The women discussed their opinions on her campaign ad and if they think she is going to be a good candidate.
After Sara Haines delivered her point, Sunny spoke up.
“I’d like to be the curmudgeon at the table this morning, as I often am,” she said.
“Can I interrupt you?” Joy Behar asked, as she looked at her Apple watch. “Because I just got a note.”
“Sure, because you’re a curmudgeon, too,” Sunny shot back.
Joy read the note and Sunny kept quiet, playing with her necklace.
Sunny then went on to make her point.
However, fans didn’t sit well with her comment and took to Twitter to slam her for it.
“Sunny just told Joy she was a curmudgeon too! That’s a bit too much, girl! #TheView,” wrote one fan.
“Did Sunny just call Joy a curmudgeon? #TheView,” asked another.
NO JOY HERE
Joy has proved to be a curmudgeon in the past, as she has shouted at Sunny.
Earlier this month, The View crew discussed representative Ilhan Omar’s boot from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Though Joy, 80, admitted that she thought the Democrat’s removal was wrong, she did slam her for previously making antisemitic comments.
“You know, I have to say about her though, there’s something that she said that I’m not sure about.
“I mean I get what you’re saying, believe me, I understand that because the right-wing are very hypocritical but she said that she did not know what she said that was construed as antisemitic, she didn’t know that that was what they called a ‘Jewish trope.’
“That people equate money with Jews. I don’t believe her,” she explained.
Sunny, 54, then chimed in with her own two cents, defending Ilhan by saying: “I do, I think she’s an immigrant, I think she’s had a different experience.”
“She’s been here a long time,” Joy shot back.
Sunny continued: “That’s a trope that you largely hear in this country, so I’m not surprised she didn’t know-”
But Joy was not pleased with the comment, brusquely interrupting her co-star by saying: “That is not a trope….”
As Sunny kept talking, Joy grew louder, shouting: “Excuse me! That is not a trope that is just here in this country, that is a worldwide trope!”
The entire panel then erupted into bickering as they argued Ilhan’s intentions.
SASSY SUNNY
Sunny and Joy have butted heads many times on the show.
Back in January, Sunny called out her co-host for once getting fired.
While chatting with author Stephen A. Smith, Sunny had some time to ask him a question of her own as the panel took turns speaking with the guest.
“This book is fantastic, let me lead with that,” Sunny began after The View came back from its commercial break.
She promoted Stephen’s new memoir, Straight Shooter, calling it “very honest” about both highs and lows of his career.
“You were hired by ESPN in 2003, where you had so much success, but then you write that you let your ego get the best of you and it led to you being fired in 2009.”
“Yep,” Stephen agreed, nodding.
Sunny waved her hand with her next remark: “CNN fired me, GMA fired Joy, it happens to a lot of us.”
She spoke of co-host Joy, who previously worked at Good Morning America at the beginning of her career.
The off-handed comment prompted laughter from most of the panel, including Stephen.
Joy, however, was not pictured laughing at the remark as the discussion continued.
It’s apparent the rest of the hosts had a giggle at the comment, as the show resumed.
