Joy Behar of “The View” faced immediate and brutal blowback for a homophobic joke she made about an NFL player who came out as gay.
The show’s hosts were discussing the announcement from Carl Nassib of the Las Vegas Raiders when Behar made her inappropriate joke.
“After they said penetration in the end zone, they lost me!” she remarked.
Behar’s joke was immediately circulated and condemned by many on Twitter.
“Joy Behar makes a blatant homophobic comment. Will there be outrage? Will she be cancelled? No, because she’s a Liberal,” said one critic.
“F**k Joy Behar! Making an anal sex joke about a gay man coming out is utterly disgusting,” replied another.
Yikes! This joke from Joy Behar during a discussion of the first active gay player in the NFL.
