Joy Behar, one of the hosts of The View, said she only respects one conservative: Utah Sen. Mitt Romney.
“The only patriot on the Right right now, to me, is Romney,” Behar said Tuesday. “He is the only one that stuck his neck out. The rest of them are trash.”
Earlier this month, Romney voted to convict President Trump on one charge of abuse of power, becoming the first U.S. senator to ever vote for removal of a president from his own party.
Behar’s view of Romney today stands in stark contrast to just one year ago, when she slammed the Utah Republican for “groveling” to Trump.
“After Trump won, he was at the White House, I believe, begging for a job as secretary of state. Groveling,” Behar said in January 2019, casting doubt on whether Romney was expressing his true feelings when he wrote a critical opinion piece about Trump.
Fast forward do earlier this month, and Behar was praising Romney after his impeachment vote. She even encouraged Romney to consider another run for the White House.
“Thank you Mitt Romney. Now run against the Impeachee in chief,” she tweeted.
Thank you Mitt Romney. Now run against the Impeachee in chief.
