Ahead of the November 2022 midterm elections in the United States, a special guest was invited to The View, and it turned out to be quite a heated conversation. Rick Klein, the political director of ABC News, joined the women on the show to discuss the upcoming elections and the political landscape.

During the discussion, co-host Ana Navarro asked Klein about the impact of the conservative Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade on the Democrats’ lead in the midterm elections. But before Klein could answer, Joy Behar, the 80-year-old co-host, jumped in with her own point, expressing concern about people’s worries regarding issues like rising gas prices and questioning whether Republicans would be able to address them.

Klein tried to address Behar’s question by explaining that political reporters don’t engage in arguments with voters. However, Behar was unsatisfied with his response and insisted that it was a follow-up question. This led to a tense exchange between the two.

Klein, seemingly frustrated by Behar’s interruption, made a comment suggesting that she was unqualified for her role on The View and should consider becoming a political field reporter instead. Behar didn’t take his comment lightly and defended herself, clarifying that she was not trying to start an argument, but merely seeking clarification.

As the debate escalated, Alyssa Farah Griffin, a conservative co-host, chimed in, suggesting that Behar should have a cameo on the show. Klein, surprisingly, extended a permanent invitation to her.

The incident sparked a lot of reactions from viewers on YouTube, with some criticizing Behar for not allowing the guest to speak, while others felt that the hosts were out of touch with the voters’ sentiments.

What are your thoughts? Do you believe that Joy Behar deserved the backlash she received while speaking to the political director of ABC News?
