Behar says Speaker Johnson ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’: ‘At least Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan have the decency to look evil’

The View‘s Joy Behar expressed suspicion of newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA).

“Here’s the thing: He looks mild mannered. Yeah, he has the glasses,” Behar said on Thursday’s show.

“But at least Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan have the decency to look evil,” Behar said.

She continued, discussing her thoughts on Johnson: “This guy is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Just watch him — mild mannered, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT, anti-climate change. He’s a big taker of fossil fuel money.”

Behar went on a tirade about the new speaker’s political views, suggesting they were too conservative.

“The hubris of these Republicans to go against the will of the American people,” she said angrily. “American people are all in women’s rights, gay rights, climate change, things happening to fix the environment so that we don’t all die on this planet or drown on this planet. That’s what I call hubris because they are not listening to the American people.”

“And next year, we’re going to fix you,” Behar warned.

Johnson was elected to the speakership after three weeks of debating the next leader since former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) lost his gavel. Johnson was the fourth Republican to be nominated and was sworn in on Wednesday afternoon.
