Joy Behar of ‘The View’ joined other women on the show to mock and criticize Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith (see video below). The comments were made during a segment on the show discussing  a comment made about Pence by a former White House staffer:

“It’s one thing to talk to Jesus,” Ms. Behar, an agnostic, said during Tuesday’s show. “It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s called mental illness if I’m not correct. That’s hearing voices.”

Washington Times reports:

The ladies of ABC’s “The View” found themselves wondering if Mr. Pence has a “mental illness” this week after former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman opined on his Christian faith. Her claim on “Celebrity Big Brother” that “Jesus tells  Pence to say things” worried Ms. Behar, but the vice president said she — and ABC executives — should be more concerned with in-house bigotry:

“I actually heard that ABC has a program that compared my Christianity to mental illness,” Pence said on-stage during an interview with Axios on Wednesday. “And I’d like to laugh about it, but I really can’t.”

“I have to tell you, to have ABC maintain a broadcast forum that compared Christianity to mental illness is just wrong,” he continued. “And it’s an insult, not to me, but to the vast majority of the American people who, like me, cherish their faith. My Christianity is the most important thing in my life.”

Pence added that Behar’s comment “demonstrates how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people.” He added, “It’s just simply wrong for ABC to have a television program that expresses that kind of religious intolerance. We’re better than that.”
