The View's Joy Behar offers Biden slogan: 'Vote for me — I'm the only one who's not nuts'
March 15, 2024
"The View" co-host Joy Behar thinks she has a winning campaign slogan for President Joe Biden: "Vote for me — I'm the only one who's not nuts."
Her creative idea for a catchy lawn sign came amid a discussion about "spoiler" candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's running as an independent against Biden and the GOP's presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
Kennedy, a notorious anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, has said that he's thinking of the controversial football player, Aaron Rodgers, as a potential running mate. While Rodgers has a solid fan base, he shares anti-vaccine policies with Kennedy. In the past, Rodgers has also repeated Alex Jones' conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting.
A source told CNN that several years ago, Rodgers said, “Sandy Hook never happened … All those children never existed. They were all actors."
This week, however, Rodgers is spinning a different story, saying he has "thoughts and prayers" for the children and families.
“As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place," Rodgers said.
"He may have found a soul mate and running mate in Aaron Rodgers," quipped Behar of Kennedy.

She asked the panel which presidential candidate stands to lose the most in the 2024 election with a candidate like Kennedy. According to former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, before Trump came along anti-vaccine people were primarily "California granola liberals."
That has changed, she explained. "In the MAGA era it's a lot more on the right."
Sunny Hostin called the two men, "a nightmare ticket."
"Anti-vaxxers will certainly vote third party, but a third party always spoils," she said. "Third-party always spoils, and I want to mention this. There are citizens to save our republic, and it's led by former House minority leader Richard Gephardt. He's called on all third-party candidates to sign a pledge to leave the race in six swing states by July 1st if they have not qualified in enough states.
"They're putting a lot of investment behind it. Donald Trump tried to overthrow the federal government. That's the only thing we need to talk about. We have to prevent someone coming from the electoral process and ruining the democracy. You should listen to it, and they are gearing up with the ads."
Behar added, "I think Joe Biden should just get up at the podium and say, 'Vote for me, I'm the only one who's not nuts.'
"Just say that."
