Vindictive Behar Tries To Dox Unlikely Star from Trump Town Hall: 'Let's Make Her Famous'

Whenever you’re a conservative and you hear Joy Behar saying that she wants to make you famous, the context is usually not good.
Now, granted, whether or not this means anything in space year 2020 is questionable. “The View” is little more than a crosstalk shout- fest aimed at a heretofore undiscovered demographic of female viewers who are home at 11 a.m. and apparently either suffer from low blood pressure that they need ratcheted up or find hypertension pleasantly intoxicating.
Thankfully, they also have short attention spans — which is why they apparently forget they could just as easily take each of the day’s issues and, with very little imagination, figure out just what each panel member’s screeching on said issue would be. I’m mildly amazed advertisers would find a group this distracted to be profitable, but this short attention span is a good thing for Mayra Joli.
Joli is the immigration attorney and former congressional candidate who was seated behind President Donald Trump during his town hall event last week and became famous on social media for her body language — especially her nodding — which made it clear she was on the president’s side.
Body language, indeed, was a major part of the takeaway on “The View” Friday from the president’s town hall.
“One thing I found interesting, though, was his body language for each voter,” co-host Sara Haines said.
“Whenever a voter got up that was for him, he all Sheryl Sandberg leaned in, like, ‘what do you have to say?'” she said, referencing the Facebook chief operating officer who authored the book “Lean In.”
“If it was someone that wasn’t for him, he looked uncomfortable, inconvenienced, didn’t want to hear what they had to say. It kind of cemented that whole idea that Donald Trump is for anyone that is for Donald Trump.”
(And if you examine Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s body language, you’ll also find he can tend to come off somewhat differently with people who seem to be for him as opposed to those who are against him, although I don’t particularly know if he does a passable Sheryl Sandberg impression. Biden is, however, the candidate who’s dealt with a problematic questioner at campaign event by calling her a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” I’m just saying.)
But then Haines got onto Joli: “And if you ask the nodder over his shoulder, the bobblehead, ‘He killed it, he did an amazing job,’” Haines said. “I was tired watching her.”
Then Behar chimed in.
“Let’s show people what you are talking about because — there were some surprise cameos from last night like this — the human bobblehead over Trump’s shoulder,” she said as a video of the town hall appeared, with Joli nodding behind Trump.
“There she goes,” Behar said. “Even Pence didn’t nod that much when Trump spoke. What the heck? She was so distracting.”
Conservatives, if you needed to be reminded, were fans of Joli:
