If Joy Behar has an enemies list, odds are most of the entries would have some association with Fox News. Speaking about the former news outlet's former star pundit, Glenn Beck, she's said, "I think that he is frequently ridiculous." Meanwhile, on Twitter in 2021, she wrote about primetime host, Sean Hannity, "[He] is like the guy you don't want to go on a second date with." But Behar has arguably dedicated much of her modern vitriol to Tucker Carlson. Fox's most popular op-ed star in the cable news sphere has often been taken to task by outlets like The New York Times for his purported support of white nationalism.
Such discussion was only exacerbated in May 2022, when a Buffalo teen who shot more than a dozen people in a store was found to have reportedly kept a manifesto reflecting Carlson's perspectives on critical race theory, per Vanity Fair. Behar believed the mainstream media should curb coverage of Carlson's soliloquies. "Just ignore him," she said on "The View." "Every time we talk about him, every time the media gives him air time, he gets bigger and bigger." Her jab came on the heels of another contentious Carlson declaration, this time involving his seemingly initial support for Russian President, Vladimir Putin who spearheaded the country's invasion of Ukraine. "I hope he's planning to move to Moscow, because he's not gonna be welcome here for much longer," Behar retorted on "The View."
