'The View' host Joy Behar takes a dig at Republican Congress, claims it has 'lower approval rating than Coronavirus'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Several fights broke out on Capitol Hill on November 14 with tempers flaring across both chambers ahead of a possible government shutdown, reported ABC News.
The following day, ‘The View’ hosts debriefed on the same as they reacted to “tensions running at Capitol Hill” where Joy Behar hilariously compared the Republican Congress to the Coronavirus.
In addition, other co-hosts also chimed in their views on the same, including Sara Haines questioning the accountability, and also comparing the multiple scuffles to a popular ‘Dr. Phil’ meme.
Joy Behar takes a dig at the Republican Congress
Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic of “tensions running high” at Capitol Hill to her co-hosts, “I don't know if the heat was up too high in the Capitol yesterday or something was going off in the cafeteria yesterday but there were a lot of fighting words going around during the House and Senate Committees and Congressman Tim Burchett even accused Kevin McCarthy of physically attacking him. It was a whole thing. Take a look.”
‘The View’ then played a clip of Republican Tim Burchett’s interview with CNN where he accused Kevin McCarthy of elbowing him, and in the next clip, McCarthy denied the claim. As a few more clips from the Capitol ended, ‘The View’ hosts burst into loud laughter as Goldberg gave a shocked expression.
Joy Behar was the first co-host to weigh in on the clips played, “This is why the Congress…the Republican Congress, has a has a lower approval rating than the coronavirus.”
Behar earned a laugh from the audience, and Goldberg, who after recovering from the shock, turned to Behar to show her appreciation, “That was…that was a good one, I like that.”
Sara Haines compares Republicans to popular meme
After a confused Whoopi Goldberg asked her co-hosts what was going on, Sara Haines commented, “Why did they all turn into the ‘catch me outside girl’ they are literally like ready to beat the crap out of every single one of them.”
Haines added, “What I don't understand is why Congress is never treated like a regular job, so if you want to start calling your co-worker names, you're probably going to HR. If you touch them in the kidney or any other place, you're probably going to get fired. When your company shuts down you're not paid.”
“And if you have a conflict of interest or trade secrets…fired. You’re going to see a theme here…fired, fired, fired and that never happens in Congress. There is no consequences. They get a slap on the wrist then they go try to legislate the country. They have a big role and yet they never get in trouble,” added Haines.
