Behar’s Contentious Commentary
Joy Behar, a prominent host on the television program “The View,” has once more ignited a firestorm due to her ill-advised remarks concerning a recent tragic occurrence. The event she referred to was a distressing shooting incident at an election rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack resulted in injuries to Trump and multiple casualties among the attendees.
The Unfortunate Event
In Monday’s episode of “The View,” Behar chose to discuss the issue of gun violence in connection with the shooting. Regrettably, her comments rapidly descended into a heated argument.
Behar initiated her commentary by stating, “The shooter, yes, it was a 20-year-old kitchen worker from nearby Bethel Park in Pennsylvania.” She subsequently cited a report from a CNN correspondent that claimed the shooter had acquired 50 rounds of ammunition from a local gun store mere hours before the rally. Behar expressed doubts about why this information wasn’t disclosed sooner.
Behar’s Assertions
Continuing with her contentious comments, Behar stated, “Somebody buys 20-year-old white guy? I mean we’ve seen that many times now, young white men with guns and nobody reported that he bought 15 rounds of ammunition?” This isn’t an isolated instance of Behar or her co-hosts making controversial statements aimed at others. The show, known for its liberal slant, has a track record of offering outrageous and poorly thought-out viewpoints.
Information on the Shooter
The shooter identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20 years old, left virtually no indication of his motives prior to his shocking attempt to assassinate Trump at the rally. Details about Crooks’ life and intentions are still largely shrouded in mystery. Federal authorities have stated that Crooks had no recorded mental health issues, had never made any previous threats, and was not on the radar of any federal law enforcement agencies.
Public Response
REACTIONS:
I don’t think they sell ammo one by one. She’s complaining that he bought A BOX.

I don’t think she knows what a round is.

Joy Behar is APPALLED that it's legal for adults to buy 50 rounds of ammunition without it triggering a SWAT raid.

Tell me you know nothing about firearms without telling me you know nothing about firearms.

I'm completely speechless. A person buying 50 rounds of ammo, like one box of ammo.
Lord help her when she finds out they are selling them in vending machines, or you can order it mail to your home.— Canes Fan ???????? (@hcanes100) July 15, 2024
