Joy Behar has sparked outrage after making a sexist remark about Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, suggesting that her looks were the reason behind her rise to the position.
On The View, Behar remarked, “She’s probably been put in there because, according to Donald Trump, she’s a 10.” This comment immediately drew backlash, with many critics accusing Behar of reducing Leavitt’s career achievements to superficiality rather than acknowledging her qualifications.

Former Trump administration official Alyssa Farah Griffin quickly defended Leavitt, pointing out that this was not her first job, just her first press briefing. Farah took issue with Behar’s dismissive comment, highlighting that Leavitt had worked hard to reach this point, dismissing the notion that she owed her position to her appearance.
