Behar Blames Trump For Weather That Caused Burning Man Disaster
During Tuesday’s broadcast of the ABC talk show “The View,” co-host Joy Behar blamed the weather disaster that left tens of thousands stranded at the Burning Man festival on former President Donald Trump.
According to the unhinged leftist co-host, Trump and the entire Republican Party are responsible for disastrous flooding that ended the festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert early.
During the first episode of “The View” to air since their summer break ended on Labor Day, Behar and her co-hosts argued that Trump’s presidency prompted a rise in the use of fossil fuels, which they said caused the heavy rains — leading to flash flooding, a shelter-in-place order and ankle-deep mud that made it nearly impossible for vehicles and pedestrians to leave the Burning Man Festival.
“This is one of the many tragedies this summer due to climate change,” Behar began, with her co-hosts voicing their agreement. “This is the one — the number one existential problem —”
“It rained three months’ worth over 24 hours,” co-host Sunny Hostin interrupted.
“I hear Republicans say, ‘Oh, it’s not manmade, it’s not about fossil fuels,” Behar continued. “You know, when Trump was president, all of that went up, the fossil fuel usage went up. Menace to the planet. Please don’t vote for him, I’m begging you. Get him out of here, he’s so dangerous.”
Co-host Ana Navarro, who pretends to be a Republican but holds no true Republican views, then joined the conversation by claiming that two other recent events were directly tied to climate change — the Maui wildfires and Hurricane Idalia. However, this is a blatant lie — as there have been numerous hurricanes with similar paths and wind speeds in the distant past, and the Maui wildfires have been blamed on downed power lines, though that has not been confirmed as of yet.
“There were fires in Greece, there were fires in Italy, Phoenix had 116-degree temperature, Palm Springs must have been over 100,” Behar added, claiming, “They have to stop denying and stop with the fossil fuels and whatever else is causing this, I’m begging you, don’t vote for him.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has fired back at leftists for trying to use Hurricane Idalia and other weather events to push climate hysteria, stating: “So, I think the notion that somehow hurricanes are something new, that’s just false. And we’ve got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters. We know from history there’s been times when it’s very busy in Florida, late ‘40s, early ‘50s, you had a lot of hits of significant hurricanes.”
“The notion that somehow if we just adopt, you know, very left-wing policies at the federal level that somehow we will not have hurricanes, that is a lie,” he added.
