Joy Behar, co-host of the talk show The View, recently stirred controversy with her remarks about former President Donald Trump and the women in his inner circle.
Behar suggested that Trump favors women who are compliant and flatter his ego, a claim that sparked strong defense from conservative commentators, including a new voice from Fox News as the outlet itself reports
During an episode of the show Behar asserted that Trump prefers “obedient” women who consistently praise him. She elaborated on her perception that Trump does not value strong women, limiting his interactions to those who maintain his self-esteem.
Conservative backlash ensues
Behar also recounted a past incident in which Trump criticized her for jokes about his hairstyle. She inferred that his reaction was particularly harsh against her because of her gender, noting that male comedians made similar jokes without receiving the same response.
The comments prompted a backlash from conservative figures, including Brett Cooper, recently of the Daily Wire and newly hired by Fox News. Cooper labeled Behar’s suggestion as “completely ridiculous” and dismissed it by noting that Trump’s response might be more about Behar’s personality than her gender.
Cooper highlighted the influence of several prominent women in Trump’s circle, rejecting Behar’s accusations. She specifically mentioned Melania Trump, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Karoline Leavitt, and Susie Wiles, emphasizing their strength and intelligence.
Defending women in Trump’s orbit
Brett Cooper expressed that Behar’s remarks about Melania Trump were particularly “offensive,” defending the former first lady’s poise and accomplishments.
This defense was echoed by others who objected to Behar’s portrayal of women aligned with Trump as lacking agency or strength. They pointed to their professional successes and public influence as evidence to the contrary.
Remarkably, discussions on The View regarding Trump’s interactions with women are not new. Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban, for instance, had previously criticized Trump’s relationship with women, prompting reactions from the Trump camp.
Debates about President continue
Leavitt, currently serving as White House press secretary, previously described Cuban’s criticism as “insulting,” adding layers to the narrative of Trump’s associations with women.
These debates reflect a broader discourse on television and media about gender dynamics within political circles. Supporters of Trump argue that women in his circle are both strong and impactful, countering claims made by critics like Behar.
The controversy showcases deep divisions across the political spectrum on how public figures, including women, are perceived and portrayed in the media.
Media’s role in shaping perceptions
As political figures become subjects of public commentary, the framing of women associated with them as either strong or submissive remains a contentious issue.
While public figures such as Behar and Cooper continue to voice contrasting opinions, the debate over Trump’s alleged preferences for certain types of women is likely to persist. Both sides appear determined to validate their perspectives.
In this ongoing discussion, the portrayal of women affiliated with Trump often reflects broader societal views on gender roles and power dynamics in politics.
