Joy Behar goes off on US being 'named after a White man' during Gulf of America debate

"The View" co-host Joy Behar went on a rant about where America got its name on Thursday as the co-hosts discussed President Donald Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

"This country that we're in was settled by indigenous people, right? And yet they named the country after an Italian White man, Amerigo Vespucci. That's what America is named after, Amerigo Vespucci, a White European," she said.

"Why was it named after a White man if it was settled by indigenous people?" Behar continued.

The co-hosts discussed the Trump White House barring the Associated Press from an event at the Oval Office on Tuesday for the outlet's refusal to use the term "Gulf of America" in accordance with President Trump’s executive order renaming the body of water between the United States and Mexico."

Question?? Why are you asking a dumb question like this when you never questioned this during 8 Years of Obama?? Please fuck off and cancel this liberal crybaby show, for the sake of America?? This is the Cast of The VIEW every time Trump comes up with a good idea:

The irony is that every time we try to name anything in this country to honor American Indians, people like Behar go ballistic and label it racist or cultural appropriation.

Another irony is that someone so stupid has a public platform to spew nonsense.😩

As the great economist Thomas Sowell has said, “It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.”

It ‘s doubtful Ms. Behar has ever come to terms with the fact she is a moron.

That's the kind of anti-white racism I expect from Keelai! She needs to up her game.

Probably watches "The Coven" religiously.

Ugh, how do they not see their own blatant racism?

reply

Italian people were not considered “white” in Vespucci’s time. Many still aren't today.

This country's entire name is ridiculous since it has never been "United". There have clearly been two distinctive political ideologies from the beginning tearing the country apart.

BTW, everyone in the world is still calling it Gulf of Mexico. Isolated Trumpites can say "freedom fries" and "golff of 'merika" if they want.

You are the dumbest ass in captivity.
