Joy Behar: Trump Will Use ICE Protests to Declare Martial Law, Cancel Midterms

Joy Behar: Trump Will Use ICE Protests to Declare Martial Law, Cancel Midterms

“Because he’s worried — he even said, ‘If the Democrats take Congress next time, I will be impeached,’ which means that he could be convicted and sent to jail.”

Yesterday on The View, Joy Behar suggested that she is worried that Trump is planning to use the ICE protests in Minneapolis and elsewhere to declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterm elections.

Stop and consider this for a moment. She is saying that Trump will override local jurisdictions, put the military in charge, and then cancel elections. It is pure BlueAnon lunacy.

Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that The View falls under the ABC ‘News’ division.

FOX News has details:

Joy Behar claims Trump seeking to declare martial law to stop midterm elections amid ICE protests

“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Tuesday that President Donald Trump was hoping for protests to cause chaos so that he could declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterm elections.

“I worry that Trump is looking for this kind of pandemonium to go on, like you just described, so he can declare martial law and also cancel the midterms,” Behar said as the co-hosts discussed protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across the country.

The co-hosts discussed the ongoing protests against ICE in cities such as Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in the city.

“Watch out for this guy!” Behar said. “Because he’s worried — he even said, ‘If the Democrats take Congress next time, I will be impeached,’ which means that he could be convicted and sent to jail. He does not want that to happen.”

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg told viewers to know their rights while protesting.

This video is cued to start at the 14:54 mark, so just press play:

How is this any different than something Alex Jones would say? The answer is that it isn’t. This kind of mental case talk happens every single day on this show, and then we wonder why there are so many crazy seeming women at these protests? How many of them watch The View every day?

When is ABC ‘News’ made to answer for this madness?

    “to use the ICE protests in Minneapolis and elsewhere to declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterm elections”

    And that she has a copy of the contracts Trump has with Norfolk Southern and BNSF leasing 000s of box cars.

    Hmmm,

      Then given her argument that DJT

      ‘needs the pandemonium to continue’ so he can ‘declare martial law and cancel the midterm elections’

      …then the prudent course of action is to call for an end to to the mob activity aka ‘pandemonium’. According to her no pandemonium means no martial law and no cancelled elections. So which is it to be Joy?

LOL, Trump lives them in their head. We want the Mid-term so we can kick them out.

Phew!

I was worried she would go through 2026 without some sort of completely asinine comment or utterance.

My faith in stupidity has been restored.

“Co-host Whoopi Goldberg told viewers to know their rights while protesting.”

An empty suggestion if there ever was one. You don’t have a right to obstruct law enforcement and you don’t have the right to hit a police officer with your car. The police, however, are fully within their authority to use deadly force if necessary. If you don’t like the law, change the law. But once something is law, expect it to be enforced even if it’s over your objections.

    They’re not even police…they are federal agents and they aren’t stopping you, you are stopping them then acting violent and angry.

      Milhouse in reply to healthguyfsu. | January 14, 2026 at 9:06 pm

      They are police. They have the same authority as any policeman to arrest someone without a warrant for any crime they observe. (I think that is only federal crimes; I don’t think federal police can arrest someone for a state crime.)

Great Maker, that fat cow is still on the air spewing her ludicrous nonsense across the airwaves? Who in the heck watches this stuff.

Trump said the killings in Iran has stopped

So, we call that a win President Trump?

Oh hell no!

Then maybe the “protests” should stop their lawlessness?

Remember when this midwit predicted Trump would declare martial law to stop the 2020 election and it didn’t happen?

Does that mean that The View is ABC’s answer to 60 Minutes and Dateline?

Democrats consider it an impeachable offense when the President washes his hands for supper.

    Think of all those germs he murdered! And the water he used! And those animals and plants cruelly executed, then their remains abused, chopped, cooked and served just to sate his insatiable hunger! Crimes against Gaia! Death penalty!

God, what an absolute moron.

    No, Ketanji Brown Jackson is #1, but this fool with her room temperature IQ is a close second.

Joy Behar reminds me of those girls in high school who accused boys of indecent things or even rape attempts when a) absolutely nothing happened and b) knew she’d be believed by “the authorities”.

