The latest bizarre statement to come out of the current presidential election cycle: Joy Behar from The View declared Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is in cahoots with terrorists.
“The thing about Trump, though, he’s the recruiter-in-chief,” Behar said, to laughter and applause. “He is basically working with ISIS to kill us. They are working together.”
“Yes,” Whoopi Goldberg vigorously agreed.

Behar’s theory? “Every time you go after the Muslims and you talk about how they shouldn’t come into the country and how they’re all a bunch of whatevers, you are saying to ISIS, ‘Make another video to show people who are sympathetic to your cause,'” she said.

“And don’t think that they haven’t made many videos showing Donald Trump,” Behar added. “He is a dangerous menace to the country.”
Behar continued that she wakes “up in the morning so stressed out” because people still want to own guns.

Trump and the media have been at odds more than usual recently. The Trump campaign revoked Washington Post press credentials Monday after the Post appeared to suggest Trump said Obama worked with ISIS.
“The Washington Post unfortunately covers Mr. Trump very inaccurately,” the campaign posted on their website. “Today’s headline, ‘Donald Trump Suggests President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting’ is a perfect example. We no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for ‘clicks’ above journalistic integrity.
The Post disagreed. “Donald Trump’s decision to revoke The Washington Post’s press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press,” Post Executive Editor Martin Baron said in a statement.
