Behar's Apology to Pence Should Have Been Public, and Millions Await Co-host Hostin's

[CanadaFreePress] Shout it from the rooftops, pass it along to all of your most loquacious friends, and post it on your church door:"The View" co-host Joy Behar had to apologize for mocking Mike Pence’s Christian faith and comparing it to mental illness.

WOOHOO it all over the land.

For all of her bluster, over-hyped muster and for all of her bigotry on televised display the hate-spewing Behar apologized directly to Pence over the horn.

"Disney CEO Bob Iger said during the Q&A portion of a shareholder meeting on Thursday that Behar apologized directly to Pence on the phone. (Fox News, Mar. 8, 2018)

For Behar mocking Pence’s Christian faith and comparing it to mental illness was kosher for the public domain but she maintains a low key profile for herself.

The public, offended by her jarring mockery of Pence’s faith, may have remained unaware of her belated apology, had it not been for a single shareholder who took Iger on about it during a shareholder meeting question and answer period.

"The shareholder who asked the question was Justin Danhof, who is the general counsil for the National Center for Public Policy Research. Danhof told Iger that some of Disney’s recent decisions are "strange when trust in media is at an all-time low" and referred to Disney’s ESPN as a "24/7 anti-Trump tirade channel" before bringing up the Behar controversy. (FoxNews)

Kudos to you, Mr. Danhof for bringing these outstanding issues out into public view.

"What do you say to the tens of millions of Christians, and President Trump supporters, that your networks have so blatantly offended and ascribed hateful labels?" Danhof asked. "Specifically, do you think, like Mrs. Hostin and Mrs. Behar, that the Christian faith is akin to a dangerous mental illness?"(FoxNews)

"Iger responded by saying, "I don’t know where I start. First of all, Joy Behar apologized to Vice President Pence directly. She made a call to him and apologized, which I thought was absolutely appropriate."

"Iger told the crowd he was "glad to hear" Behar apologized because he "takes exception" to what she said.

"I don’t think it was right," Iger said.

#2 we don't have the text of the apology

perhaps it was only an "apology"

anyway, this leftist propaganda show has been running for many years; isn't it time to kill it off

#3 Big whoop - she should have been suspended for two weeks. I'm with Garth on this one - kill this show dead.

#5 It was all fun and mockery until Oprah opened her yap and said she wouldn't run for Prez unless God told her to. Wait, Oprah listens to her Imaginary Friend too? Oh noes! Let's just pretend apologies were issued and go on to the next outrage.

#6 This show performs a valuable national service. For an hour a day, you probably won't cross paths with members of the target audience.

#7 Strange for someone like Behar who describes herself as a comedienne. She's about as funny as a morgue. If the majority of Disney shareholders had any integrity they'd give Iger the boot and his successor would in turn give The View the boot. I'd love to see the video of all those nasty ladies being escorted out of the building.
