On Thursday’s episode of The View, Joy Behar made a surprising statement by expressing agreement with former President Donald Trump regarding James Comey’s actions during the 2016 election. Behar stated, “I don’t like Comey. I agree with Trump on this one. I don’t like what he did to Hillary.” She emphasized her rare alignment with Trump, noting, “I rarely have something that I agree with Trump on, so this is one thing.”
Behar criticized Comey for allegedly undermining Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign through the 2016 email scandal, which involved the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reopening an investigation into Clinton’s private server just days before the election. This decision violated Justice Department guidelines, which advise against actions that could influence an election within 60 days of Election Day.
The discussion centered on Comey’s September 2020 testimony before Congress, where he faced allegations of lying about his interactions with Trump. Sources suggest a video clip from the show, though its exact context remains unclear. Behar reiterated her stance, stating, “I don’t like what he did to Hillary,” while acknowledging the controversy surrounding Comey’s role in the 2016 election.
