Joy Behar told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes if former President Donald Trump is not indicted, we will not have a country. Behar said, “Indictments against Trump could reportedly happen at any time now. For those keeping score, here’s speed round of investigations he’s facing. In Georgia, he is being investigated for election interference for pressuring state officials to find more votes. Remember, ‘I just find want to find 11,780 votes,’ remember that. In Florida, the DOJ just subpoenaed dozens of Mar-a-Lago employees over his hoarding of classified documents. Here in New York State, the...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes former Vice President Mike Pence is using “homophobia” to appeal to the “deplorable” MAGA base. Several media outlets have reported that Saturday at the annual white-tie Gridiron Dinner referencing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Pence said, “When Pete’s two children were born, he took two months’ maternity leave whereupon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, and airplanes nearly collided on our runways…Pete is the only person in human history to have a child, and everyone else gets postpartum depression.”

After weeks of inaction from the Biden Administration following the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a visit by former President Trump sparked gratitude from the town's residents.

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that residents of East Palestine, OH, who are suffering in the aftermath of a train derailment that caused hazardous materials to leak into the environment, voted for former President Donald Trump “who reduces all safety” with deregulation. Behar said, “Can we talk about regulations for a second? Because It seems to me the Republicans are obsessed with the notion of the free market, and they don’t like a lot of regulations.” Co-host Sara Haines said, “Because it means profit. If they deregulate, they get more profit.”

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she does not believe Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was unaware of antisemitic tropes about Jewish people and money. Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Omar said, “I certainly did not or was not aware that the word hypnotized was a trope. I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans are “giving cover to political violence” while discussing the hammer attack on Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi. Referencing Fox News clips showing hosts discussing the incident, Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Why are you making stuff up? We can’t make stuff up. We have to apologize when we make stuff up, when we’re joking or we say something in humor. If we say something in humor, they say, listen, you can’t do that. Why are you allowed to laugh about the fact that somebody broke into this...

The Democrats’ quest to demonize former President Donald Trump for having classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida was dealt a serious setback when it was disclosed this week that President Biden had stashes of classified documents–some of them marked “Top Secret”–in separate locations. One of the locations was the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, DC. This “think tank” was funded by a grant of $54 million from donors linked to the Chinese Communist Party. A second location was in a garage where he keeps his Corvette at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden...

"The View" co-host Joy Behar said Thursday that she didn't know a luckier person than former President Donald Trump and said President Biden's classified documents appeared just as "we were this close" to getting Trump. "I've never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump," Behar declared. "Just as we're this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear," appearing to suggest they were planted.

Joy Behar told her co-host Tuesday on ABC’s ‘The View” that President Joe Biden should get the “benefit of the doubt” regarding the classified documents found in his office while former President Donald Trump should not on classified documents removed from his Florida estate.

They were locked in his old office.”

The View co-host Joy Behar trashed conservatives and heterosexual men for pushing tackle football in schools in the wake of the shocking Damar Hamlin collapse on Monday Night Football Behar said that she had discovered a poll where 45 percent of Americans - most positively heterosexual men and conservatives - said they felt tackle football was appropriate for children, adding 'just saying.'

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that she thinks it is “nice” Republicans are embroiled in a drama over the House Speaker race. Behar said, “I had a little what they call schadenfreude watching this. I sort of enjoyed that they’re in such disarray because they deserve it. It was nice they took a break from destroying the country and started to turn on each other. I was reading one time about turtles one time, and apparently, if you have turtles in an aquarium and then you don’t feed them long enough, they will start to...

After an election campaign in which Republicans were vilified by President Biden and other Democrats as "enemies of democracy," MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough declared that "Democrats won because Americans don't want leaders who hate. Republicans never understood the righteous wrath that led to the riots over the death of George Floyd. They made opposition to urban crime an issue in their bid for votes. Voters overwhelmingly rejected this message." Joy Behar, co-host of ABC's "The View" seconded Scarborough's interpretation, saying that "all Republicans want to do is hang out with Nazis and white supremacists." She pivoted from this smear...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that all Republicans do was “hang out with Nazis and white supremacists.” Behar said, “So Democrats didn’t get to enjoy their Senate victory for very long because this morning, Kyrsten Sinema announced that for her, the party’s over.” She continued, “It is an interesting thing she is going through in her head. It’s like this party has nothing. They have no platform, nothing. All they do is hang out with Nazis and white supremacists. The other party is actually doing something for people like us, for working families, for gay...

"The View" co-host Joy Behar appeared upset on Thursday that Americans didn't give Democrats a "supermajority" in the midterm elections and said that half of the country was "not paying attention to their own needs." After co-host Sara Haines praised Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan's concession speech after losing to Republican JD Vance in Ohio's Senate race, Behar said she didn't want to be a "Debbie Downer" but insisted Democrats should have enjoyed massive gains in Congress. "On the one had you have a party that tried to save health care, that tries to save your right to vote, that...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans were “flooding the airwaves with nasty, nasty lies about the Democrats,” as Nazi chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels did during World War II. Behar said, “So, you know, the only reason these Republicans are surging the way they are, I talked about this in the meeting this morning, is because of this dark money that’s going into the Republican candidates. They’re buying the Senate races, and then they’re flooding the airwaves with nasty, nasty lies about the Democrats, and that’s it. People are fooled by that. You know, if...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (R-PA) should not go after his opponent, Democratic Senate candidate Lt. Gov John Fetterman (D-PA), because of the Hippocratic Oath. Behar said, “The Republican Party is running a bunch of ads about showing Fetterman stumbling on things because of the stroke. What kind of a doctor is behind that, aren’t they supposed to do no harm? It’s so unempathetic to the guy, you know? And I just want to say that Oz is very slick. He’s a TV guy. Remember that. There’s another...

"The View" co-host Joy Behar slammed Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., on Wednesday for previous comments about climate change while discussing Hurricane Ian and his leadership.

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) might be lacking in “emotional intelligence” for his stance on climate change. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “This is a moment I think for DeSantis to show he’s a leader of all Floridians. that it’s not about politics. I would encourage him don’t even call your political team for the next week. Focus on helping the people of Florida, the Democrats, the counties who will never vote for you. He’s smarter than Trump. I think we all recognize this. I actually expect to see competent...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that they should be “standing in solidarity in this country for men trying to control us with their abortion laws” while discussing the demonstrations in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini.

During a discussion on the protest and CNN’s Christiane Amanpour refusing to wear a headscarf for her scheduled interview with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, co-host Ana Navarro said, “Christiane Amanpour is an inspiration to me, to women around the world. There was a time when...

1:34 Joy Behar told her co-host Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that it was highly likely former President Donald Trump would be in “prison” during the 2024 presidential race, adding that she thought Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Georgia Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams would be a good ticket should Biden not run. During the panel discussion on Joe Biden being noncommittal on a 2024 presidential run, Behar said, “Unless Trump is in prison. It could happen. If Trump is in prison or somewhere maybe in Saudi Arabia, somewhere like Russia, it’s possible.”
