Joy Behar stirred outrage Thursday as The View host complained that the war in Ukraine will disrupt her Italian getaway in the latest controversy to hit the tone-deaf talk show.

The long-running gabfest was discussing Russia launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine when Behar began to whine about her summer trip getting ruined. Behar's foot-in-mouth moment comes on the heels of the global fury stirred by co-host Whoopi Goldberg after she said that Holocaust was 'not about race.'

On Thursday, co-host Sunny Hostin, 53, laid out some of the facts regarding the warfare in eastern Europe, which saw mass evacuations of Kyiv after Vladimir Putin launched his all-out invasion on Ukraine.

'Estimates are 50,000 Ukranians will be dead or wounded and this is going to start a refugee crisis in Europe. We're talking about 5million people that are going to be displaced. It's heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen.'

Behar, 79, tried to bring the discussion toward western Europe, specifically, her apparent plans to travel to Italy, located about 1,500 miles from where Russian forces were bombing its neighbor.

'I'm scared of what's going to happen in western Europe, too. You plan a trip, you want to go there, I've wanted to go to Italy for four years and I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic and now this. It's like, what's gonna happen there?'

And if the Ukrainians don’t have bread, let them eat cake, right Joy?

BEHAR: 'I'm scared of what's going to happen in western Europe, too. You plan a trip, you want to go there, I've wanted to go to Italy for four years and I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic and now this. It's like, what's gonna happen there?'

She had been wanting to take the trip for 4 years, but couldn't because of the pandemic? The pandemic only started 2 years ago. Poor, noJoy Joy, trying to be a victim of circumstances.

I had trips cancelled too, I’m not bitching about it, that’s life.

Well, I haven’t had any trips canceled, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t afford to schedule any in the first place. Joy could complain to Biden who wasn’t smart enough to avoid this war. I voted for Trump so you can’t pin her problem on me.

Europeans are relieved she isn’t coming!

[TigersEye]

I guess you got my point then.
