“The View” co-host\u00a0Joy Behar said<\/a>\u00a0Thursday she could be friends with a Trump supporter, despite her vocal dislike of the president, while discussing a scene from a hit show that went viral for addressing the divisive political climate.<\/p>\n

“I could be friends with a Trump supporter, I won’t give them a kidney, but I could be friends with them,” Behar said. “The thing about it is, it\u2019s not just about politics, it\u2019s about morality, ethics, it\u2019s about cruelty, it\u2019s about discrimination, and it\u2019s about a lot of things, so those are personal human values.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not really just talking about fiscal conservative, who pays more taxes. We\u2019re talking about you, as a human being, so it\u2019s hard to be friends with someone who signs on to something like that. On the other hand, they’re open to discussion. I like to talk to them and find out what exactly do you know about this guy,” Behar added.<\/p>\n

The co-hosts of “The View” discussed a scene in HBO’s “The White Lotus,”\u00a0which went viral<\/a>\u00a0after one character, Kate, played by Leslie Bibb, hinted that she voted for\u00a0President Donald Trump<\/a>. The other characters, Laurie, played by Carrie Coon, and Jaclyn, played by Michelle Monaghan, pushed her into admitting how she voted, which she conveyed with a facial expression.<\/p>\n

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked for Trump during his first term but ended up voting for former\u00a0Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>\u00a0in the last election, described the political make-up of her own friend group.<\/p>\n

“My friends are very equally split. My best friend is a Democrat, but in our immediate group, we have people who voted for Trump. If you know people to their core, you know their values, and you know why they decided, you can respect them and co-exist with them, supporting somebody you didn\u2019t,” she said.<\/p>\n

Sunny Hostin said she agreed with Behar and said it would be hard to be friends with someone who is “hurting” members of her family, community, and the elderly, while gutting the government.<\/p>\n

Co-host Sara Haines said during the discussion that it was common to know people and be friends with people who vote differently.<\/p>\n

“I went from Midwest conservative life to super-liberal East Coast life and I also know that, Joy, when you mention like how could anyone vote for that? When you go into their bubbles and see the coverage they\u2019re watching and their families and their churches, they\u2019re not voting on this awful human being that seeing over here, they’re voting on the way it\u2019s captured with their own beliefs,” Haines said. “If I share the values, which I love people that did vote for him, and I love them, that part is more important to me.”<\/p>\n

In “The White Lotus,” Laurie asks Kate outright if\u00a0she voted for Trump,<\/a>\u00a0to which she responds with a curt smile and a long pause before saying, “Are we really gonna talk about Trump tonight?” and quickly changing the subject. Later that night, Kate sees Jaclyn and Laurie laughing and mocking her decision to vote for Trump.<\/p>\n

Kate maintained that she was an independent but admitted at dinner that her husband, Dave, was a member of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

The admission transpired after religion was brought up over dinner and Kate explained she and her husband go to church every Sunday. When asked if it ever got awkward when discussing politics, Kate seemed oblivious to why it would be, but her friends were operating under the assumption that she was a Democrat.<\/p>\n

Notably, the show was shot a year ago while Trump’s re-election was up in the air, but “The White Lotus” creator Mike White has been praised for his foresight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
