“The View” co-host Pleasure Behar was already mourning President Biden’s absence from the White Home on Thursday following the president’s farewell handle, saying, “I miss him already.”
“I miss him. He’s a good person. You know, he spent the last 50 years caring about the country. This other one [Donald Trump] spent 50 years scamming everybody, you know, and trying to stay out of jail. You know who I’m talking about. I really miss Biden. I feel like we were safe, like I didn’t have to worry, was anything going to blow up? I could live my life while he was there,” Behar mentioned.
“Every day I wake up and I worry, what is this guy going to do next?” she mentioned of incoming President-elect Donald Trump.
Biden delivered a farewell handle on Wednesday that took goal at “oligarchs.”

The president in his farewell address warned Americans there is a “dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people.”
“I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. … That’s a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people. The dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked,” he said.
Liberal media hosts heaped praise on the president’s speech, which commentators called one of the “best,” “most memorable,” and “sober” speeches of his life.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow focused primarily on the parts of Biden’s speech that warned a couple of tech “oligarchy” that threatens the country and concerns over the free press after Meta announced it was ending fact-checks on its social media platforms.
“That’s stark and sober, and, like I mentioned, it put a chill down my backbone,” Maddow said. “I feel he’s appropriate, and I’m glad he took this time to say it.”

Behar, a huge fan of Biden and major Trump critic, also called out country music star Carrie Underwood on Tuesday for agreeing to play at Trump’s inauguration.
“She says ‘I love our country.’ How do you’re keen on your nation and assist and normalize any individual who was a convicted felon who actually needs to destroy the nation, for my part? I don’t perceive the way you say you’re keen on your nation on the similar time that you just normalize this convicted felon,” Behar mentioned.

“I might not be the individual to say don’t do it, as a result of I consider in free speech and every part about it. I personally wouldn’t do it. Nobody’s requested me, however that’s one other story,” Behar said, noting she would never personally perform at Trump’s inauguration.
