Joy Behar Warns She May Quit 'The View' Any Day Now
Far-left host says she considering walking from leftist ABC show

Far-left co-host of "The View" Joy Behar is warning that she may quit the controversial leftist ABC show any day now.
Behar has reportedly been mulling the possibility of leaving the program when her contract ends this summer, according to Variety.
Variety reported in April 2020 that Behar first mentioned her plans for retirement during an interview for the nonfiction book, “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View.”
"I have a three-year contract,” Behar said in the book, which was first published in 2019.
"But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave if I want to, because they can’t really do anything to me at this point," she added.
"I don’t see myself staying for more [time]."
"That’s it! I could be wrong," Behar continued.
"If I’m as fabulous in [2022] as I am now, I’ll think about.
"But the chances of that happening…
"You know, time marches on. I’m not a kid.”
Now that the contract is nearing an end, multiple social media users are expressing their delight and relief about Behar's possible exit.
"@JoyVBehar thank Goodness [you’re] leaving the view but your negativity and reputation will always stay a part of you,” one social media user wrote.
"What derogatory statements you make are a reflection of who you are and not of the people you talk about.”

Harsh as that sounds, Behar has become infamous for her outrageous statements about people she does not like.
In the latest example, she suggested on Monday she wanted to jump out of a plane and land on the Supreme Court following its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“It’s not easy to jump out of a plane.”

In May 2020, Behar called former President Donald Trump a “disgusting racist,” and she suggested anyone who supported him may also be a racist.

However, Behar failed to prove any examples of Trump doing or saying anything that would be considered "racist."
This irrational tendency to attack or threaten everyone she disagrees with is a key reason why many were celebrating her reported retirement.

When reports of Behar’s possible retirement were swirling in 2020, an ABC representative attempted to throw cold water on the suggestion.
"This is not true,” the representative said.
"Joy was asked what happens at the end of her contract and as she herself made clear in the interview, if she’s ‘as fabulous in [2022] as I am now,’ she will be in her seat at the table.”
The fact is that many viewers find Behar’s hate and vitriol far from “fabulous.”
Removing her spiteful comments from the airwaves might not be the worst thing.
