‘The View’ Ted Cruz Shocked By Joy Behar’s NSFW Joke
Ted Cruz made a rare appearance on The View this week. The ABC talk show welcomed the unexpected guest amid a battle with the FCC over giving equal time to Republicans. The Texas Senator had a heated but not hostile discussion about several hot topics. However, he was shocked when Joy Behar, 83, made a NSFW joke. Keep reading for more details on the surprising encounter.
Ted Cruz Makes Rare Appearance On The View
The FCC is currently investigating The View and other ABC shows for allegedly breaking a huge broadcasting rule. Networks are required to give equal time to political candidates. The rule applies to talk shows considered entertainment. News programs are exempt from following the rule. FCC claims that ABC’s shows only invite Democrats or liberals. The View and Jimmy Kimmel Live! claim they’re exempt from the rule because they are “bona fide” news programs, an exception created for Jay Leno’s late-night show in 2006.
The View actually welcomed several conservative voices in the last year. Former House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was on the show several times. Conservative reality star Savannah Chrisley guest-hosted for a week during Alyssa Farah Griffin’s maternity leave. Republican Ted Cruz was a guest on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
The Texas Senator joined The View to promote his new book, Going Further: The Incomparable Clarence Thomas. Ted Cruz has been close friends with the Supreme Court justice for decades. The hosts of the ABC talk show got into a heated discussion with Ted Cruz over affirmative action, which Thomas has always voted against.
Texas Politician Shocked By Joy Behar’s NSFW Joke
The View kicked off its milestone 30th season on September 8. The hosts teased a lot of surprises in store and viewers didn’t have to wait long for Ted Cruz’s surprising appearance. The Texas Senator is one of Trump’s strongest allies. Meanwhile, The View hosts are relentlessly anti-Trump. But they still welcomed Ted Cruz. Joy Behar may have welcomed a little too much.
She left the politician speechless with an NSFW joke. The 83-year-old made the shocking comment during a discussion about the current state of the economy and President Trump’s job performance. Ted Cruz was asked to grade Trump’s economy. He gave it an A. Joy Behar responded with an NSFW diss about the President’s approval ratings.
“His approval ratings are lower than my boobs at this point,” the comedian quipped. Her co-hosts and the studio audience cracked up at the NSFW joke. However, Ted Cruz was shocked.
“I’m just gonna stay far away from that,” he said. Whoopi Goldberg advised that the Texas Senator “just let it go.” Ted Cruz took her advice and the conversation moved on to another topic.
Joy Behar is known to make an inappropriate joke every now and then. She was accused of being “in love” with Vice President J.D. Vance when he appeared on The View in June. Share your reaction to her boob joke in the comments.
