On Tuesday morning’s episode of “The View,” Joy Behar was the first to denounce the situation.
“I have to say, I’m on Marjorie’s side for this because I don’t believe anyone should go up to any of us — in public — and harass us,” Behr said.
Of course, Behr was quick to point out that Green himself needs to remember that given his track record of harassing people in public, including survivors of school shootings and the President of the United States.

Meanwhile, host Sunny Hostin agreed that if the scenario went down as Green had said, she would be sympathetic as well. But given Greene’s other track record of telling the truth, Hostin said he definitely needed “more information” on this one.
Sarah Haines agreed with Behr.
