Corrupt FCC Chair Brendan Carr, on Fox, backing up Trump's threat against The View with talk of "consequences"

For those not aware of how the biggest snowflake's fee-fees were hurt this time, this story from the Daily Beast

linking to this Entertainment Weekly story

explains that Joy Behar had offended Trump yesterday:

In the aftermath of Trump making a shocking allegation Tuesday that Obama "was trying to lead a coup" in the past — which even prompted a rare response from the former president — Whoopi Goldberg introduced a Hot Topic on Wednesday's episode in observance of the strange development.

Joy Behar then jumped in with a criticism of her own, saying, "First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6. Who was that again? That was not Obama," referencing the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection on the United States Capitol, which mostly supporters of Trump participated in.

Behar continued, "The thing about him is he's so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy."


This morning on Fox News (video via Aaron Rupar on Bluesky):
