Could The View be the next Colbert?
The White House responded this week to View co-host Joy Behar’s anti-Trump rant. The 82-year-old Behar criticized Trump and accused him of being jealous of former President Barack Obama.
“First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6?” Behar said. “Who was that again? That was not Obama. The thing about him is he’s so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green’s song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It’s driving him crazy. Green is not a good color.”
In a statement to Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called out the show’s ratings and suggested it could be “pulled off-air” if Behar didn’t stop attacking Trump.
“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s no surprise that ‘The View’s ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air,” Rogers said.
In a response provided to Entertainment Weekly, a spokesperson for “The View” defended the show by claiming it “is up in total viewers and women 18-49, versus the comparable weeks last season, to its most-watched in four years” and that “season to date, ‘The View’ is ranking No. 1 in households and total viewers among all network daytime talk shows and news programs for the fifth straight season.”
The statement comes nearly a week after CBS announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would be canceled next May at the end of its broadcast season. While CBS and parent company Paramount said the decision was “purely financial”—with the show reportedly losing the network $40 million annually—many liberal commentators claimed the cancellation was politically motivated, citing Colbert’s outspoken criticism of former President Trump.
