It didn’t take long for co-host Joy Behar to uncork her dangerous rhetoric and unfounded conspiracy theories against Republicans. Getting ZERO pushback, she asserted that the political right wanted to imprison gays like Russia and execute them like Uganda:
Let me point out that Uganda, for example. There are countries all over the world that are attacking gay people. This is the new scapegoat du jour right now.
