Joy Behar finds another thing to blame Trump for

Joy Behar couldn’t help but blame Donald Trump for the technical difficulties that  disrupted The View‘s teleprompter on Wednesday.

Her remark came after a heated Hot Topics segment, in which her costars, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin fiercely hashed out public school choice, which allows programs offering alternatives to assigned local public school options.

After moderator Whoopi Goldberg wedged herself between the women and called for a commercial break, she returned on the screen to address the ‘messy’ first segment.

‘We’re all here at the table and we’re having a conversation,’ Goldberg sarcastically reminded Hostin and Farah, the White House director of strategic communications and Assistant to the President in 2020 during Trump’s first term.

She continued: ‘And we’re gonna go back to it—but before we do, I just wanna say, this is the beauty of people who have different opinions. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes we’re messy.’

Goldberg, then, pointed out that when she ‘came out this morning’ to deliver her opening remarks that she ‘trouble trying to figure out’ as ‘there was nothing’ on the teleprompter to read.

‘There’s something in the air,’ she said, before Behar interjected with her own explanation.

Behar claimed: ‘You know what’s in the air, Whoopi? Trumpism!’

‘We lost the election,’ she continued as Haines covered her face.

Behar went on to state that ‘half of this country is miserable’ following Trump’s election win.

‘Let’s just tell the truth. We hate that he won. We hate it,’ she insisted. ‘Everybody’s uptight and crazy right now.’

Her remarks come amid reports ABC News executives are reportedly actively searching for a conservative, pro-Trump voice to join the panel on The View after its stars all backed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that ABC News Group President Debra OConnell and ABC News boss Almin Karamehmedovic were holding sit-down meetings with executive producers and other senior editorial leaders to address its coverage.

It is primarily focusing on The View, unidentified sources said.

‘The View is facing pressure from higher-ups,’ the source said. ‘Viewers can expect some major changes, including brining in new panelists that can bring in a pro-Trump perspective.’

The source went on to note that all six of the current panelists endorsed Harris in the presidential election.

‘They lost. They are out of touch with America,’ the insider said, noting: ‘For a show about different perspectives, The View doesn’t seem to have any when it comes to Trump’ and ABC News executives ‘don’t want to alienate the pro-Trump demographic’ as they try to maintain the show’s ratings and advertising revenue.

‘At the end of the day, these changes aren’t about politics. They are about economics,’ the source explained. ‘Trump got more than half of the vote.

‘TV networks need to find pro-Trump voices and diversify viewpoints to reflect the various perspectives of Americans.’

Another unidentified source also noted that the change comes after ABC News execs were caught by surprise by Trump’s victory.

‘We are trying to sort out how we cover the next four years, when everyone inside ABC News is on one side,’ the source said.

Behar went on to state that ‘half of this country is miserable’ following Trump’s election win.

It remains unclear whether the show would kick off one of its woke panelists or just add a seventh.

But including a conservative onto the notoriously woke show may cause some issues with its top talent, the first source said.

‘The question is what will happen to the Whoopis and the Joys if they bring on a Trumpster,’ the insider said.

Many of the panelists have already spoken out against the president-elect since his victory, with Goldberg – the show’s longest-running permanent co-host – announcing that she will continue to refuse to use Trump’s name.

Goldberg has refused to use Trump’s name since he first took office in 2016, saying she ‘can’t’ bring herself to put the word ‘president’ before his name.

Hostin also said she was ‘profoundly disturbed’ by the election outcome, as she blamed ‘uneducated white women’ and ‘Latino men’ for Trump’s victory, claiming they voted in favor of policies that will negatively impact them.

‘I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,’ she told the show.

Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that ABC News Group President Debra OConnell and ABC News boss Almin Karamehmedovic were holding sit-down meetings with executive producers and other senior editorial leaders to address its coverage; former panelist Meghan McCain seen above in 2020 recently hit out at the show for not having ‘a single conservative woman’ on the panel

‘It is actual malfeasance on the part of ABC News that there isn’t one single conservative woman on The View this morning who voted for Trump or simply isn’t repulsed by his supporters to explain to America why he is so popular,’ she said following Trump’s win

‘Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump – uneducated white women is my understanding. You have Latino men actually, voting more for him.’

Amid the Trump-bashing, former panelist Meghan McCain took to X to lash out at her one-time castmates.

‘Respectfully, please stop sending me clips from The View,’ she wrote, describing the show as a ‘radical progressive insane asylum and that’s why I left years ago.’

McCain also hit out at the show for not having ‘a single conservative woman’ on the panel during the election season.

‘It is actual malfeasance on the part of ABC News that there isn’t one single conservative woman on The View this morning who voted for Trump or simply isn’t repulsed by his supporters to explain to America why he is so popular,’ she said following Trump’s win.
