“The View” host Joy Behar recently took aim at the women in Donald Trump’s life, suggesting that they catered to his ego and were submissive. These comments sparked reactions, particularly from conservative women like Fox News contributor Brett Cooper.
Cooper, who hosts “The Brett Cooper Show,” dismissed Behar’s remarks as absurd during a Thursday appearance on “Fox & Friends.” He asserted that the Trump administration includes numerous strong and capable women.
Behar hinted that Trump may not be fond of strong women, implying that he prefers those who are loyal and obedient. She also recalled a time when Trump harshly criticized her for making jokes about his hairstyle.
Interestingly, Behar mentioned that she hopes her critiques will influence public opinion regarding Trump’s administration.
Reflecting on her past experiences, she noted that while many male comedians make jokes about their hairstyles, Trump seemed particularly fixated on her comments.
Cooper countered Behar’s points, suggesting that Trump’s criticisms were more about her personality than her gender. He remarked that perhaps it wasn’t her being a woman that troubled Trump, but rather her behavior.
Cooper has recently joined Fox News Media and continues to advocate for prominent women in Trump’s circle, including First Lady Melania Trump, whose representation is somewhat overshadowed by Behar’s statements.
He expressed unease about how Behar’s comments might portray conservative figures like Melania, stating that her efforts and achievements should not be diminished.
Cooper highlighted the various strong women within the Trump administration, such as Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, among others. Each plays a crucial role in the functioning of his presidency.
This isn’t the first instance where Trump’s relationships with women have come under scrutiny on “The View.” Last year, billionaire Mark Cuban suggested that Trump avoids strong women because they intimidate him.
His comments also prompted backlash, with White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt at the time asserting that they belittled the contributions of many women connected with Trump.
