Joy Behar Calls on Trump to Resign over Coronavirus Response — I Would Feel Better with Pence at the Helm

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar called on President Donald Trump to resign over his administration’s coronavirus response.

Behar said, “He does not inspire confidence. I could hear him breathing. Could you? … Is there a microphone in his nostrils, do you think? It speaks of somebody who’s not in great health, and he’s been so exposed to a few people now who have had the coronavirus.”

Co-host Meghan McCain, said, “The problem is when I watched it live like we all did, is he’s a politician that inspires anger really well. If you want to get riled up and angry, he’s a politician who does it well. The more I feel your pain and fear, incapable of it. He could have been reading the phonebook last night. He should have been saying, I understand Americans are scared. Have a Ronald Reagan-esque moment. His inability to emote with the American people about how scary this is, and people at this point I can safely say there’s a lot of healthy fear.”

Behar said, “Don’t you think this is a good time for him to resign? I mean Pence has shown to be rather capable I believe.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “There’s a little more confidence in Pence.”

Behar said, “I have a little more confidence with Pence and Fauci at the helm. I do not feel any confidence with this guy. He has been incompetent from the giddy-up. Now we’re in a major crisis and he does not know how to handle it.”

She added, “This is his Katrina.”
