The View’s Joy Behar Explodes At Meghan McCain Over Trump Comment, ‘Get This B*tch Under Control!’

It seems that most people can agree that former President George H.W. Bush was generally a good man who had the country’s best interest at heart.

However, on “The View” a basic conversation about Bush turned into a shouting match, with the drama continuing after the segment was cut short.

Things started off cordial enough with co-host Whoopi Goldberg noting how the remembrances from Presidents Clinton and Obama have helped remind us “how you can still not agree with somebody but be respectful of somebody.”

“He seemed to be coming from a loving, kind place also,” Joy Behar added of Bush Sr. “That’s what I’m gleaning from what they’re talking about, that he was loving.”

“He was also known for his humility as president,” Meghan McCain added, noting that as our last combat veteran to be elected “he was there to serve the people.”

Co-host Abby Huntsman highlighted Bush’s 73-year marriage to Barbara Bush, who died eight months earlier, and his dealings with the media. “I loved his relationship with the press because we talk about that a lot on this show—they were tough on him, it’s not like they were easy—but he had such a respect for what they did,” she said.

This led Behar to bring up another aspect of Bush’s legacy that has not gotten as much attention over the past few days.

“As a candidate he said, ‘Those who think we’re powerless to do anything about the greenhouse effect are forgetting about the White House effect.’ Then he signed into law the Clean Air Act amendment of 1990, one of the most sweeping environmental statutes ever.”

She then compared Bush to Trump. “This president that we have now is trying to unravel everything that he did and Obama did, and if I ever become a one-issue voter, it will be about pollution and the greenhouse effect and the fact that—”

And just like that, she was interrupted by McCain. “Can we focus on the president, please? I don’t want to talk about Trump.”

“Well, I do for a second, so excuse me!” Behar said. “Excuse me a second, please!” When McCain she was not “not interested in your one issue,” Behar replied, “I don’t care what you’re interested in because I’m talking!”

“Well I don’t care what you’re interested in either, Joy!” McCain shot back as Goldberg hastily threw to commercial.

Behar was then seen slamming her cue cards on the table and turning to sound off on McCain, right before producers cut to break. Producers muted Behar’s microphone so that her expletives would not be heard on air.

According to The Daily Mail, Behar threw her hands in the air, yelled “My God!” and “Get this b***h under control.”

“If this s**t doesn’t stop I’m quitting this damn show. I can’t take this much more,” Behar allegedly fumed.

Producers ran to the stage in an attempt to deescalate the situation, but Behar continued to rant, the source said.

“I’ve tolerated a lot of shit on this show but I’m at my wits’ end with this entitled b***h. Enough already! Enough already! I’m not playing nice any longer,” Behar shouted, despite the studio audience being able to hear it all.
