Joy Behar refuses Pence's request to give public apology

On February 13, Joy Behar criticized Vice President Pence's Christian faith. She said that hearing from Jesus is actually called "mental illness." The trained seals in the audience laughed and snorted as they do at every anti-Trump administration attack, but ABC boss Bob Iger didn't think it was funny.

Behar privately apologized to Pence and he accepted it, but what he really wanted from her was an apology to "millions of Christians" who watch "The View."

Behar's apology only made the news after Iger acknowledged it at a shareholders' meeting, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize to her TV audience.

A source told Fox News "She apologized to the vice president, he accepted and said he wasn't offended by her comment for his own sake but on behalf of the millions of Christians who watch ABC and her show. He encouraged her to make the same apology on the show that she did privately to him."

Since Behar's hateful remark, The Media Research Center (MRC) launched a campaign to hold "The View" co-hosts accountable for their "anti-Christian bigotry." ABC received over 30,000 phone calls from angry viewers.

"The View" is known to attack the religion of Islam as well, especially The Nation of Islam whose leader, Louis Farrakhan, has spewed anti-Semitic, anti-white bile for years . . . oh wait . . . no, they haven't.

"What do you say to the tens of millions of Christians, and President Trump supporters, that your networks have so blatantly offended and ascribed hateful labels?" shareholder Justin Danhof asked Iger at Thursday's meeting. "Specifically, do you think, like Mrs. [Sunny] Hostin and Mrs. Behar, that the Christian faith is akin to a dangerous mental illness?"

Knowing that he was trapped, Iger responded, "I don't know where I start. First of all, Joy Behar apologized to Vice President Pence directly. She made a call to him and apologized, which I thought was absolutely appropriate" [if not a tad half-assed].

Iger told the shareholders that he was "glad to hear" that Behar apologized because he "takes exception" to what she said. "I don't think it was right," he added.

Wow, what a powerful rebuke of Behar's anti-Christian statement. Iger doesn't think it was right.

Behar's manager, Bill Stankey (aka "Stinky Stanky") told the Washington Post that Pence "understood that Joy wasn't attacking anybody and that there was some miscommunication."

A White House source said that "Joy in no way suggested her comment was a 'miscommunication,' adding that Stankey "lied."

It's always the coverup that gets these idiots in trouble.

The MRC doesn't believe Behar's apology is enough and also called for the unfunny co-host to do it publicly for all good Christians to hear.

"The bigoted statements made about the Vice President's Christian faith offended hundreds of millions of Christians across the country, the largest faith group in the United States," MRC president Brent Bozell told Fox News. "Their apology should therefore be as public as their insult. When they do that, this whole matter will be put to rest. Until they do, we will not let up our campaign to let the world--including their advertisers--know of their anti-Christian bigotry."

ABC hasn't responded to comment requests but they might have something to say if people who are wise enough to be offended by bigotry refuse to support them.

Scientists believe that watching "The View" can cause irreparable damage to the cerebral cortex resulting in a loss of IQ points and judgment.
