THE White House has reportedly taken aim at The View after host Joy Behar went on an unhinged rant about President Donald Trump.
Behar hurled insults at Trump as the panel discussed the administration’s recent tiff with Barack Obama.
The controversy began when Trump criticized Obama while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, alleging that the former president attempted to “steal” the 2016 election.
The president cited statements from National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who claimed there was evidence of a conspiracy by the Obama administration to undermine Trump’s campaign.
Gabbard confirmed this week that her office is submitting their findings in a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
“Look, he’s guilty. It’s not a question,” Trump said of the former president.
“This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election.”
Meanwhile, Obama issued a rare rebuttal maintaining his innocence and dressing down Trump’s leadership.
“In keeping with the respect for the presidential office, we typically do not acknowledge the endless misinformation and baseless claims coming from this White House with a response,” stated Obama’s spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush.
“But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
During Wednesday’s show, Trump-hating Behar brought up the controversy and said, “First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan 6? Who was that again?
“That was not Obama,” she said, referencing the Capitol protests in 2021.
Behar went on to accuse Trump of being “jealous of Obama” because “Obama is everything he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green’s song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green.
“And Trump cannot stand it. It’s driving him crazy.”
In a searing response to Behar’s rant, the White House tore into the comedian and warned that the show could see an abrupt ending soon.
“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Entertainment Weekly.
The White House claimed The View had hit its “lowest ratings” in recent years and advised Behar to “self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air.”
The U.S. Sun has reached out to The View for comment on the White House feud.
COLBERT CUT
The White House’s comment comes after Trump celebrated the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show.
Last week, CBS announced that the late-night comedy show would air its last show in May in a “purely financial decision.”
After catching wind of the news, Trump celebrated, saying, “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” in a Truth Social post.
“His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!
“Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,” he said, speaking about Jimmy Fallon.
In a bitter comeback, Colbert said that the “gloves are off” and that he won’t hold back his thoughts in the last 10 months of the show.
