NEW YORK CITY – Joy Behar, longtime co-host of The View, has once again found herself at the center of controversy — and this time, critics say, she’s gone too far.

During a heated segment on Monday’s broadcast, Behar took a direct jab at former GOP congressional candidate and rising political star Karoline Leavitt, using what many are now calling “sexist” and “offensive” language. The remark, which aired live, sent shockwaves across social media and ignited a fierce backlash from viewers on both sides of the political aisle.

Behar referred to Leavitt with a term that critics argue reduces her political legitimacy and dismisses her accomplishments — a move many saw as a personal attack rather than political commentary.

“If a conservative had said this about a liberal woman, they’d be canceled in five seconds flat,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), echoing sentiments now trending under hashtags like #CancelTheView and #ApologizeToKaroline.

Leavitt wasted no time firing back.

In a surprising turn of events, Erielle Reshef, a prominent national correspondent for ABC News, has announced that she is leaving the network to join MSNBC. Reshef, who has earned a reputation for her thoughtful reporting and insightful coverage of major stories, will now be taking on a role as a national correspondent and fill-in anchor at MSNBC. The news comes at a time when MSNBC is undergoing significant changes in its programming and talent lineup, and Reshef’s move is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the network.

In a blistering statement posted to her social media channels, she demanded an immediate public apology from Behar — or, as she put it, “Joy’s career will face consequences she won’t recover from.”

“This is not just about me,” Leavitt wrote. “It’s about every woman who’s worked hard to earn her place in politics without being reduced to a punchline by liberal elites.”

Behar has yet to issue a statement or apology, and ABC has declined to comment on the incident. But insiders say the network is now under intense pressure to address the growing fallout, especially as sponsors and viewers voice concern.

This isn’t the first time Behar has ignited outrage for her on-air comments, but critics are calling this moment a tipping point — one that could threaten her decades-long career.

With tensions already high in an election year, the clash between Behar and Leavitt underscores the deepening divide in political discourse — and the increasingly personal nature of media attacks.

Stay tuned. This firestorm isn’t dying down anytime soon.
