Joy Behar surprised her fellow co-hosts and the audience when she kissed actor Anson Mount during Wednesday’s show. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg introduced Mount, and as he greeted Behar, she ended up kissing him on the lips.
Discussion Turns to Reparations
Later in the show, the co-hosts discussed hearings regarding the Smithsonian Institution on Capitol Hill. Hostin argued that Republicans were targeting the Smithsonian because the Trump administration did not want to pay reparations to Black Americans. She stated that this reflects a broad effort to reshape the nation’s history and avoid paying Black people for forced labor.
Hostin emphasized the importance of truth and reconciliation commissions, citing examples of such commissions for interned Japanese Americans, the Holocaust, and Native Americans. She noted that this has not happened for slavery, and that the country is trying to bury the truth and avoid paying African Americans their due.
