Joy Behar’s mocking of Christianity as a mental illness on ABC’s show The View isn’t going away as an issue.
According to the Media Research Center watchdog group, more than 25,000 people had called ABC to complain about a segment on “The View” in which the comedian specifically said Vice President Mike Pence suffers from the delusions of prayer.
“It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you… that’s called mental illness … hearing voices,” she said.
The View addressed the controversy last week, and Ms. Behar said she doesn’t think Christians are mental illness because some of her best friends and relatives are Christians. But then she went on to make light of the matter, with the help of host Whoopi Goldberg saying it was a joke.
The remarks prompted the MRC to demand an apology — and some pushback from the vice president himself.
“Make no mistake, the slurs against the vice president’s faith insult millions of Christians and are unacceptable. If there are no on-air apologies after this deplorable episode, Christians will tune out ABC programming across the board. And we will do our best to encourage it,” MRC President Brent Bozell wrote in an open letter encouraging people to call.
He also threatened to go to advertisers. According to Fox News, MRC had contacted five advertisers already.
“If there is no apology, we will contact the advertisers of ‘The View,’ and ask MRC’s millions of grassroots activists to do the same. I am sure the advertisers of ‘The View’ will be just as appalled as I am about the anti-Christian remarks made on the show,” he wrote.
