On Thursday’s episode of The View, Joy Behar made a surprising statement by expressing agreement with former President Donald Trump regarding James Comey’s actions during the 2016 election. Behar stated, “I don’t like Comey. I agree with Trump on this one. I don’t like what he did to Hillary.” She emphasized her rare alignment with Trump, noting, “I rarely have something that I agree with Trump on, so this is one thing.”

Behar’s criticism centered on Comey’s decision to notify Congress in October 2016 about newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton’s private server investigation. This move, which occurred just 11 days before the election, violated Justice Department guidelines against influencing elections within 60 days of Election Day. Behar suggested Comey’s actions harmed Clinton’s campaign, stating, “I don’t like what he did to Hillary.”

The discussion on The View highlighted tensions over Comey’s role in the 2016 election, with Behar acknowledging the controversy surrounding his timing and motives. The clip, reportedly from Thursday’s show, sparked debate about the implications of Comey’s actions on the presidential race.
