NextImg:Joy Behar Blames Obama For Trump — And Charlie Chaplin For Hitler

Joy Behar appeared to blame a joke made by 44th President Barack Obama for the rise of his successor, 45th President Donald Trump — and then she compounded the analogy by suggesting that silent film star Charlie Chaplin was somehow responsible for the rise of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Behar made the comments during Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” saying that she believed mocking certain people made them desperate to claim power in retaliation for being made the butt of the joke.

Behar began the segment by complaining that, in her lifetime, Trump was one of “the most dangerous” people ever to have occupied the Oval Office.

“He is probably the most dangerous,” she said. “So you have somebody like – and he doesn’t have a good sense of humor — we all know that at the correspondents’ dinner, when President Obama made a joke about him, his skin is thinner than his hair, and he got so pissed off that he had to run for president and go after poor Obama, who was running this country. He’s a menace. So … I present that to the panel: what are you supposed to do?”

Co-host Sara Haines weighed in, saying that comedy was where people should go when politics and other stresses took over. Noting that politics and media often sought to divide people — intentionally, in many cases — she said that comedy was where people could come together.

“Sara, that is true. That’s what I’m trying to say here,” Behar continued. “But the man doesn’t take it —”

“Doesn’t it make it more funny?” co-host Sunny Hostin asked, arguing that Trump getting outraged over jokes made them funnier.

“They made fun of Hitler, Charlie Chaplin made fun of Hitler in 1940,” Behar pushed back, adding, “By 1945 millions and millions of people were dead!”

“The audience needs to laugh. The people need to laugh,” Haines protested. “I don’t care, I’m not checking on Trump.”

“But it makes him so angry I don’t know what he’s going to do next,” Behar said. “You can make a joke about him, and he’ll annihilate the whole world.”
