White House says Joy Behar ‘should self-reflect on her own jealousy’ of Trump before The View is ‘next to be pulled off-air’

During Wednesday’s show, Behar said, "First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6? 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."

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Fox News, "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."

A spokesperson for The View did not address Rogers’ statement about the show’s potential end on the airwaves when reached for comment by Entertainment Weekly, but said in regards to the show’s ratings that The View "is up in total viewers and women 18-49, versus the comparable weeks last season, to its most-watched in four years." The spokesperson added, "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."

This comes after it was announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would come to an end after its current season. While many, including Colbert, were quick to blame Trump for the show’s cancellation, it was reported that the decision to pull the show was "purely a financial decision." The program had been losing $40 million to $50 million per year.
