The View co-host Joy Behar apologized on Tuesday for claiming that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett belongs to “a hate group.”

During a discussion on Monday’s show about whether Barrett should recuse herself in a LGBTQ-related case the Supreme Court will hear on Dec. 5, considering she belongs to a Christian group called People of Praise, Behar said:

Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s religious faith is being called into question again. There are calls for her to recuse herself from a case which is about a web designer who wants to post a statement that she won’t design wedding websites for same-sex couples because it’s against her religious beliefs.
