Joy Behar's hilarious Lara Trump quip sparks laughter and reflection on 'The View'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joy Behar once again brought her signature wit to 'The View,' causing laughter and a moment of reflection on the show.
In a recent episode, Behar sparked amusement with a quip about Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee Co-Chair, following a clip of Trump discussing election claims.
During the segment, Lara Trump emphasized moving past the controversies of the 2020 election while affirming the importance of upholding the integrity of every legal vote.
Trump's statement and Behar's response
Speaking to NBC News, Trump, who is the wife of Eric Trump and daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, emphasized, "The past is the past, and regrettably, we had to learn a few tough lessons in 2020. Rest assured, we are incorporating those lessons nationwide and in every state to ensure that every legal vote is counted."
Behar seized the opportunity, humorously remarking, "She speaks out of both sides of her lips!"
The audience erupted in laughter, and Behar herself couldn't help but smile, though she playfully questioned the appropriateness of her comment, “Was that wrong of me?”
As co-host Whoopi Goldberg attempted to steer the conversation forward, she struggled to contain her amusement, reflecting the infectious nature of Behar's humor.
Navigating political discourse in professional settings
Goldberg eventually regained composure to discuss reports of job candidates for the RNC being asked about their beliefs regarding the 2020 election.
"RNC job applicants are reportedly claiming they were asked in their interviews if they believe that the election was stolen," she revealed.
The panel engaged in a debate on the ethical implications of such inquiries, with concerns raised about potential bias in hiring practices.
Alyssa Farah Griffin criticized the RNC for seeking "loyalists," while Sunny Hostin questioned the appropriateness of probing political beliefs in job interviews.
The exchange underscored the complexity of navigating political discourse in professional settings. "It seems to me like there are certain questions that you can't ask when you're interviewing ... I wonder if you can ask that," remarked Hostin, highlighting the need for sensitivity and fairness in employment practices.
