In a humorous clip posted to social media, Damon Imani, a conservative influencer, poked fun at Joy Behar. In the video, he’s inserted himself into a clip of the View Host spreading misinformation about Supreme Court Justice Alito. Behar claims that an upside-down flag, seen at the judge’s personal residence, indicates that he’s secretly in league with the January 6th protestors.
“A photo has just emerged from days after the capital riot on January 6th showing an upside-down American flag flying outside Justice Alito’s house,” she began. “Now in case you don’t know, this is something that the MAGA people have adopted as a ‘Stop the Steal’ symbol. In other words, when you see that flag upside down, that means ‘stop the steal’.”
To which Imani responded, “Wait a minute Joy, an upside down flag means country in distress. You can look it up. So when you say an upside down flag means ‘stop the steal,’ which you just said live on air, you are spreading disinformation, the very thing you keep accusing he other side of doing. So based on your own rules, you are now a danger to democracy.”
Online commenters were quick to applaud Imani for his adept humor. “I have no idea why anyone would care what anyone on The View opines about,” said one user. Another added,” I really want to know how Joy responded after you told her what the real meaning of an upside-down flag was. ” One account said, “I laughed so hard I spit my morning coffee on myself!!!”
However, some users didn’t see the humor in this video. “You missed the point. At that point in time, it was being flown upside down by MAGAts because they believed the Big Lie. For it to be flown by Justice Alito 3 days before Biden’s inauguration speaks volumes about Alito’s bias.,” said a very angry commenter. “None of it good. Alito must recuse from these cases.”
“I just don’t believe that. It’s insurrectionist behavior that any sane American would never do. It’s disrespectful to the flag & our country. It’s MAGA behavior which should NOT be associated w/a SC supposedly impartial Justice,” another woke social media user complained, “Eat breakfast b4 you go on tv!” Joy Behar is often involved in controversy.
Just a few weeks ago, Joy Behar slammed Trump’s move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Behar claimed that the United States was “named after a white man.” Behar argued that it was inappropriate for President Trump to be so focused on the renaming of the body of water.”This country that we’re in was settled by indigenous people, right? And yet they named the country after an Italian White man, Amerigo Vespucci. That’s what America is named after, Amerigo Vespucci, a White European,” Behar initially said.

“Why was it named after a White man if it was settled by indigenous people?” she continued. However, some of Behar’s co-hosts had differing opinions. “The body of water south of China, which much of the world calls the South China Sea, China calls it South Sea, Vietnam calls it Eastern Sea and the Philippines has designated parts of it the West Philippines Sea,” co-host Sarah Haines said, “So it happens.”
