“The View” co-host Joy Behar bestowed on Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie a title that he probably wants to throw away and never hear again.

Speaking on a behind-the-scenes podcast for “The View,” Behar admitted she is “excited” about the prospect of talking with Christie on this season of “The View” because she likes how the former New Jersey governor is running his campaign.

In fact, according to Behar, Christie is right now a “champion” to Democrats.

“I want to say to Chris Christie, ‘Sir, you have been a champion to the left right now because you have told the truth about Donald Trump,'” Behar said.
