âAt the last minute to bring out this baloney, email baloney thing?â Her comments referenced Comeyâs announcement shortly before the 2016 election regarding an investigation into Clintonâs use of a private email server.

Behar voiced her disagreement with other co-hosts who described Comey as merely âdoing his jobâ during the Clinton investigation.
Hostin defended Comey by saying he was âjust doing his job,â to which Behar sharply replied, âWhat? At the last minute? To bring out this baloney, email baloney? Get outta here.â Her strong reaction highlighted her reluctance to accept the procedures followed by the FBI during the Clinton investigation.
This conversation comes at a time when The View faces scrutiny for featuring an overwhelming number of left-leaning guests, especially after CBS made headlines by canceling high-profile hosts like Stephen Colbert. Colbertâs cancellation followed his intense criticism of parent company Paramount in a dramatic public dispute.
In an even more tense environment, fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel found his show suspended temporarily after threatening remarks related to political commentator Charlie Kirk, igniting backstage tensions among the team at The View.

Indictment Charges Against James Comey
       
    
Comeyâs indictment followed an unexpected social media post by Trump regarding the prosecution of political adversaries.
On September 25, Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of obstructing justice and providing false statementsâboth claims he staunchly denied. Trumpâs removal of Comey from his position as FBI director in 2017 was notable since it coincided with Comeyâs ongoing investigation into links between Trumpâs campaign and alleged Russian interference in the election.
The indictment hit the news shortly after Trump mistakenly broadcast a message on Truth Social, urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to act against his political rivals, leading to speculation about the motives behind Comeyâs indictment.
A representative from the White House attributed Comeyâs indictment to his previous handling of the Clinton investigation, a contentious event that still resonates in political discourse today.
