Joy Behar's Stunning Alliance: Why 'The View' Host Agrees With Trump's 'Nasty' Label for Nikki Haley

In a moment that undoubtedly sent ripples through political discourse and social media alike, 'The View' co-host Joy Behar found herself in an astonishing, albeit partial, alignment with former President Donald Trump. The unlikely agreement centered on none other than Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, whom Trump had recently labeled “nasty” and “not a very good person.” While Behar is famously no fan of Trump’s politics, his cutting assessment of Haley seemed to resonate deeply with her.

The discussion unfolded with typical 'View' fervor, as the panel delved into Trump’s fiery rhetoric.

When Trump’s specific jab at Haley was brought up — “She’s very nasty and she’s not a very good person” — Behar, to the surprise of some, didn’t immediately recoil. Instead, she leaned into the sentiment, offering her own reasons why she believes the label, in this particular instance, might just stick.

Behar’s reasoning was rooted in what she perceives as Haley’s shifting political stances and past actions.

She specifically harked back to the controversy surrounding the Confederate flag in South Carolina following the tragic Charleston church shooting. Behar recalled Haley’s initial perceived reluctance to remove the flag, followed by a change of heart. “She was saying, ‘I don’t wanna take the flag down yet,’ and then she changes her mind,” Behar stated, implying a calculated, rather than principled, evolution of opinion.

Further fueling Behar’s agreement was Haley’s complex and often contradictory relationship with Donald Trump himself.

Haley, who once served in Trump’s administration and later vowed to support him, then became a vocal critic, only to seemingly soften her stance again. This political dance, according to Behar and other critics, paints a picture of opportunism rather than steadfast conviction, lending credence to the “nasty” moniker as a descriptor for perceived political maneuvering.

The other co-hosts weren’t entirely in disagreement.

Sunny Hostin chimed in, concurring that Haley possesses a “nasty” quality, attributing it to her political strategies. Sara Haines, while not fully endorsing the “nasty” label, acknowledged Haley’s political ambition and strategic moves. The consensus among some on the panel seemed to be that Haley’s political journey has been marked by a willingness to adapt her positions in ways that can be interpreted as disingenuous or, indeed, “nasty.”

This unexpected moment on 'The View' serves as a stark reminder of the intricate and often surprising alliances that can form in the ever-shifting sands of political commentary.

While Joy Behar and Donald Trump remain ideological adversaries, their shared — and perhaps rare — agreement on Nikki Haley’s character ignited a provocative conversation, highlighting the complexities of political perception and the enduring scrutiny faced by public figures.
