It doesn’t exist.” Behar then took a extra critical tone and stated, “I really feel like ultimately we are going to get him out, but it surely’s going to take some time, and let’s hope there’s not an excessive amount of harm that he does… I imply, the concept that Kamala Harris says to the American folks, ‘I’m going that will help you purchase a home,’ that didn’t resonate as a lot as, ‘They’re consuming the cats and canine in Ohio,’ I imply, it’s bizarre isn’t it?
