Joy Behar Dares Trump to Punish "The View" Co-Hosts If He Returns to White House: "Go Ahead! Try It!"

"Go ahead! Try it!" Behar said on the show. "We're not afraid of you."

Behar's comments come after Trump has repeatedly threatened to retaliate against his political opponents if he is re-elected president. In recent weeks, Trump has called for the prosecution of several prominent Democrats, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Trump has also specifically targeted "The View," calling the show "a disgrace" and a "cesspool of hate." In 2021, Trump threatened to sue the show for defamation after Behar called him a "narcissist" and a "sociopath."

Behar's dare to Trump is likely to further escalate the tensions between the former president and his media critics. Trump has a long history of attacking the media, and he has repeatedly accused the media of being biased against him.

It is unclear whether Trump would actually retaliate against "The View" if he is re-elected president. However, Behar's comments are a reminder of the deep divisions in American politics and the growing threat to democracy.
