Joy Behar responded to the sexual harassment allegations against Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo stating that Democrats should “ignore everything,” hope it all goes away, and call for an investigation further into the claims, according to Fox News.
“The Republican playbook is, let’s hope that this goes away, and let’s not really go into it. So he’s right,” Behar said. “We should use the Republican playbook because the Democrats do the opposite. A case in point, [with] Al Franken, Senator [Kirsten] Gillibrand [said] off with his head immediately, you know, he needs to resign, and a lot of Democrats got behind it.”
“Now I noticed that she’s changed her tune,” Behar said. “Now she’s taking the Republican playbook to heart. ‘Well, let’s investigate this time. Let’s see what the allegation comes to.’ So, yes, good, thank you, Lindsey.”

Behar charged Republicans with looking the other way on past accusations against prominent allies like Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, although the 11th-hour misconduct charge against him by Christine Blasey Ford resulted in additional hearings by the GOP-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee in 2018. There was also a federal investigation into Ford’s accusation, although Democrats complained it was too short, and Kavanaugh was eventually confirmed.
