On Thursday’s episode of The View, Joy Behar made a surprising statement, declaring her agreement with former President Donald Trump regarding James Comey. “I don’t like Comey. I agree with Trump on this one. I don’t like what he did to Hillary,” Behar said, adding that she rarely finds herself in alignment with Trump. The comment sparked immediate reactions, as Comey had previously investigated Hillary Clinton’s email server during the 2016 presidential election.
Behar’s remarks centered on Comey’s decision to reopen the investigation into Clinton’s emails just 11 days before the election, a move critics argued violated Department of Justice guidelines. She expressed frustration with Comey’s actions, stating, “I don’t like what he did to Hillary.” The discussion also touched on potential legal consequences for Comey, including allegations of lying to Congress during testimony in 2020.
The segment highlighted Behar’s rare endorsement of Trump’s perspective, despite her long-standing political differences with the former president. She acknowledged the controversy surrounding Comey’s timing but stopped short of defending his actions, instead emphasizing her personal distaste for the former FBI director. The conversation underscored ongoing debates about accountability and ethical boundaries in political investigations.
