The View's Joy Behar smacks Meghan McCain for whining about Melania Trump joke: 'You have no sense of humor!'

The View’s Joy Behar schooled Meghan McCain on the art of the joke Thursday after the conservative panelist complained about a quip Behar made that invoked First Lady Melania Trump.

The co-hosts were discussing Donald Trump’s appearance on Fox & Friends, during which the president disclosed that his lawyer, Michael Cohen, represented him in the “crazy Stormy Daniels deal.” Whoopi Goldberg said Trump’s statement to Fox & Friends shows the president “was aware that something was going on”

Referring to Trump’s decision to go on national television and discuss his alleged affair with Daniels, Behar joked, “today is Melania’s birthday—happy birthday Melania.”

“That was necessary!” McCain protested. “Come on! That’s so mean!”

“What was mean about it?” Behar demanded. “What was mean about it, Meghan? Tell me what was mean.”

McCain brought up a segment on Wednesday during which the co-hosts “all talked about how we collectively like Melania.”

“I do like her!” Behar replied.

“You’re making fun of her!” McCain shot back.

“I’m not making fun of her,’ Behar said, “You know what? You have no sense of humor.”

McCain tried to explain why she does, indeed have a sense of humor but just “feels bad for our first lady” who “understands how bad this is” and knows her husband is “a jerk.”


“I wish you would understand who the target of my jokes is,” Behar said.

McCain noted the “audience didn’t laugh either,” prompting Behar to quip, “so it was a bad joke then, so sue me—put me in jail!”
