Joy Behar, the outspoken, liberal voice of “The View” who reached her boiling point of disgust toward President Trump, went off on the president by calling him an “outrage.”
During Wednesday's episode of the gabfest, one day after President Trump continued to float a conspiracy theory that former Congressman Joe Scarborough had been involved in the 2001 death of an aide with an undiagnosed heart condition, Behar let loose.
"(Trump) picks on some nonsensical story to go after and destroy this family," explained Behar, referencing the relatives of Lori Klausutis, who died of a heart condition in Scarborough's office. "He's an outrage."
When a White House reporter asked Trump on Tuesday if the president thought Scarborough was responsible for the young woman's death, he implied that he did.
"Yeah, a lot of people suggest that and hopefully someday people are gonna find out," said Trump, without citing a specific source of the murder claim. "Certainly, very suspicious situation."

Whoopi Goldberg than mentioned that Twitter refused to take down Trump's Scarborough posts but did fact-check the president's bogus mail-in voter fraud claims. A blustery Trump threatened to shut down the social media platform for allegedly infringing on his free speech rights.
Turning to fellow co-host Sunny Hostin, Goldberg wondered aloud if Trump had the power to bring down Twitter.
"I don't believe, Sunny, that (Trump) can just wave his finger and shut them down," said Goldberg. "I don't think that's part of his purview but then, you know, I'm always surprised. Am I crazy?”
Hostin, who is also a lawyer, agreed that the president does not have the power to randomly suppress companies that disagree with him.
