‘The View’: Joy Behar Says Dems ‘Should Walk Out En Masse’ – and Naked – on Trump’s Joint Address

Donald Trump is set to deliver the first joint address to congress of his second administration on Tuesday night, and if you ask the hosts of “The View,” Democrats should be protesting in big ways — possibly including nudity.

To kick off the day’s Hot Topics, moderator Whoopi Goldberg posed the question of how Democrats should handle the event, asking “Should they sit and listen, should they get butt naked and dance around? What should happen? Or should they all wait ’til the end, when freshman senator Elissa Slotkin gives the Democratic response?”

Joy Behar was first to chime in, bluntly saying that “they should walk out, en masse.” At that, host Alyssa Farah Griffin jokingly asked to clarify if that should happen while nude.

“Naked would be good,” Behar joked back, with Whoopi agreeing that “Naked could be interesting!”

Expounding on her actual thought though, Behar noted that having official photos of Democrats leaving would send a clear message.

“I think they should walk out. I think that a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll refer you back to Nancy Pelosi tearing up the state of the union,” she said. “We still remember that, that was a moment of protest. And just sitting there and being docile is not working. He’s over the edge.”

Host Sunny Hostin somewhat agreed, but argued that Democrats should not show up at all.

“OK, I’ll go with that too!” Behar replied with a laugh.

Hostin conceded that having official photos of Democrats standing in opposition would be ideal, showing that “the Democrats fought him, that the Democratic party is actually an opposition party at this point.”

“I don’t like the optics of walking out, simply because that sort of seems to me to get into the Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Lauren Boebert type of histrionics,” Hostin argued. “And I think it would be much better to simply deny him the audience that he craves so very much, and at the same time showing that they are the opposition party.”

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on. ABC.
