Ah yes, The View—where political nuance goes to die and where disagreeing with Joy Behar means you’re morally bankrupt and unworthy of her kidney.
On Thursday’s broadcast, Behar made it clear that while she wouldn’t completely cut off friends who supported President Donald Trump, she also wouldn’t go out of her way to help them in a time of need. And by “help,” she meant literally saving their life.
“I won’t give them a kidney, but I could be friends with them,” Behar said, in what may be the most on-brand Joy Behar statement ever. She then doubled down, explaining that she wouldn’t donate an organ because a friend’s support for Trump represented a “poor moral choice.”
Joy Behar claims she’s friends with a Trump supporter but adds she wouldn’t give them a kidney to save their life:
“I won’t give them a kidney but I could be friends with them…the thing about it, it’s not just about politics, it’s about morality, ethics, it’s about cruelty,… pic.twitter.com/TqMu3wzFXC— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 6, 2025
Think about that for a second. A Trump supporter could be dying, in desperate need of a transplant, and Behar would cross her arms and say, “Sorry, your political views don’t align with mine. Good luck with that whole kidney failure thing.”
Because, according to Behar, this isn’t just about politics. “It’s about morality, ethics, it’s about cruelty, it’s about discrimination,” she declared. “So it’s hard to be friends with someone who signs on to something like that.”
Translation: If you voted for Trump, you’re morally inferior.
Sunny Hostin jumped in to echo Behar’s point, arguing that today’s Republican Party is “not the Republican Party of yesterday” but instead the “Trumplican Party”—an extremist movement supposedly bent on hurting people. “If someone is supporting or voting for someone who is hurting members of my family, members of my community, our elderly, our children… I do have a hard time being friends with that person.”
Sunny Hostin agrees with letting the Trump supporter friend die:
“Yeah, I agree with that because I think, you know, we’re in abnormal times. This is not the Republican Party of yesterday…I think it’s the trumplican party in many respects. It’s so extreme. And if someone is… pic.twitter.com/jSJYcgXAKH— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 6, 2025
And what was their grand conclusion? That Trump supporters must only exist because they get their information from the wrong sources.
Ah, there it is—the classic View argument. If someone votes differently, it’s not because they’ve weighed policies, considered different perspectives, or prioritized certain issues. No, no—it’s because they’re simply uninformed. It couldn’t possibly be that millions of Americans genuinely prefer Trump’s policies over Biden’s. They must just be confused or brainwashed.
The irony, of course, is that these same ladies probably spent years preaching about tolerance and acceptance. But the moment someone has a different political worldview? They’re unworthy of friendship, and in Behar’s case, possibly life-saving medical assistance.
