âThe Viewâ co-host Joy Behar is taking issue with former President Donald Trump claiming God was on his side.
During his speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Trump stated it was because of God he was able to stand on the stage after a gunman tried to kill him at a rally.
However, Behar said, âI was raised Catholic. Iâm a Christian girl. When something like this happens to you, like this assassination attempt, and you say something like âGod was watching me,â that is a very un-Christian thing to say because itâs very narcissistic.â
âWhat about Corey⌠whatâs his name? Uh⌠Comperatore. The fireman who also died ,â Behar continued. âOh God was watching me and not them? Thereâs something very disturbing about that.â

Co-host Ana Navarro chimed in, âGod should have pulled the plug on that mic yesterday.â
She also suggested the bandage Trump had over his ear âshould have been over his mouth.â
Speaking of the moment Secret Service agents lept into action to protect him after the shooting started, Trump said on Thursday night, âThere was blood pouring everywhere, and yet in a certain way I felt very safe because I had God on my side. I felt that.â
âIâll tell you. I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty God,â he continued. âAnd watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a providential moment. Probably was.â
