There were a lot of warnings from left-leaning pundits that President Trump’s pick of U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Brett Kavanaugh could mean the end of America, but The View’s Joy Behar stood out and is our Liberal Media Scream of the week.

Today, on the ABC show the day after Trump announced his pick of the conservative judge and Bush ally, she said that the president should not have been allowed to name a court nominee because he is being investigated by the special Russia counsel. She somehow linked the pick to people “who will still be alive and need abortions.”





To applause, Behar said:

“He’s under investigation. We’re going to have Alan Dershowitz on today and we'll ask him. Why would a president, who is under investigation by the FBI for obstruction of justice and collusion, be allowed to pick a Supreme Court justice who will be there -- I'll be dead. There are many people in this room who will still be alive and need abortions and what have you, need health care. How dare he be allowed to do this when he is under investigation! [Cheers and applause]”

Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Behar was more unhinged than normal this morning. We only have one president at a time, so if President Trump can’t nominate a justice, because she’s concerned that after she’s dead ‘many people’ will ‘need abortions,’ how will the position ever be filled? Her mind works in mysterious ways. Presumably, if Trump picked a pro-Roe v Wade judge, her indignation about investigations of Trump would quickly fade.”

Rating: Five out of five screams.
