‘Furious’ Behar Whines, Press Excluded From Meeting With Russia Is ‘Treason’
On Thursday’s The View, an upset Joy Behar ranted that Trump barring U.S. press from a meeting with Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov Wednesday was tantamount to “treason” and should upset every American:
While Sarah Huckabee Sanders explained in today's briefing, that it was normal for a visiting foreign minister to have an official photographer in the room (and that the White House's official photographer was also in the room), Behar's rant seemed solely centered on the idea that the American press wasn’t allowed in the room. Perhaps Behar failed to realize that our former president also barred the American press from meetings and not just in an isolated incidence but as routine.
What a Tool ....

BEHAR: He is speaking to the Russian foreign minister Lavrov and Ambassador Kislyak. He is the guy who Michael Flynn got fired for, talking to him. Possibly talking about sanctions. And in the room, there is Trump talking to these Russians, and guess who -- the Russian press is there covering it. Guess who is missing from that room? The American press is not allowed.
HOSTIN: They were barred.
BEHAR: They were barred from the room. OK? All I'm saying in this lengthy speech that I hate to give, this is treason to me. This is un-American. Unpatriotic. Americans should be furious. Furious. This is the American press being left out-- It hurts my feelings frankly.
