Joy Behar clashes with Michael Cohen: ‘I can sleep at night, can you?’

“The View” co-host Joy Behar spars with Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s ex-attorney and fixer, in a new interview on his podcast, asking how he can sleep at night after all he did to help the former president.

“Every day for the past four years I have veered not once [from being] against Donald Trump. I am against that man from the giddy-up, from the minute he came down that escalator, and I have never gone in a different direction,” Behar told Cohen during an upcoming episode of his podcast “Mea Culpa.”

“I can sleep at night, can you?” she asked.

Portions of the episode, which will be released Thursday evening, were shared with The Hill by Audio Up Media.

Behar’s shot at Cohen came in response to a series of questions he asked about her feelings working with the only conservative “View” co-host.

“Do you find it difficult now to listen to Meghan McCain when she’s supporting Trump voters in the wake of the riots … how do you guys plan to handle politics moving forward?” Cohen asked. 

“As far as Meghan and I are concerned, we totally disagree politically. But she loves Joe Biden and she claims she didn’t vote for Trump,” Behar said. “It’s a job. It’s my job. I could be sitting there with Joseph Stalin and I guess I’d have to deal with it.”

Cohen pressed Behar, saying “you really don’t have to deal with it because the same option that I had. You don’t have to take the job.” 

“It’s not the same thing — as quitting the same thing, Michael,” Behar shot back. “Don’t even try to go there.” 

Cohen was sentenced in 2018 to three years in prison for crimes he committed while working for Trump, including lying to Congress and campaign finance violations tied to a scheme to pay off women who claim to have had affairs with the former “Apprentice” host.

Since his release, Cohen has written a book and launched his podcast, which has featured guests such as Rick Wilson, Soledad O’Brien and Ben Stiller.

Behar and McCain, who often argue on “The View,” shared a particularly fiery exchange earlier this month when Behar told McCain that she did not miss her at all while she was on maternity leave. 

“Ya know what, that was nasty. That was so nasty,” McCain responded. “I was teasing because you said something rude. That’s so rude.” 

McCain this week took a dig at journalist Katie Couric after she said some Trump voters need to be “deprogrammed” after being fed misinformation about election fraud and the coronavirus. 

“I think it’s horribly dangerous for the country and I also think it’s horribly dangerous for Democrats,” McCain said. “Honestly, they can go to hell because I don’t need to be deprogrammed.”
