Joy Behar Slams Congress For Lacking ‘Testicularity’ In Confirmation Hearings
HuffPost
“I see this every day, all these people capitulating to Trump and his dictatorial needs,” the “View” co-host said, discussing nominee Robert F. Kennedy.
Joy Behar wants members of Congress to do their job and show some “testicularity.”
“The View” launched into a discussion Wednesday about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, and wagered that he’ll get the job despite his past controversies.
Kennedy Jr. clashed with Democratic senators during his first confirmation hearing Wednesday and was accused the day prior by his cousin Caroline Kennedy of being “a predator” who allegedly used to put animals in a blender “to feed his hawks.”
When “View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked if this was enough to see the nomination fail, Behar replied, “I don’t think so” — and reminded viewers that former Fox News host Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Secretary of Defense after getting accused of sexual assault.
“So it doesn’t matter,” Behar said Wednesday. “We’re in a very bad situation in this country right now where there’s nobody in Congress that I’m watching who has the, how should I put this, the ‘testicularity’ required of the job, and I’m frightened by it, frankly.”
