Joy Behar is really a piece of work.
She took things way too far while the ladies on The View were discussing President Trump’s response to the coronavirus.

Rush Limbaugh recently stated that he believes the coronavirus is being used as a tool by the Chinese to bring down Trump.
“Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump. Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus … The coronavirus is the common cold, folks,” he claimed.
“The survival rate of this is 98%! You have to read very deeply to find that number. Two percent of the people that get the coronavirus die. That’s less than the flu, folks. That is a far lower death statistic than any form of influenza, which is an annual thing that everybody gets shots for. There’s nothing unusual about the coronavirus. In fact, coronavirus is not something new. There are all kinds of viruses that have that name,” the radio host continued.
Limbaugh then warned his listeners not to “let [their] guard down” because any infection would be “miserable” before saying, “I’m telling you, the [Chinese communists] are trying to weaponize this thing.” [Washington Examiner]

Of course, Joy Behar and the rest of the liberal ladies on The View don’t share this belief.
They would rather see all of America sick with the virus, rather than see Trump proven right on his stance that the coronavirus is just an advanced version of the flu.
Behar took aim at Rush’s theory and mocked his prior addiction to pain medications by telling him to “Take a pill and keep quiet.”

So not only is she mocking Rush’s former addiction to pain meds, but she’s also insulting someone who’s battling advanced lung cancer.
Behar has truly lost all morals.
