Joy Behar took a moment to list some of the many firsts Donald Trump has had as president during Thursday’s episode of “The View,” including being the first president to pay hush money to a porn star. But co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was quick to counter that.
To kick off the day’s hot topics, the ABC hosts discussed the fact that Trump recently received a new first, after the NAACP announced it would not be extending an invitation to the president to its national convention. It’s a historic move, marking the first time the White House has not received an invitation since 1909.
“Well, I have a list of other firsts that Donald Trump has achieved. Would you like to hear them?” Behar asked, after Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin voiced their support for the NAACP’s decision.
“He’s the first president convicted of a felony,” Behar recited, with Hostin reminding the audience that it was actually 34 felonies. “He’s the first president to pay hush money to a porn star.”
With that, host Alyssa Farah Griffin cut in, pushing back a bit.
“That we know! That we know!” She joked.
The joke got a huge laugh from the table, with Whoopi conceding “she got a point” and one of the other hosts joking that maybe Abraham Lincoln did the same. But Behar wasn’t done with her list.
“He’s the first president to make an enemy of Canada. He’s the first president to publicly mock the disabled,” she continued. “He’s the first president to not offer condolences after a politically motivated assassination. He’s the first president to plan a North Korean-style parade that almost no one attended. So you see, he has other firsts.”
