ABC News’ “The View” star Joy Behar has reportedly apologized for recent comments that mocked Vice President Pence’s Christian faith.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said during the Q&A portion of a shareholder meeting on Thursday that Behar apologized directly to Pence on the phone.
A source close to Pence confirmed to Fox News that Behar did apologize.
The shareholder who asked the question was Justin Danhof, who is the general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy Research. Danhof told Iger that some of Disney’s recent decisions are “strange when trust in media is at an all-time low” and referred to Disney’s ESPN as a “24/7 anti-Trump tirade channel” before bringing up the Behar controversy.
“What do you say to the tens of millions of Christians, and President Trump supporters, that your networks have so blatantly offended and ascribed hateful labels?” Danhof asked. “Specifically, do you think, like Mrs. Hostin and Mrs. Behar, that the Christian faith is akin to a dangerous mental illness?”
Iger responded by saying, “I don’t know where I start. First of all, Joy Behar apologized to Vice President Pence directly. She made a call to him and apologized, which I thought was absolutely appropriate.”

Her grudging private apology should be as public as her public insult and not just to Pence but to all of those viewers who were maligned as “mentally ill”.
Since the corporation is ultimately governed by its directors, Iger is nothing more than a face.
Disney Corp is corrupt. It’s been pissing in your conservative shoes daily. The Disney brand sucks ass.
No one seems to give a hoot about the negative impact Disney and Comcast have on the Country.
The “Behar touch”: tragic things happen to people in touch with her.
You got that right on the money. Insulting Christians is all the vogue for the East and Left Coast elite but insult a Mussie and you are going to have the sky fall on you.
Let’s demand that the leftist “The View” be renamed after her. I nominate “The Morning Skank’s Show” as its new name.
Wish VP Pence would not have accepted her phone call.
Apology given to save her job.
I want a public apology, she offended Christians everywhere.

Typical cowardly celebrity; she insults millions of Christians on air and thinks a private phone call to one person is an acceptable apology (IF it even happened). Hey, Blowhard Joy, if you won’t apologize on air, where are the private phone calls to the 30,000 people who called in complaints about you?
Somebody should hang a sign around her neck like they do with dogs who have been naughty:
“I insulted millions of people and only apologized to one.”
Liberal pieces of $hit don’t apologize for trashing Christianity. They all uniformly hate Christianity.
I don't have a TV and I had no idea what banal and mind numbing pap was being televised during the daytime. It was absolutely unbelievable. I felt my intelligence seeping away the longer I was exposed to it.
Joy Behar is a "performer" who makes production of this garbage possible. She makes millions and truly exists at the absolute bottom rung of productive pursuits. Garbagemen and rodeo clowns contribute far more to society than this brain dead, dried up old propagandist.
Seems to me he disagrees with conservatives completely.
He can "start" by acknowledging the BIAS his industry promotes across the board.
He sounds absolutely like a died-in-the-wool Libtard.
He doesn't know where to start because he sees not a single thing wrong.
I don’t believe it.
Disney IS the evil empire./
Her mouth is constantly in motion before her mind is in gear.
Got a better idea - why don’t they fire her, like they would for anti-Moslem remarks?
Witch didn’t apologize to me publically yet and the damage is done anyway. Bad faith.
