On Tuesday’s “The View,” Joy Behar openly criticized attendees of former President Donald Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden, which she controversially termed a “Nuremberg Rally.” Behar went as far as requesting a list of attendees, implying a disdain for those who support Trump. The discussion followed comedian references and name-calling against political figures, with Behar and co-hosts Sara Haines and Whoopi Goldberg critiquing rally rhetoric and accusing Republicans of using pejorative labels, including “Tampon Tim” for Governor Tim Walz.
While calling Trump and his supporters Nazis, The View cast have a meltdown over “Tampon Tim” Walz jokes.

While Behar’s statements underscore the intensifying partisan divides in the U.S., her language also spotlights an increasingly hostile public discourse. The remark further provoked Republican commentators, who accused Behar of creating a chilling effect on political expression. Her co-hosts added fuel, characterizing Trump’s supporters as sympathetic to extremist ideologies, reinforcing a perspective that dismisses conservative supporters as morally indefensible.

Behar’s call for attendee identification echoed for many conservative viewers a dangerous overreach into the privacy and freedoms of Trump’s supporters, drawing criticism that her approach mirrors authoritarian tactics of public targeting. Conservatives contend that Behar’s alignment of Trump’s rally with historical events associated with Nazism was a deeply misguided comparison aimed at marginalizing Trump’s base, which includes millions of Americans. To many conservatives, her comments signal a divisive ideological stance that threatens open dialogue and ideological tolerance.
Meanwhile, Behar’s critics argue that her self-styled role as an arbiter of “acceptable” comedy further reveals bias against conservative speech, framing jokes about Walz’s bathroom policies as unsuitable for public discourse. Conversely, many conservatives maintain that the rally speakers’ references were grounded in valid critiques of progressive policies, especially those seen as undermining traditional values.
