"The View" cohost Joy Behar got 'physically ill' watching 'idiots' during Donald Trump's State of the Union address

The View has given its own State of the Union address in reaction to Donald Trump's State of the Union address.

Hours after Tuesday night's event saw the president spar with Rep. Ilhan Omar, label left-leaning politicians as "crazy," and witness Rep. Al Green hold up a protest sign that read, "Black people aren't apes" in reference to a recent scandal, the talk show cohost slammed the politically charged evening as an embarrassment to the nation.

Comedian and longtime View panelist Joy Behar, however, went in on Trump specifically.

"I watched the whole thing, and I was physically ill from it — and more nauseous than usual, watching him. The way he was demonizing immigrants made me sick," Behar said. "We welcomed immigrants in this country. My family left Italy because there was no work in southern Italy, and they came here. That's why I'm sitting here today. It made me feel really sad. That's the reason America has been what it is."

There is an underlying churning from the anxiety this guy induces. Someday it must break. I can’t take much more.

Frederick Trump was also a draft dodger and lost his German citizenship because of it. It seems the rotten apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
