Joy Behar Shuts Down Discussion About Trump's Inauguration on 'The View': 'I'm Too Aggravated Now'

Joy Behar didn't attempt to hide her frustration during a conversation with her co-hosts on The View about President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration.

“The guest list is set for Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Can’t wait. Not!” Behar said, as reported by TV Insider.

“Trump’s favorite oligarchs—sorry, I mean, billionaires—are sure to be in attendance, but one VIP who’s skipping the event is former First Lady Michelle Obama," she continued.

When asked whether this was a good decision, Sunny Hostin explained why she thought Obama was making the best choice.

“Yes, Lord, she is so right. She gave us that, ‘When they go low, we must go high.' And I think she’s changed her tune," Hostin said. "I think when they go low, you have to meet that energy and perhaps go even lower. Become small, like an ant, and go to the Earth’s crust.”

Hostin went on to point out that Obama "said that she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration because there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage that there was a reflection of the broader sense of what America looks like, and many people took pictures of her and there, and she just wasn’t in a good mood.”

While Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed with Hostin, she argued that Nancy Pelosi should attend (the former speaker of the house will not be at the event).

“I think it’s a missed opportunity for two reasons," Griffin said. "I think that showing that the country is still going to move forward, even if the person you didn’t want to win wins, even if you have grave concerns about who they are. But also, she is still a leader among Democrats."

Griffin added, "She’s a sitting lawmaker. While she’s not speaker, she’s speaker emeritus. I think it’s kind of signaling, almost, Democrats retreating when there is something powerful to showing up and saying, ‘We’re here, we’re going to sit here, listen to him take the oath of office, be sworn in. But we also exist.'”

Sara Haines felt the same way as Griffin.

"I don’t mind Michelle Obama not attending again," Griffin said. "Their family has given so much to this country. They have done so much that at this point, the tradition is the people that were in office, the presidents, the vice presidents, senators…”

“He broke that tradition,” Hostin pointed out.

“I don’t care what Donald Trump does. I will not stop fighting," Griffin replied. "None of us here voted for him. If we think he is all those things we said, then you continue to do your job harder. You show up. You do the things. The fact that she is speaker emeritus. You’re right. You do not say, ‘Well, they did it before.’ That’s like preschool.”

Ana Navarro, however, had a different take.

“I can’t believe I’m defending her because I’m with Joe Biden on this one. But she’s 84 years old," Navarro said. "She just fell first and broke her hip...She’s on a walker. The inauguration is outdoors.”

Behar took issue with the government officials planning to go to the ceremony.

“What bothers me is the capitulation that’s going on everywhere," Behar said. "I mean, at this point, Michelle, Nancy, Kamala [Harris], and Karen Pence are standing up against Trump. The men are folding like cheap suits…I just want to say, this is not a normal inauguration. This is not a normal person. He’s a convicted felon. Why do they go as if this is a normal inauguration?”

“Because it presents to the friggin’ globe, when you have presidents that say, ‘Just because this we’re not gonna normalize Trump,’" Haines shot back. "America voted. The normalizing of President Trump happened when the American public went out and voted.”

After Navarro praised Obama for putting "her mental health first" by opting out of the inauguration, Behar signaled a commercial break.

“I’m too aggravated now," she said, putting an end to the discussion.
