“The View” co-host Joy Behar is suggesting President Joe Biden will get the benefit of the doubt about his handling of classified documents because he is not viewed as a liar.
During a segment of the show Tuesday, the panel weighed in on a report a U.S. attorney is reviewing approximately 10 classified documents found at an office used by Biden.
Behar sought to draw a comparison between former President Donald Trump taking classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate, and the documents from Biden’s time as vice president found in his office.
“There differences in what happened,” Behar said. “We all know that Trump is a liar and a thief. We know that. So it’s not that big a jump to say that he obstructed and he lied.”
She continued, “We don’t think that Biden is a liar and a thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt. That’s partly what’s going on.”
The co-host suggested Republican lawmakers will “spin this that it’s just as bad as Trump.”
“The lying has been so invasive, so ubiquitous that no one will believe the truth anymore. And you can put that at the feet of Donald Trump, who started the lying,” she added.
