"They just hugged Hitler" - Joe Rogan highlights irony of ABC host Joy Behar embracing Donald Trump in past interview despite her Democratic leanings

ABC's Joy Behar had been particularly hostile towards Joe Rogan and Donald Trump during the 2024 U.S. presidential elections. Sure enough, Rogan was quick to point out the irony in Behar's attitude towards the president-elect during a recent podcast episode.

Behar has previously likened Trump to Adolf Hitler and even called him a fascist during a recent episode of the well-known ABC show 'The View'. In the lead-up to the elections, she had also resorted to appealing to Republicans to put aside their political affiliations and vote for Kamala Harris.

After Trump's win, The View host once again voiced her dissent for the 78-year-old, claiming she vehemently disagreed with the decision that Americans made. Add to this her geriatric insult to the politician during a recent segment, it is blatantly clear that Behar doesn't think highly of Trump.

It seems however, the talk show host didn't always harbor such disdain for the president-elect. During episode #2236 of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the UFC commentator called the viewer's attention to an old interview of the pair, where she was appreciative of the businessman.

Reacting to the footage, where at one point Behar calls Trump her friend, Rogan said:

"Look at these hugs, Joy Behar, a big hug and a kiss, Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg. Look at this, they just hugged Hitler... Look at this, they loved him, they sat down with him, they talked to him about how he is progressive and liberal when it comes to social issues but economically conservative and you might be a great president... Look at Joy Behar right next to him, all huggy kissy."

Joe Rogan opens up on 'terrifying' Donald Trump supporters

While Joe Rogan endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, he is not oblivious to how terrifying some hardcore Trump supporters can be.

Talking to his fellow comedians during a recent episode of the JRE, the podcaster narrated an incident where he was confronted by a maniacal supporter of the new president-elect. As Rogan sees it, running into such individuals is a truly daunting experience:

"There is a spectrum of the people that love him where you are terrified of running into them people... I was in Aspen and this f*****g lady came out to me and... she goes, 'You know Trump's the real president of the United States,' and I go, 'But he is not, Joe Biden is the president, they already called the election,' and she goes, 'Oh you are one of them.'... Those people, if you get caught with them, [sighs], they are all in." (2:53:54 onwards)
