Forgotten History: Behar Claims Only Trump Criticizes Predecessors In Recent Politics

Perhaps “📺The View” should change its theme song to Sam Cooke’s “Wonderful World.” It may seem rather appropriate with the intro of “Don’t Know Much About History.”

That is because cohost 👤Joy Behar made a bold claim on Thursday’s show — that in her lifetime, President 👤Donald Trump is the first sitting president to outwardly trash a former president, per The Daily Wire.

Behar, 82, seemed to forget how former President Barack Obama took former President George W. Bush to task for eight years on basically everything.

The controversial statement started with Behar talking about the Trump administration’s criticisms of former President 👤Joe Biden. She stated that since Biden was no longer in office, they need to “move on.”

“They also have a tendency to place the blame on the Biden administration. It’s like, move on, that ship has sailed,” she said. “I never remember in my lifetime a sitting president trashing a previous president. I’ve never heard that before. You never heard — you know — Ronald Reagan didn’t do it, their Saint Ronald.”
