The View Co-Hosts Clash Over Joy Behar's Courteous JD Vance Interview 3 Days Later

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 19

Summary

  • Friday’s on-air dispute erupted after Sunny Hostin pressed Joy Behar on why she seemed so warm to JD Vance during his Tuesday appearance, accusing her of acting like she was “in love” with the vice president.
  • Behar rejected that, saying she was following Barbara Walters’ rule to treat guests well, respect the office and remain civil even toward an administration she opposes.
  • JD Vance had already turned the interview into a punchline on Wednesday, joking at a press conference that surviving more than 1 hour on “The View” proved he could handle “hostile negotiations” with Iran.
  • Ana Navarro argued Vance arrived strategically “prepared to disarm” the panel with niceness, while Hostin ultimately acknowledged Walters had indeed taught hosts to be courteous to guests.
  • Behar still suggested Vance was once more redeemable than his current political persona, citing “Hillbilly Elegy,” and said she told him off-air he had a good vibe “for a Republican.”
