A White House spokesperson took aim at “The View” co-host Joy Behar on Wednesday, warning that her show might be next on the chopping block after her latest on-air rant targeting President Donald Trump.
During the episode, Behar and her fellow panelists reacted to President Trump’s call for criminal charges against former President Barack Obama, accusing him of fabricating intelligence that launched the Trump-Russia investigation.
“Who tried to overthrow the government on January 6?” Behar asked. “That wasn’t Obama. The thing about Trump is he’s just so jealous of Obama—he’s everything Trump isn’t: trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and he can sing ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green. It’s driving Trump crazy. Green is not a good color on him.”
In response, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers blasted Behar and took a swipe at the show’s ratings.
“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Rogers told Fox News Digital. “It’s no surprise ‘The View’ hit an all-time ratings low last year. Maybe she should spend less time attacking President Trump and more time saving her dying show—before it’s the next one pulled off-air.”
‘THE VIEW’ HOSTS SOUND ALARM OVER COLBERT CANCELLATION: ‘DISMANTLING OF OUR CONSTITUTION’
A spokesperson for “The View” fired back, defending the program’s performance.
“‘The View’ is up in total viewers and women 18–49 compared to the same period last season. It’s now the most-watched it’s been in four years,” the statement read. “Season to date, ‘The View’ ranks No. 1 in households and total viewers among all daytime network talk shows and news programs for the fifth consecutive season.”
The White House statement follows CBS’s recent announcement that it will cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next May, ending its run at the close of the current broadcast season. While CBS and parent company Paramount attributed the decision to financial losses—reportedly around $40 million annually—critics claim the cancellation was politically motivated due to Colbert’s frequent attacks on President Trump.
According to a new report, Colbert’s manager was informed of the cancellation over two weeks before the host himself, with sources confirming the decision was primarily budget-driven.
Still, some in the media see a broader pattern: as conservative voices gain momentum, liberal-leaning shows—and the personalities behind them—are facing increasing pressure.
