Joy Behar: ‘Racist’ Senate Won’t Confirm Scalia Replacement Because of Obama’s ‘Color’ (NewsBusters)

President Barack Obama has less than a year left as commander in chief, but that isn’t keeping talk show hosts from making his race an issue – even now.

On Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg slammed her co-host Joy Behar while The View ladies discussed conspiracy theories surrounding Justice Antonin Scalia’s recent death. But Goldberg didn’t really make a fuss when Behar made another proposition: the Senate won’t confirm of a new justice appointed by President Obama because of his “color.”

Goldberg introduced the topic of SCOTUS justice confirmation to The View ladies with disgust.

“[S]ome Republican candidates and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell both say that the next president should nominate Scalia's replacement, but not President Obama,” she began. “And they must know it's in the job description,” she laughed, “it comes as part of the job.”
