"The View" co-host Joy Behar is facing backlash for a comment she made this week about nurses.
On Tuesday, Behar spoke about Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson's nurse monologue at the Miss America Pageant.
"Why does she have a doctor's stethoscope around her neck," is the comment that ignited a reaction from nurses.
Johnson is a nurse and specializes in Alzheimer's care.
"I want to say we love nurses, if you're watching, we adore you, respect you ... clap for the nurses," co-host Michelle Collins later added.
As the backlash grows, Behar has attempted to set the record straight saying she was stupid and inattentive, and didn't know what she was talking about.