Well, when those protests become riots and the officers involved have their lives at stake constantly, I would say the Insurrection Act is pretty due. He’d be well within his rights

Joy Behar, reminding tens of thousands of American men of their first wife.

SHREW.

same ol sh from these clowns

but worse:

Donations for suspended Ford worker who heckled Trump near $800,000

they are rewarding bad behavior and that is going to up the danger to maga ..not just the agenda but to people on the street as the warriors of the left are now mercenaries and not just “paid actors”

civilwar is around the corner from these marxists which is why she can spew her stuff

she is causing her side to have the reaction to their violence which they are rewarding and the msm is painting a picture that is permeating society that has maga as the bad guys

The View…haven’t they had their fill of saying “Nick Nick Nick Fa Fa Fa, Indians…whew!” yet?

Come on, Joy, there’s absolutely zero chance of that happening.
But he WILL deport your hairdresser. (And you’ll actually thank him.)
And your gardener, so you’ll have to find someone else to molest your kids when you aren’t home.

Joy says stupid crap like that because it’s exactly what the left would do.

Maybe we should ask her if men can get pregnant ? Since she believes in insane wild scenarios that have zero connection to reality , I’m guessing her answer is an empathetic yes.

I am old enough to remember when the Communists used 20,000 US military troops to forcibly install Biden* in office. Back then Joy Behar thought military dictatorship was 100% proper and cool.

OMG, I have been hearing exactly the same narrative before every election since at least 2002, always from supporter of whichever party is not in the White House. It’s always the same impossible nonsense.

For the millionth time, the US constitution does not allow martial law in the USA, ever.

The Supreme Court has carved out one narrow exception to that: if an emergency makes it impossible for the civilian courts to function in an entire county, then the military may step in and administer the law until the courts are able to function again. The moment a court opens its doors in the county, martial law automatically becomes illegal, and anything the military government does after that point is invalid.

The reason SCOTUS gave for this exception was simply that someone has to administer the law, so if the courts whose job it is can’t do it then the military has no option but to step in. Thus it can only step in for as long as there is no alternative; as soon as it’s possible for it to stop, it must do so.

Thus the “martial law” that FDR purported to impose in Hawaii for the duration of WW2 was invalid, and every single act those military tribunals had taken was overturned.

    “For the millionth time, the US constitution does not allow martial law in the USA, ever.”

    Lincoln declares martial law.

    The US constitution doesn’t allow infringements on the possession and carry of firearms, either. That and $5 will get you a Frappuccino.

      Milhouse in reply to henrybowman. | January 15, 2026 at 8:38 pm

      Lincoln declared martial law in counties where the courts were operating, and the Supreme Court struck it down. All actions taken under that unlawful rule were invalid and had to be reversed.

    Semper Why in reply to Milhouse. | January 15, 2026 at 3:30 pm

    Yep. I remember when it was Obama was going to incite violence with black helicopters transporting feds to run false flag ops. The violence was going to justify the postponing of the election. Same as it ever was.

Oh, and if elections are canceled, that does not extend the terms of the people whose offices were to have been filled. On Jan-3-2027 the entire current House and 1/3 of the current senators will be out of office, unless they are reelected this year. Canceling the election would simply leave those seats vacant. Likewise if a presidential election is canceled then on Jan-20 the presidency and vice-presidency become vacant; the incumbents do not and cannot stay on.

So there’s no point in canceling elections, even if whoever’s in office could do so.

he’s worried — he even said, ‘If the Democrats take Congress next time, I will be impeached,’ which means that he could be convicted and sent to jail.

Huh? Isn’t she missing a step there? An impeachment and conviction would remove him from office. It could not possibly send him to jail. That would require a criminal trial, prosecuted by a Vance-led DOJ, which obviously would refuse to do so.

“How is this any different than something Alex Jones would say? ”

Alex Jones is occasionally right? Also better looking.

X-rays confirm – The Spew crones have no brains in their heads.

Joybee is insufferable, but for once I think she is right. Trump should declare martial law and cancel the midterms. It’s all gone bad here at home and crazy demands crazy to end crazy stuff.
