God bless Meghan McCain. I don’t always agree with her, but I don’t know how she deals with the lunacy of Joy Behar day in and day out. It’s painful enough to WATCH. Can you imagine having to sit at that table and listen to Behar’s voice ringing in your ear?
It’s like a medieval form of torture.
On Tuesday, the co-hosts discussed Trump’s willingness to meet with Iran with “no preconditions.”
“Kind of like he did with Kim Jong-un,” Whoopi Goldberg said. “Now he may want to finish that conversation first because North Korea is still building nukes, according to new reports. So why is he suddenly willing to chat? Could this be more ‘smoke and mirrors?’”
Behar eventually chimed in and went off on Trump’s “toddler brain.”
“He’s like a child. When you talk to a child they’re only in the moment. You say, ‘What happened at school yesterday?’ They don’t want to talk about it; that’s yesterday. ‘What’s going to happen tomorrow?’ ‘I don’t know and I don’t care.’ They’re only in the moment,” she said. “He’s like that. He’s got the brain of a toddler.”
McCain jumped in and pointed out that North Korea and Iran are two VERY different countries with two VERY different situations.
“The point that you’ve made so many times, which I think is really important, is that Iran isn’t North Korea. North Korea is petrifying enough, and I think all of us in good faith went into his meeting with Kim Jong Un thinking, ‘Okay, maybe some diplomacy could possibly happen,'” she said.
She’s not wrong. As much as I HATED the idea of Trump giving that chubby idiot the time of day, we all kind of felt hopeful that something good could come out of it.
That really got Behar going. She was all (I’m paraphrasing), “BUT THE IRAN DEAL WAAAAAHHHHH!”
“But we had a deal with Iran. Everything was kind of calm for a while. Obama did something. And now he’s stirring up Iran. Why?” she asked.
Stupid question. Cue McCain.
“Do you want to go through the Iran deal? Because the Iran deal was the number one thing I was petrified by, by the Obama Administration,” McCain said. “The idea that we could ever trust a country where the people go out in the streets and scream ‘Death to America, death to Israel, death to Israel’ with the missiles that they drop — the idea that we could have ever, in any way, trust Iran — you were fine with the Iran deal?”
“Well, they said for ten years they couldn’t build a nuclear weapon. That sounded okay,” Behar replied.
OMG HOW NAIVE ARE YOU JOY.
“That’s insane,” McCain said. “The idea that we could trust this adversarial country—“
“They’re not trusting; they’re verifying,” Behar said, clearly trying to come off as some sort of wise individual.
“I’m sorry, that’s such ridiculous spin,” McCain said. “It was such ridiculous spin from the beginning because we cannot trust Iran ever.”
I don’t know how you do it, Meghan.
