"The View" co-host Joy Behar sounded off on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday, arguing he is "very dangerous," and a "threat" to President Biden's re-election chances.Behar said RFK Jr. was "very dangerous," and the show played a clip from his interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday. Kennedy argued President Biden was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-says-biden-much-worse-threat-to-democracy-than-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more of a threat</a> to democracy than former President Trump. "First of all, he’s a threat, I think more to Biden, just because of his name. That people out there, they’re not really looking into things. I think they think, 'oh Kennedy, Democrat, yeah I'll vote for him.' Meanwhile, he is a conspiracy theorist, anti-science. His whole family is voting for Biden and this type of dangerous rhetoric that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than the man who wanted to throw over the government, overthrow the government," Behar continued. Co-host Sara Haines said Kennedy was "wrong in what he was saying," and said Kennedy should be mad at Instagram, not Biden. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/libertarian-party-chair-rfk-jr-nomination-mutually-beneficial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LIBERTARIAN PARTY CHAIR SAYS RFK JR.

The polls are too close," she feared.Fox News' Kristine Parks contributed to this report.
