Joy Behar defends Chuck Schumer against Sunny Hostin's criticism

On "The View," hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar had a lively debate about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Hostin sharply criticized Schumer for his handling of a recent GOP funding bill. She confronted him directly, stating, "you caved" during a previous discussion. On Wednesday, Hostin continued to express her disappointment. Behar, however, grew frustrated with her ongoing critiques. She urged Hostin to stop discussing Schumer, saying, “The body is dead!” This comment illustrated her view that the issue had been exhausted. The hosts reacted to the backlash Schumer is facing, including criticism from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Alyssa Farah Griffin noted the surprise within the party regarding the infighting following Schumer’s decisions. Behar supported the idea that Democrats should not attack each other publicly. Despite Behar's objections, Hostin defended her stance. She argued that the Democratic Party should be fighting for Americans who feel unheard. Hostin insisted that Schumer had missed the opportunity to advocate for critical issues. The discussion highlighted significant tensions within the party regarding leadership and direction.
