Joy Behar is old and needs to retire. The leftist host on The View doesn’t only use her age as a free pass but also to condescend co-hosts and other personalities.
Behar had been the mainstay of “The View” for 16 years. She often sparks controversy and uses her hatred for the GOP to gain attention. She has always been outspoken, mostly charged and baseless, which leads to criticism and backlash.
One stark incident was during the issue of US gun laws. Behar remarked that changes would possibly happen “once Black people get guns.” This statement irked the public, including several right-wing personalities. Her mindless comments reflect her ignorance of gun ownership statistics and her racist tendencies.
She has also once painted her face black during a Halloween party, as what she calls “a beautiful African woman.” For the longest time, wearing blackface has been used to mock and discriminate the Blacks. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces false and negative views of African Americans as inferior, unintelligent, and comically exaggerated.
Yet this was not enough for The View’s senior host; she was even called out by Sen. Tim Scott when Behar compared Scott to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, asserting that the two Black men ‘don’t get’ racism.
“He’s one of these guys, like Clarence Thomas, Black Republican, who believes in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, rather than understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country and other minorities. He doesn’t get it. Neither does Clarence. That’s why they’re Republicans,” she declared.
Sen. Scott responded to this and said, “That’s why I am the candidate the radical Left fears the most.”
She was also slammed by Cong. Byron Donalds, and suggested she should “sit this one out.”
“Attention black Americans: don’t even “think” about having a mind of your own or else this wealthy white lady will come for you, shared Scott Jennings, a senior CNN commentator.
Her polarizing attitude has pushed even her former co-host, Meghan Mccain. She cited the old woman’s cutting remarks as one of the factors she left the show.
Observers also pointed out that with her continued presence, The View only reflects a double standard in cancel culture, where she remains immune to consequences from her sharp remarks.
One of the latest victims of her bullying is her conservative co-host Alyssa Griffin, who was once a staffer for Donald Trump.
During a panel discussion, Behar grilled Alyssa Farah Griffin as they discussed Trump’s “enablers” in the Republican Party. The 81-year-old host, who pretends she knows anything about the GOP, claimed these people were “scared to lose their job, and in some cases there’s political violence threatened in their families.”
The senior host furthered, “We’re dealing with thuggery here.” She even declared that “The [Republicans] would fall in line behind a guy that they think should be in a mental situation.”
In June, Griffin also took jabs from Behar as they discussed if the GOP backs LGBTQ+ rights.
The Republican host expressed that the Republicans support LGBT rights, to which Behar then retorted, “Yeah, but your party tends to steal elections.”
Griffin responded “The facts bear it out. Eight in ten Americans favor more laws to protect the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination — 67% of those are Republicans.
The longest host of The View has long been causing tensions and departures in the show. Her radical rhetoric is divisive and should be shut down.
She’s a senile old democrat with no brain.
Joy is devoid of any love or kindness
She should just shut up and go away
