Joy Behar told her co-hosts on ABC’s “The View” Wednesday that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling in former President Donald Trump’s immunity suit meant he was “not a king, he took a mug shot.” “This means that he is simply a fraudster,” he said.
“Yesterday, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., unanimously, including some of his appointees, unanimously ruled that he was wrong,” Goldberg said. I gave up,” he said. They rejected his claim for presidential immunity, ruling that he could be tried for trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. They said, “No, no, no, no.”
Behar said, “Can I say amen?”
Mr. Goldberg continued. “And they said you can appeal. But we don’t think you’ll win, because that’s like giving crazy people power without accountability. That’s impossible. Yo. That’s what happened.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin said: It depends on case law, and they said, we can’t do that–“
Mr. Goldberg reiterated, “We can’t do that.”
Hostin went on to say, “We cannot accept President Trump’s assertion that he has unlimited power to commit crimes that disarm the most fundamental.”
“It’s basic,” Goldberg echoed.
“Check your enforcement,” Hostin said.
Behar said, “Hallelujah.”
“So, I think this is also very important, if they want to do a rehash in front of this court, which actually has 11 members instead of three, that I said I could, it’s called a levee.” That would allow the trial being held in Washington, D.C., to move forward. And they also said that if you want to appeal to the Supreme Court, you better do it by next Monday. ”
“In other words, Trump is not a king, he’s just a con man with a mug shot,” Behar said.
