One would think singing at a presidential inauguration would be the ultimate show of patriotism.
Not if you are Joy Behar, one of the co-hosts of ABC’s “The View.”
Behar recently took aim at country singer Carrie Underwood for agreeing to sing at the upcoming inauguration for President-elect Donald Trump, an act, according to Behar, contradicts Underwood’s love for country, as reported in the New York Post.
“She says ‘I love our country.’ How do you love your country and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon who really wants to destroy the country, in my opinion?” Behar said. “I don’t understand how you say you love your country at the same time that you normalize this convicted felon.”
Underwood will sing “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration Jan. 20.
Not all of Behar’s co-hosts agreed with her assessment, including Alyssa Farah Griffin, the sole Republican on the panel.
Griffin said she knows many people who both love America and voted for Trump on Nov. 5.
“I would not be the person to say don’t do it, because I believe in free speech and everything about it. I personally would not do it. No one’s asked me, but that’s another story,” Behar said.
