Joy Behar accuses Donald Trump of causing the Burning Man disaster.
Joy Behar Blames Republicans and Trump for Burning Man Flooding
During the latest episode of “The View,” Joy Behar made a bold claim, blaming former President Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party for the disastrous flooding that left tens of thousands stranded at the Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
This episode marked the show’s return after a summer break, and Behar wasted no time in stirring up controversy.

Behar and her co-hosts attributed the heavy rains — which resulted in flash flooding, a shelter-in-place order, and ankle-deep mud that left vehicles and many pedestrians unable to leave the temporary “Black Rock City” — to climate change.
“This is one of the many tragedies this summer due to climate change,” Behar began, with her co-hosts nodding in agreement. ”This is the number one existential problem.”
“It rained three months’ worth over 24 hours,” interjected co-host Sunny Hostin.
“I hear Republicans say, ‘Oh, it’s not manmade, it’s not about fossil fuels,'” Behar continued. “You know, when Trump was president, all of that went up, the fossil fuel usage went up. Menace to the planet. Please don’t vote for him, I’m begging you. Get him out of here, he’s so dangerous.”
Co-host Ana Navarro chimed in, linking two other recent events — the devastating wildfires in Maui and Hurricane Idalia — directly to climate change.
“There were fires in Greece, there were fires in Italy, Phoenix had 116-degree temperature, Palm Springs must have been over 100,” Behar added passionately. “They have to stop denying and stop with the fossil fuels and whatever else is causing this, I’m begging you, don’t vote for him.”
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) wasted no time in responding to those who were using Hurricane Idalia to promote climate hysteria, stating, “So, I think the notion that somehow hurricanes are something new, that’s just false. And we’ve got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters. We know from history there’s been times when it’s very busy in Florida, late ’40s, early ’50s, you had a lot of hits of significant hurricanes.”
“The notion that somehow if we just adopt, you know, very left-wing policies at the federal level that somehow we will not have hurricanes, that is a lie,” he added.
