian general is going to be listening to what Lindsey Graham is saying on Fox News,” Navarro added.
“You don’t think Putin could use that as propaganda [against the United States] and [say] ‘look what they’re trying to do over there?’” Behar hit back.
Graham walked back his remarks on Friday and called for Putin to instead be jailed.
Behar should remember that Hitler was given Czech from McMillan and then invaded Poland. Once the Ukraine situation is settled, with Russia invade another???? Putin is a criminal and should be dealt with!
I think he simply said what a lot of people are thinking. Putin is a threat and danger to the World. It would be common sense to wish that he was just gone.
JOY SHOULD OF BEEN FIRED MANY YEAR’S AGO. BETWEEN WHOOPI AND JOY, I STOPPED WATCHING OVER 6 YEARS AGO.
I personally do not watch these racist and liberal nut jobs on The View. No matter what someone says/does if it is a conservative they always criticize them. As Joy stated once about Trump and others maybe she needs to just sit down which is easy for her and shut up.
Most true Americans who watch the show are just brain washed couch potato’s looking for misery and hate.
Sorry but that is the truth.

She AND the show needs to go…they do nothing but “praise” Biden and the left and HATE everyone and everything else. They ALL are racists and haters of our Democracy which strangely enough gives them the right to spout their hatred of our country. If they were in Argentina or another Socialist country, even Russia and tried their BS they would be locked up for LIFE. They don’t understand nor APPRECIATE the country that they live in.
