Joy Behar stopped guest host Abby Huntsman in her tracks on Wednesday during a fiery moment on "The View."
The former Fox News host suggested that President Donald Trump had done a good thing by initiating military strikes against Iran and escalating the war in the Middle East, The Daily Beast reported. After a series of comments, Behar started to push back on Huntsman's claims.
"I think any time we can deter Iran, whether it’s for another year, whether it’s for 10 years," Huntsman said, saying Trump's move was to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. "I think that’s a win for this country."
“I don’t want to take away from what our men and women have been doing over there because what they’ve accomplished is incredible,” Huntsman said.
Behar asked Huntsman to identify what has been accomplished.
"Obama had a deal in place. Obama had a deal," Behar said, adding that Trump "threw it up."
The question left Huntsman stunned and silent during the broadcast.
"And what's the gift? Besides herpes?" Behar asked.
Abby Huntsman: "We don't know what the intelligence he got was, that's the problem....."
Joy Behar: "The word intelligence and him in the same sentence do not go together."
Huntsman: "What about wiping out their entire leadership?" #TheViewpic.twitter.com/OmoBVhaTDM
