Joy Behar calls her ‘The View’ co-hosts ‘naive’ for showcasing support for TrumpRx
Joy Behar criticised businessman Mark Cuban and The View co-hosts for supporting TrumpRx. Cuban joined Trump in the White House as his own company, Cost Plus, aims at cost reduction for drugs. “First of all, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with,” Behar said. She added, “And you know, I like Mark Cuban. I’ve always liked him, but this is a this is a mistake.” The 83-year-old continued, “And once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we’re all going to die. Okay.”
The mother of one went out to list the failed businesses of the politician. “He put his name on the Trump shuttle, the Trump vodka, the Trump University, the Trump hotel, and my favorite, the casinos that all went bankrupt,” she stated. However, Alyssa Farah Griffin disagreed with her, saying, “The drugs don’t actually have his name. Their existing drugs are involved with it.” Griffin also shared that a medication she took “for IVF is a tenth of the price on TrumpRx.”
She believed that Trump’s association should not disregard an important initiative. “It’s tacky that his name is on it. Mark Cuban has dedicated his life to bringing down prescription drug costs,” the political strategist shared. Griffin further explained how “one third of Americans cut back on essential foods and utilities to be able to cover their prescription drug costs.” However, Sunny Hostin supported Behar’s views while Sara Haines expressed, “Bring down the prices, and if you’re going to get results on this, call it Donald Trump Medicine. I don’t care what you call it.” As such, Behar told Griffin and Haines, “You are so naive, the two of you.”
