"The View" co-host Joy Behar was roasted on social media after claiming in a heated interview with Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday that she never wore blackface, a claim that was quickly contradicted on Twitter by the president's eldest son.
"[President Trump] called some Mexicans rapists, he attacked the handicapped, he bragged about it," she said. "We heard the 'Access' tape, where he bragged about grabbing women by their genitalia."
"We've all done things that we regret, I mean, if we're talking about bringing a discourse down, Joy, you've worn blackface," he responded.
"No, I have not," Behar shot back.
“I know blackface when I see it and that was not blackface," moderator Whoopi Goldberg eventually interjected.
Trump Jr. took to Twitter to share a story from TheWrap.com from a 2016 episode of "The View" that a discussion around Behar dressing up as what she described as "a beautiful African woman" at a Halloween party back in the 1970s.
"Here's @TheView's Joy Behar admitting on national TV that she in fact wore blackface. Why are they denying it now?" asked Trump Jr.
The tweet prompted others to mock Behar for what they argued was a "gotcha" moment.

p
Whoopi - It wasn’t blackface blackface.
whoopi probably talking about the kind of Blackface her boyfriend Ted Danza wore.
LOL
At this event Ted also tossed out the "N" word more than a dozen times. (look at how angry Whoopie is...)
If only we had a photo....then we could piss off Nickleback again.
There is a lot of reasons criticize this crazy witch but I wouldn’t exactly call this black face
Talk about THE most public and embarrassing Mid-Life Crisis!
Danson has yet to be beat!
Yes he’s pretty out there.
...I wouldn’t exactly call this black faceIf you aren't black you don't get to define what is or is not black face.
And some of them that crossing the border are. A factual statement. How is that a scandal? The fact she did in fact throw in the fact that he said some of them crossing the border were and not "all" as the media has repeatedly and deliberately misquoted him as saying was probably a slip of the tongue.
he attacked the handicapped
No he did not.
It wasn’t racist back then, and she meant well.
Besides, she probably didn’t know what she was doing and whatever wrong she did was accidental.
‘I wouldn’t exactly call this black face’
agreed...
The cow gets taken to the shed
Whoopi wasn’t angry because she reportedly wrote the jokes Ted Danson was telling...
Don’t do as I do, do as I say...Hipocrite...
They project and become hypocrites constantly.
