Joy Behar is at it again — and this time the target is New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart.
The longtime “The View” co-host lit up daytime TV with another political tirade after the rookie QB dared to do the unthinkable in 2026 America: publicly support Donald Trump.
Dart, 23, triggered the outrage machine after appearing at Trump’s rally in Suffern, NY, where he introduced the president before a fired-up crowd at Rockland Community College. The former Ole Miss standout grinned, praised Trump and even hugged him onstage — a scene that apparently sent liberal TV personalities into cardiac arrest.
“I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump,” Dart told rallygoers before leading chants of “Go Big Blue!”
During a heated segment on “The View,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg initially shrugged off the controversy by asking, “Isn’t he entitled to his [views]?”
That didn’t stop Behar from going nuclear.
“For somebody to back a guy like Trump, whose history in discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination in the ’70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes… when he’s on a team that’s 55 to 60 percent of the NFL, that much percentage of black people, that is just the definition of stupidity and racist in my opinion,” Behar declared.
Not content with merely branding the Giants rookie a racist on national television, Behar also hinted Dart might need “extra padding” on the field — a comment many online interpreted as suggesting opposing players could target him physically because of his politics.
Predictably, social media exploded. “This crap has to stop! Stop demonizing people for their beliefs!!” one critic fired back online.
Another user mocked Behar’s assumption that NFL players all think alike politically: “She might be surprised at how many of those black players might possibly be Trump supporters.”
Others accused the ABC panel of obsessively injecting race into every controversy while being completely disconnected from average Americans.
The drama had already been simmering inside Giants circles before Behar tossed gasoline on it.
Dart’s teammate, linebacker Abdul Carter, appeared stunned by footage of the rally and posted online: “Thought this s*** was AI, what we doing man.”
That jab immediately sparked speculation about tension brewing inside the Giants locker room before the season even begins.
Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes quickly stepped in to defend the rookie quarterback and torch Carter for publicly calling out a teammate. “The locker room is a sacred place because it brings together everyone from all walks of life and beliefs for one common goal,” Tynes wrote. “Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work.”
Trump, meanwhile, seemed thrilled with his surprise football-world endorsement.
As Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasted through the venue, the president walked onstage and embraced Dart before later joking that the quarterback looked like a “future Hall of Famer.”
“I’m looking at Jaxson… I’m looking at the legs there. He’s this beautiful guy. He’s got legs like tree trunks,” Trump joked during the rally.
The controversy lands at an awkward moment for the Giants organization as the franchise tries to rebound under new leadership ahead of the 2026 season. Dart and Carter are both expected to play major roles in the team’s rebuild — assuming cable-news politics doesn’t blow up the locker room first.
Joy Behar calls Giants’ QB Jaxson Dart stupid & racist for endorsing President Trump.
Reminder, Trump won the popular vote, so Joy is really calling the majority of Americans stupid & racist, not just Dart. pic.twitter.com/7pAVl2Hr1H
