The View co-host Joy Behar believes fans of President Trump must be feeling pangs of “disappointment” after a landmark Supreme Court vote.
Behar mocked the president’s supporters during the show Tuesday, saying they “overlooked” a number of problematic events during Trump’s campaign and administration so they could secure a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
“Bravo, Neil Gorsuch, and there’s hope for America. I feel much better today about the whole situation,” she said. “What a disappointment this must be for the Trump base. I mean, they overlooked Stormy Daniels, they overlooked the ‘grab them by the genitals’ remarks, they overlooked making fun of the handicap, they overlooked locking children up and taking them away from their parents, all for the Supreme Court.”
“And now, this is the thanks they get. I’m sure they are not happy today,” she added.
Supreme Court justices voted 6-3 in favor of making it illegal for employers “to rely on an employee’s sex when deciding to fire that employee” on Monday.
Behar also criticized Justice Clarence Thomas, who she said would not have been able to marry his white wife had it not been for a similar landmark case that paved the way for interracial marriage, for joining the dissent.
“Judge Thomas should hang his head in shame,” she said. “This is a man who, in fact, is married to a Caucasian woman, which was illegal until 1967, when the Supreme Court voted in favor of Loving v. Virginia.”
