(EXCERPT)
Joy Behar has apologized to Vice President Mike Pence for comparing his Christian faith to a "mental illness" after the network and its sponsors received tens of thousands of complaints.
The Washington Post reported late Thursday that a phone call took place between Behar and Pence during which she apologized for her remarks on the ABC daytime talk show "The View" last month. The two reportedly spoke about how they were both raised Roman Catholic and Pence told her he was confirmed with the name "Christopher."
"Yes, she did speak to Vice President Pence, they had a great, very nice conversation," said Bill Stankey, Behar's spokesperson.
"The vice president was very gracious and very understanding. He understood that Joy wasn't attacking anybody and that there was some miscommunication."
However, an email from a White House source to The Washington Post noted that Behar "in no way suggested her comment was a 'miscommunication.'"
"She apologized to the vice president, he accepted and said he wasn't offended by her comment for his own sake but on behalf of the millions of evangelicals who watch ABC and her show," the source said.
"He encouraged her to make the same apology publicly on the show that she did privately to him."
