Joy Behar breaks down on 'The View', chides undecided voter for calling 2024 race 'high school gossip'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joy Behar, co-host of 'The View', expressed her frustration over the ongoing election discussions just 12 days before the big day.
On Thursday, October 24 episode, Behar reacted to a clip of an undecided voter from Kamala Harris' town hall on CNN, who compared the election to “high school gossip” and criticized the candidates for their constant back-and-forth attacks.

Joy Behar, who has been vocal throughout the election, reached her breaking point during the segment, openly voicing her exhaustion and irritation about the current state of the race.
The focus group participant at the CNN town hall suggested that candidates should “stop trashing each other” and admitted to believing Donald Trump is a “fascist,” citing John Kelly’s similar claim.

Behar, however, didn’t agree with the voter’s sentiment that both sides were equally at fault.
“Trump is the one who started calling people names. Kamala did not. The Democrats didn’t start with that,” Behar responded.
She reminded viewers of Trump’s past nicknames like "Lil Marco" and "Crooked Hillary." According to Behar, Trump set the tone for name-calling in politics.

Joy Behar did not hold back her emotions when addressing the undecided voter, sharply criticizing her indecision.
“This woman doesn’t know what she’s talking about, if you ask my opinion,” Behar said.
Mocking the voter, Behar added, “‘I’m still on the fence,’” before declaring, “Get off the fence, all right? It’s a presidential candidate with credentials versus some kind of a nutcase. That’s what you are up against.”
As her frustration continued, Behar exclaimed, “Stop with the fence already, I’m sick of it! I can’t take it anymore! You see, I’m having a breakdown. I can’t wait for election day so I can sleep at night!”
Joy Behar backs Kamala Harris over her remarks on Donald Trump
During Kamala Harris’ town hall, the Vice President labeled Donald Trump “unstable” and “unfit to serve.”
Behar backed Harris and felt that Trump’s insults toward her were unfair, particularly his remarks about Harris being “stupid," The Daily Beast reported.
“She’s not supposed to respond to that?” Behar questioned, defending Harris’ right to hit back at Trump.
Meanwhile, 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin expressed concern about what might happen if Harris wins the election, predicting a “blue tsunami.”
Behar shared her hope for Hostin’s prediction, saying, “We need a blue tsunami because if it’s close, we’re going to have all this stuff going on.”
She added that despite not being religious, she would pray for such a result.
Whoopi Goldberg added her perspective on Trump’s behavior since losing the previous election, passionately stating, “For the last four years, all we’ve heard is, ‘I won. They were mean to me. I won, I won.’” She raised her voice, finally declaring, “You lost! You lost!”
