Internet Roasts Behar After Trump Jr. Calls Her out for Wearing Blackface

Big oof! "The View" is starting to look more like a clown show!

Co-host Joy Behar was roasted by the internet after she got into a heated argument with Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday during an interview for his new book, Triggered. The president's oldest son called out Behar for wearing blackface in the past, to which she quickly claimed she did not do.

Behar said, "[President Trump] called some Mexicans rapists, he attacked the handicapped, he bragged about it. We heard the 'Access' tape, where he bragged about grabbing women by their genitalia."

"We've all done things that we regret, I mean, if we're talking about bringing a discourse down, Joy, you've worn blackface," Trump Jr. replied. 

"No, I have not," Behar quickly retorted, and moderator Whoopi Goldberg interjected,  “I know blackface when I see it and that was not blackface."

Trump Jr. then dove into Twitter and shared a clip of "The View" from 2016. Guess what Behar admitted during that episode? That she dressed up as "a beautiful African woman" for a Halloween party in the 1970's. So she admitted it on television three years ago, and now she wants to deny it. Hmm...

"Here's @TheView's Joy Behar admitting on national TV that she in fact wore blackface. Why are they denying it now?" Trump Jr. tweeted.

Doesn't Behar know that once something is on the internet, it's there forever? So which time was she lying...in 2016 or now?

The rest of Twitter jumped in on the action:
