Joy Behar demands RFK Jr. defend potentially spoiling election for Biden: 'Delusion has destroyed a country'
"The View" co-host Joy Behar lashed out at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday's show over fears the third-party candidate would steal votes away from President Biden.
"Someone has to ask him why are you doing this? Why do you want to destroy the election and hand it to Trump if possible?" Behar scolded.
"He’s a Kennedy. His forefathers are rolling over in their graves. His own family is telling him — we already have one clown in the race. Do we need two of them?" she added.
Behar's comments come as Democratic strategists and members of the Kennedy family warn that the candidate could seriously threaten Biden's re-election chances.

Co-host Sara Haines pushed back by arguing she didn't think Kennedy was purposefully trying to "ruin the election" but was trying to appeal to voters like herself who think there should be room for a third-party candidate in the future.
"I just don't think it's this election," she added.
Behar insisted that RFK Jr.'s candidacy would destroy the country if it helped former President Trump get re-elected.
"Well, I think many times delusion has destroyed a country and that’s what we’re dealing with here with this. The polls are too close," she feared.
"[P]eople are starting to focus and realize the danger that Trump poses. I believe that," Behar continued.
Democratic strategists have sounded the alarm about the third-party threat to Biden's re-election, as polls show a tight race between Trump and Biden.
