Joy Behar tore into Mitt Romney's running mate Paul Ryan Wednesday on HuffPost Live, calling the Wisconsin Republican "the devil in disguise."
"Take a look at the Ryan budget," she said, citing his proposals to ban abortion (even in the case of rape, incest and the health of the mother) and slash pre-natal care and infant nutrition spending. "He's worse than Akin. He is the devil. Ryan is the devil in disguise. He looks cute, he's got those big Village of the Damned eyes. He's got nice hair. He talks nicely, but do not trust this guy."
Behar joined HuffPost Live hosts Alicia Menendez and Nancy Redd as well as community members to discuss the Republican National Convention, the political climate and her new Current TV show, "Say Anything."
"I feel like we're in a position now in this country where we could jump the shark and it could be really bad if Romney gets in," she said.
