Joy Behar Is Offended That Floridians Are Making Fun of California

“Comedian” Joy Behar was made a bit irked during Friday’s edition of The View on ABC after she learned that people in Republican Florida had the nerve to make fun of liberal California. And the hypocrisy of her outrage was exacerbated by co-host Sara Haines scoffing and reminding Behar that they make fun of red states on the show.

As they dipped into questioning singer LeAnn Rimes if she’s ever been assaulted on stage a la Chris Rock and Will Smith at the Oscars, the artist recounted: “I have never been assaulted on stage, although … I was in Florida recently, and I got booed on stage for saying that I lived in California, which was actually the highlight of my career by the way.”

“What? Why would they do that? What is that,” Behar blurted out in honest confusion.

Rimes seemed to sense Behar’s percolating discontent with the story and tried to cut it off: “I was just talking about where I was from, and they just, like, they don't happen to like Californians, but that was okay because we went back and talked about the fact that I was from Mississippi and we were all good.”

“So, they just go after an entire state,” Behar huffed in disgust.
