Joy Behar Trashes "Foreign Agent" Elon Musk, Claims He's "Pro-Apartheid"

Joy Behar trashed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk during Thursday�s
broadcast of �The View,� claiming that he was a �foreign agent� and was
�pro-apartheid� and asserting that he was effectively running the
federal government while President Donald Trump took �a nap.�

Behar and her cohosts on the ABC News talk show have been critical of
both Trump and Musk since before the inauguration � often suggesting
that the latter is actually the one in charge and directing things from
the sidelines � but on Thursday�s show, Behar took things a step
further.

�Elon Musk kisses [Trump�s] butt and strokes his tiny ego, or big ego,
whatever it is,� Behar began, prompting a smattering of laughter from
the audience. �And he doesn�t get to do � he can take a nap while the
guy, who was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in
South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as
I understand it ��

�He is a naturalized citizen,� cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out.

�He�s a naturalized citizen,� Behar repeated. �Oh, how did he do that?
Did he come over the border legally?�

Griffin said she believed he�d come to the United States on an H1B
Visa, and cohost Sunny Hostin jumped in then to claim that he�d
overstayed that visa, suggesting that made him an illegal immigrant.

�This is just perfectly wonderful for Trump,� Behar pivoted back to her
original point. �He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign
agent, you know, an enemy of the United States, do his job.�

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked whether anyone else wanted to address the
topic, and there was a brief pause before Griffin suggested that maybe
they should �give him a little bit of time� before labeling Musk �an
enemy of the United States.�

Fox News commentator Guy Benson pushed back on Behar�s comments,
saying, �When it�s illegal immigrants, they chant that we are a nation
of immigrants. When it�s a naturalized citizen they don�t like, this
ugly nativism rears its head.�

�At some point, @ABC is going to get sued for something these morons
say. This may be it,� Pradheep Shanker added.


Perhaps with an eye toward just such a lawsuit, Behar scrambled to
water down her claims when the show returned from a commercial break.

�I don�t really know for sure if he was [pro-apartheid]. He grew up in
that time when [it] was in full blown � He was around at that time.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn�t � don�t be suing me, okay, Elon?� Behar
said.
