White House Criticizes Joy Behar for Anti-Trump Jokes on The View
The White House has criticized Joy Behar for her jokes about President Donald Trump, calling her "Joyless" Behar and accusing her of suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. The White House spokesperson emphasized Trump's efforts to strengthen the American military and reduce Iranian retaliatory attacks by destroying Iran's ballistic missile capabilities.
During a segment on The View, Behar questioned the effectiveness of Trump's military actions in Iran, prompting a discussion with guest cohost Abby Huntsman. Despite the White House's claims about the show's ratings, ABC reported that The View remains the top-rated daytime network talk show, particularly among female viewers.
This is not the first time the White House has targeted Behar and The View. In a previous incident, the White House referred to Behar and former cohost Rosie O'Donnell as "irrelevant losers" in response to allegations of liberal bias on the show. The White House spokesperson suggested that the country would be better off with Behar and O'Donnell living abroad.
The View continues to air on ABC, maintaining its position as a leading daytime talk show. Viewers can check their local listings for showtimes.
