ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar didn’t get the memo on toning down the rhetoric. During Thursday’s interview with the former host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, Behar claimed Donald Trump is scapegoating immigrants and warned, “Don't forget Nazi Germany, the Jews were the scapegoat, and look what happened here.” Elsewhere, Noah claimed “some people might struggle” with a President Kamala Harris because she is a black woman.
Behar asked Noah, who was on to promote his new book, “He's blaming them for violent crime, which the crime rate is down, housing costs, which Kamala has a program to fix that. He's saying that these immigrants are eating the cats and dogs. That is one of the dumbest things he's ever said, so as an immigrant from South Africa yourself, give me your reaction to being scapegoated?”
Omitting all the border crises and illegal immigration generally, Noah claimed that Trump and his supporters aren’t all that different from Americans of previous eras, “So, I think if you look at these issues in only an American context, they will seem unique. You know, I think the first thing to remember is this has always been a rite of passage in America. It’s a terrible rite of passage. It's almost like a form of political hazing, but that's what America does.”
