Charlamagne Tha God Scolds ‘The View’ For Trying To Get Him To Endorse Joe Biden: “Why Do Y’all Need Us To Say This If We Don’t Feel Comfortable Saying It?”
Joy Behar may have confessed yesterday that she once (literally) cozied up to the Trump family, but her distaste for them clearly hasn’t changed one bit, photo op or not. On this morning’s episode of The View, Behar ripped Donald Trump for allegedly sleeping with another woman while his wife Melania Trump was pregnant with their son.
While discussing the possibility of Melania taking the witness stand in Donald’s ongoing hush money trial — in which he is accused of falsifying business records to conceal stories about his sex life before the 2016 election — Behar couldn’t hide her disgust.
“Allegedly, he was cheating while Melania was pregnant,” Behar said.
Resident legal expert Sunny Hostin swiftly reminded her, “that’s not going to come in front of the jury, though, the judge has ruled that won’t come up,” but Behar retorted, “We’re on television now,” earning a big laugh from the table.
She continued, “After Melania gave birth to the baby, he found Stormy [Daniels] to shtup around with, right? It’s like, people should look at him and say, you know, what kind of an insecure jerk are you?
“You know what I mean? It’s like, ‘Oh, my wife’s pregnant. I’m not attracted to her big belly or something. And now she’s paying attention to the baby and not me,'” she said. “That whole area where all this took place bespeaks of the insecure male that he is.”

Sara Haines, though, had a different take, insisting that Melania was likely not upset her husband had “meandered,” but was irritated that his disloyalty became public.
“She knew what she was signing up for,” Haines said, adding, “She knew what she was getting into. The part she’s upset about is that it went public. It went public, he chose a porn star, then had Michael Cohen be his big fixer. It was like, sloppy, sloppy, more sloppy. So I think she’s embarrassed by the smear of everyone getting it, and not being upset herself. It’s not a scorned woman.”
While we’ll have to wait and see if Melania will be a witness in Donald’s trial, we do have some insight on how she feels about the legal proceedings, thanks to a New York Times report published yesterday (April 16).
The Times reports that Melania has privately called the trial “a disgrace” and thinks it’s equivalent to election interference.
