ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar was given a reality check by guest Bill Maher after she admitted she thinks twice about criticizing Joe Biden because she doesn’t want to help Donald Trump take back the White House.
Maher responded to Behar by pointing out that her refusal to call out Biden makes her “lose all credibility.”
Behar admitted she is “nervous about saying anything against Biden.”
She then turned to Maher and asked, ” Are you afraid that you might influence people who are on the fence?”

Maher replied:
“I think you lose all credibility — I do — my bond with my audience has always been I don’t pull a punch.”
“My bond with my audience is you’re not going to like everything I say,” he said.
“But you know I’m saying what I really think is true.”
“When I came back from the strike in September I said he should get out,” Maher said.
“Because he’s just lost the faith of people. It’s not fair. He’s actually done a pretty good job, but I said he’s going to be ‘Ruth Bader Biden’ is the term I used. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she stayed too long at the fair.”
“I remember Obama had her over to the White House like in 2013 to hint, y’know, ‘Hey, spend more time with the grandkids, would that not be a good idea, Ruth?’ And she didn’t take the hint, and she was not in good health, and she stayed too long, and she ruined her legacy and got the Supreme Court now to be a pretty right-wing organization,” Maher added.
For years, Behar has used her show to throw insults at Trump and his supporters while giving Biden and Democrats an easy pass.
Recently, Behar said that people who wear MAGA hats should “put a swastika” on it.
She also said that if Trump is elected president again in November, we “will not have a country.”
