Joy Behar would never insult her former or future cohosts of The View, she told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. "Don't ask me to trash these bitches that I'm working with now — I'm not," she said — before joking that Star Jones once coughed up a designer fur ball and suggested that Whoopi Goldberg is stoned all the time. But Behar won't be averse to having some fun at the expense of the 2016 presidential field as she retakes her seat on The View.
"I came back for the politics, you know?" Behar said. "This is a political year, and I wanted to be right in the middle of everything." Kimmel interpreted that to mean that she wanted a platform to air her views, and she agreed: "Well, yeah. I mean, look who's running?" Behar followed that up with a Donald Trump immigration joke and some barbs for Mike Huckabee, but there's at least one candidate she probably won't attack: Bernie Sanders. "A man who, like, talks about income inequality gets me hot," she said. "I'm aroused by that." That said, Sanders got to feel the burn at bit, too. Watch below. Peter Weber
