<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar">Joy Behar</a> is being criticized for her comments about country singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/carrie-underwood">Carrie Underwood</a> performing at Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inauguration">inauguration</a> next week.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” the co-host expressed her thoughts on the news, saying, &#8220;I would not normalize [Trump]. [Underwood] says, &#8216;I love our country.&#8217; How do you love our country and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon who really wants to destroy the country in my opinion? I don&#8217;t understand how you say you love your country at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon.”
Behar later said, &#8220;I would not be the person to say, &#8216;Don&#8217;t do it,&#8217; because I believe in free speech and everything about it. I personally would not do it. No one&#8217;s asked me, but that&#8217;s another story.&#8221;
Former co-host of “The View” Elisabeth Hasselbeck called out Behar for her reaction to Underwood singing at the inauguration.
&#8220;That @TheView @JoyVBehar needs to simmer down off my friend,&#8221; Hasselbeck <a href="https://x.com/ehasselbeck/status/1879240323706343624">posted</a> on X. Hasselbeck later appeared on Sean Hannity&#8217;s Fox News show Tuesday night to explain her thoughts on the drama. 
Hasselbeck said “The View” doesn’t include “anyone there who has a lick of sense on most days,&#8221; per <a href="https://ew.com/the-view-elisabeth-hasselbeck-slams-joy-behar-carrie-underwood-8774728">Entertainment Weekly</a>. 
She also said Behar&#8217;s comments were &#8220;nothing more than selfish personal publicity-gaining right now&#8221; and claimed she &#8220;wants to attach her name to Carrie Underwood’s name so that she maintains relevance because she knows the ship is sinking.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Whoopi Goldberg also defended Underwood during Tuesday’s episode of “The View.” She said, &#8220;I stand behind her. If I believe I have the right to make up my mind to go perform someplace, I believe they have the same right. So I have to support (her). It doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m particularly interested in watching. I won&#8217;t be watching. But that&#8217;s me.&#8221;
Underwood has been facing a ton of backlash from fans following the announcement that she is slated to sing “America the Beautiful” during the inauguration ceremony on Monday. 
The “American Idol” winner later issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-rich-calls-on-country-stars-who-support-trump-to-announce-themselves">statement</a>, saying, “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event.”
Underwood added, “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
