“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Friday that Senate Republicans are trying to push through Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in order to retain “white power.”
Behar lodged the accusation on Friday, one day after Kavanaugh and the first woman to accuse him publicly of sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Ford, in her testimony, accused Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed and groping her at a party when the two were in high school in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh denied Ford's claims in his testimony.
Behar cited a study from the Brookings Institution that found white people currently make up 61 percent of the U.S. population, a figure that is expected to drop to 49.7 percent by 2044.
“Pretty soon we’ll be like South Africa, apartheid, where 10 percent of white people were running the country,” Behar said. “It seems like the trajectory that we’re on here.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg pushed back on Behar's claim, saying that would not happen in the U.S.
“We hope not, but this is what they want,” Behar continued. “The people who are only interested in retaining white power in this country.”
Sunny Hostin, a co-host on "The View" and former sex crimes prosecutor, said she was “disgusted” by how the sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh have become a partisan issue.
“I’ve interviewed hundreds of victims of sexual assault and I know how hard it is for them to come forward,” Hostin said. “That woman 100 percent, 150 percent credible. She was telling the truth, in my view.”
Hostin said she viewed “credibility, candor, character and impartiality” to be the most important qualities for a Supreme Court Justice. And Kavanaugh “doesn’t have those,” she said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination on Friday after Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) requested a one-week delay in the floor vote.
Flake announced his support for Kavanaugh earlier on Friday but later asked for a delay after speaking with other lawmakers.
“I think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week in order to let the FBI to do an investigation limited in time and scope,” he said.
Senate GOP leaders agreed later Friday to a one-week delay of Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination to allow the FBI to investigate sexual assault allegations against him.
I thought surely Alyssa would be on The View today.
Of course. He wasn’t genuine.
Joy Behar: I’s vote for a rapist... as long as they are pro-abortion...
Hey b**** the only black on the Supreme Court was nominated by a Republican
Democrats are only interested in killing babies.
I love this “she’s 150% credible!” stuff. Does that mean that the ‘creditor’ is a certifiable cretin?
STFU, you fat, smelly, moo-cow !
“Pretty soon we’ll be like South Africa, apartheid, where 10 percent of white people were running the country,” Behar said. “It seems like the trajectory that we’re on here.”
We seem to be more on the trajectory of post-apartheid South Africa. You know, where every single thing the evil, horrible, bad, white guys said would happen is happening.
She doesn’t think of him as a ‘genuine’ Black.
He’s an Uncle Tom to her.
In what passed for her mind, there are no Black on the SCOTUS.
BLM,next???
Hating white people has been institutionalized in media, entertainment and government.
To Democrats Trump is just a stumbling block.
Who comes after Trump? A Democrat or a never-Trumper Republican who will happily undo everything Trump has tried to do?
Trump is viewed as a stumbling block by the Bush League Republicans too.
They have 30 years invested in this bipartisan plan to fundamentally alter the country.
They are not going to abandon it.
If Kavanaugh is confirmed, can we send Joy Behar to Guantanamo?
It’s a shame that whatever network her show appears on doesn’t recoil in shame over such comments, or minimally the lack of intelligence on display.
My, another person who supposedly speaks of tolerance and diversity, but is among the first to make racial remarks.
Well before white people drop into a minority, there will be more people on welfare than taxpayers paying to support it.
