‘The View’: Joy Behar Snaps at Ana Navarro During Tense Discussion

The ladies at The View have been in an extra spicy fighting mood in recent months, likely increased by the impending U.S. election in November. But according to TV Insider, longtime host Joy Behar and co-host Ana Navarro got a bit heated to close out the week and it played out on air.

According to the outlet, the whole episode played out like a roller coaster, with commercial breaks providing the only real reprieve. The moment for Behar and Navarro happens during a discussion of Barack Obama’s speech from earlier in the week.

Behar says that Obama has come out to the stage, basically retired, which leads to Navarro butting in on the point. “No heโ€™s not,” she told Behar. “He’s producing movies, winning awards.”

“I mean from politics. You know what I mean,” Beher snaps back. “Stop pretending you don’t know what I mean.” The pair took a pause for a break and some other opinions on the show, but soon got back into it a bit.

“I always say right now is a binary choice, and you have somebody with a good heart, and you have somebody with no heart,” Navarro said, giving what she thought was a final word on the discussion for the group. Then Behar struck back.

“Okay, well, Iโ€™m going to be a bโ€”ch right now. Weโ€™ll be right back,” Behar said. It’s not her “bโ€”chiest” moment, Behar always has a memorable track record on the show. She’s also had plenty of fun, too, by talking about her sexual willingness with aliens, how she met her husband at a nudist colony, and trying to break up Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
