‘Unwatchable Abortion’: Fox Commentator Launches Brutal Attack on The View as She Reveals She Once Tried Out for Show

Fox commentator Kennedy revealed she once auditioned for The View, and pulled no punches when it comes to the daytime talk show — and its longest-tenured panelist who she mocked as a “talking hemorrhoid in an auburn wig.”

Appearing on Gutfeld! Monday night, Kennedy described to host Greg Gutfeld how she jived with the co-hosts when she tried out to replace Lisa Ling, who left the show in late 2002. Kennedy said:

Actually I auditioned for the view in 2003 and went pretty far through the process and got along great because Starr was there. Barbara Walters was still alive, god rest her soul. She was lovely. Meredith Vieira was still there. We talked about conservative politics.

But as she turned her attention to Joy Behar, the claws came out, saying:

Joy was a talking hemorrhoid in an auburn wig. She was. So ungracious and awful. And she had a comedy writer writing her little lines during the breaks. And I was like, she’s not even funny. Like she’s not reacting to anything.

She’s not thinking in the moment. And then I made some jokes because it’s a conversational show before it became an unwatchable abortion, because usually there’s so much fun to watch. And she said to me during the break, ‘I’ll handle the comedy here.’ And I said, I said, great. Whenever you start like, I’ll ease up on the jokes.

Needless to say, Kennedy didn’t get the gig. Instead, Elisabeth Hasselbeck won the role.

Behar famously declared last week that she could be friends with a supporter of President Donald Trump, but “won’t give them a kidney.”

“I could be friends with a Trump supporter,” she said. “I won’t give them a kidney, but I could be friends with them. The thing about it is, it’s not just about politics, it’s about morality, ethics, it’s about cruelty, it’s about discrimination, and it’s about a lot of things, so those are personal human values.”
