The View co-host Joy Behar has warned that “fascism” has arrived and that Americans are living under a Trump “dictatorship.”
During Thursday’s edition of the left-wing panel show, Behar urged people to “wake up” to the reality of what they are living under.
She ranted:
Are we in the middle of fascist America? Because in this day yesterday in the left, just this last week, I’m just going to give you a summary of what we’ve been through one week.
Pete Hegseth started an illegal war for oil in Venezuela. Right. Stephen Miller threatened a military takeover of Greenland. RFK Jr. slashed childhood vaccine recommendations and ICE shot and killed a United States citizen in Minneapolis.
Yeah, that sort of adds up to me like a dictatorship in the making that we are now in it. We are in it now.
And American people, I think, have to wake up to this a little bit more than we are. We try very hard to give you what we know, but people have to start reading and watching and paying attention a little bit more than we have, because we can lose it.
These ICE agents, by the way, they get a $50,000 bonus when they sign up. They’re highly motivated people who probably don’t have much going on.

Last year, it was reported that Behar and her fellow panelists were suffering from low morale and that executives had urged them to tone down the rhetoric against Trump and Republicans.
The warning came after fellow co-host Sunny Hostin compared January 6th to the crimes of slavery and the Holocaust.
“It was one of the worst moments in American history,” she said of the protests.
“And when you think about the worst moments in American history, you know, like World War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, we need to never forget.”
