Joy Behar Mocks Donald Trump's Love For 'Cats' The Musical With A Reference To His Infamous Remark

"The View" ladies are at it again, and this time they're mocking President Donald Trump's love of the "Cats" musical.

During the latest episode of the show, Comedian Joy Behar revealed she is not surprised that the musical is Trump's favorite, while making a lewd joke about the billionaire politician.

The joke by Joy Behar comes after it was revealed that ABC bosses had called on the co-hosts of "The View" to tone down their criticism of Donald Trump and focus on more celebrity content.

Behar took a swipe at Donald Trump for his love of "Cats," the musical, on "The View."

All eyes were on the president when he attended a recent performance of "Les Mis" at the Kennedy Center, where he revealed the classical musical is one of his favorites.

However, the ladies weren't buying it, as Alyssa Farah Griffin, the White House communications director during Trump's first presidency, disclosed that "Cats" was indeed President Trump's "all-time favorite."

"That tracks," Sara Haines said, drawing some laughs from the audience.

It was then Behar quipped, "He likes to grab them by the cat, you know," seemingly referencing the infamous recording that resurfaced in 2016 during his first presidential election in which Trump can be heard telling TV host Billy Bush, "When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab them by the p-ssy. You can do anything."

The ladies took turns taking playful jabs at the billionaire politician during the latest episode of "The View."

Sunny Hostin, who could be seen struggling to contain her laughter following Behar's remark about "Cats," asked why the president has a "weird obsession about art in particular," to which Behar admitted that she is beginning to "feel sorry for him."

"He craves this group, the glitterati, to love him," Behar noted about Trump's alleged "obsession" with celebrities and pop culture. She later said, "He craves Lindsay Lohan and he gets Lindsay Graham."

Elsewhere in their chat, Behar noted that she couldn't say for a fact that her attention is one of those Trump is contending for.

Whoopi Goldberg then told her, "He wants you to love him," but then, Behar appeared skeptical, telling the comedian, "I don't know about me, but maybe you."

Amid the discussion about Trump's love of the arts, Hostin explained that the president's alleged "obsession" aligns with what she has read about authoritarian regimes.

"When you read about autocracies and authoritarianism, they generally understand that they want to control culture. They want that, and that's very important because creativity is a threat to their power," Hostin shared, per Decider.

She continued, "I think a lot of the time, it's about artistic expression and freedom, and I think that's why he wants to control the Kennedy Center."

Behar and the other co-hosts on the daytime show are well-known Trump critics and have often used their platform to dissect his politics and, when necessary, poke fun at him.

However, reports have emerged suggesting that ABC's top executives want them to "tone down" their political rhetoric, especially as it relates to Trump, and focus more on pop culture sessions.

Insiders told The Daily Beast that the network's top executives, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic, have expressed concern about the ladies' constant focus on Trump and politics.

Karamehmedovic, in particular, reportedly held a meeting with "The View" executive producer Brian Teta and its hosts, where he encouraged them to do more of their highly rated episodes with celebrities.

The stars of "The View" reportedly pushed back against the move, with one source sharing that they told their boss, "This is what our audience wants. Isn't it gonna look kind of bad if we're all of a sudden not talking about politics?"

They reportedly found the requests "silly" and seemingly decided that "they were just going to keep doing their thing."

Ana Navarro is said to have pointed out that the audience usually seeks out their stance on political issues, with multiple sources suggesting she had a direct conversation with Iger during Disney's recent Upfront presentation day to advertisers.

The insiders said that Navarro thanked Iger for allowing them to do their job in a politically turbulent environment, and that the network's boss confirmed he supports the show but believes they needed to reassess their political rhetoric.
