Joy Behar never read a U.S Constitution she liked--wants Trump charged for 'hate speech'

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”
― Benjamin Franklin

Joy Behar, the least intelligent host on "The View," asked on Thursday why President Trump has not yet been "charged" with "hate speech." She was being serious when she said, "Why can't he be sued by the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] for 'hate speech'"?

“I don’t get it,” she said in a full-throated admission that she doesn't know her derriere from her antecubital fossa. “How does he get away with this?” she wondered, having never actually read nor understood the U.S. Constitution, particularly the First Amendment.

Joyless, as she is known to Megan McCain, was referencing Trump’s recent tweets about four fresh faces of Congress: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

The tweets sparked a leftist media feeding frenzy, and created controversy at the president’s campaign rally on Wednesday night in North Carolina where “send her back” was briefly chanted by the crowd about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Trump should have stopped the chant immediately but waited and finally condemned it on Thursday, telling the press: “I disagree with it ... I felt a little bit badly about it ... I was not happy with it, I disagree with it.”

When it first occurred, the "press" and the Democrats contrasted the grace of the late Sen. John McCain, who while on the presidential campaign trail against Barack Obama, stopped a woman from implying that he was from Kenya. That is now, but when McCain was running in 2008, the press and the other hypocrites on the left attacked him as a "racist," "bigot" and whatever else they could get away with.

In a series of Sunday tweets, Trump wrote:

So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run . 

 Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough.

I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

Behar’s idea that Trump should be shut up and charged by the government for saying words is characteristically stupid on her part. Just because speech is offensive, it is protected under the First Amendment and Behar, a failed comedian with a history of controversial statements herself, should be well aware of this.

Earlier this year, another sort of comedian pretending to be a journalist, Christiane Amanpour, said Trump supporters chanting “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton were engaging in “hate speech” and should have been banned from doing so. Amanpour should know better, but it's possible she is from another planet and doesn't quite understand the law.
