From Breitbart: Joy Behar said she fears that Pope Francis will be replaced by “some conservative guy” on Tuesday’s episode of ABC’s The View, during which the show’s co-hosts used the pope’s death as an opportunity to complain about U.S. politics.
After The View co-host Sunny Hostin said she hopes the late pope will be replaced by someone similar to him, Joy Behar replied, “I wonder, though, because there might be a backlash against how good he was, and how much humility he had compared to some of the leaders in this world right now.”
“So, there might be a backlash to it, and they’ll get some conservative guy in there who, you know, is anti-gay and everything else,” Behar added.
Elsewhere in the episode, Sara Haines noted, “There’s liberal popes, there’s conservative popes,” before claiming Pope Francis “was the most Jesus-like,” citing the late pope saying in 2013, “If someone is gay, and he searched for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?’”
Haines touted that the pope said everyone should love their neighbors. Behar retorted, “I don’t know if I love all my neighbors, though.”
The co-hosts use the segment to push a pro-immigrant, open-borders message, and bashed on President Trump and Elon Musk.
