“The View” television show co-host Joy Behar was widely ridiculed on Wednesday for expressing her belief that the Supreme Court Is “poised to pass a bill,” demonstrating a staggering level of ignorance regarding the US system of checks and balances.
“The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting the New York City state laws,” Behar announced, receiving no correction or pushback from her fellow hosts on the incorrect claim.
In reality, only the Congress can “pass bills,” with the Supreme Court’s function being to provide rulings on legal cases.
“The View” on ABC is known for featuring a panel of liberal feminist hosts, and has faced “significant audience erosion” in recent months.
Behar’s “the Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill” statement was widely mocked on social media.
What is she smoking?!
Behar warns: "The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting the New York City State laws" on concealed carry to make it "an open carry state, and an open carry city."

Joy Behar: “The Supreme Court is ready to pass a bill…”
Not one of her fellow panelists corrected her.

Behar also claimed that here have been “more than 130 mass shootings in America this year alone,” without citing any sources.
The View immediately dove into nonsense today.
Joy Behar parrots a totally factitious stat claiming there have been "more than 130 mass shootings in America this year alone."

As of press time. Behar has not released a retraction or apology for the claim the the Supreme Court is going to “pass a bill.”
