Joy Behar scolds The View audience for not applauding Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford

The View co-host Joy Behar was scolding what she described as male members of her audience Tuesday for not applauding professor and Brett Kavanaugh sex assault accuser Christine Blasey Ford.

Ford made headlines in 2018 when she told the Senate Judiciary Committee about a high school party she and Kavanaugh - then a nominee for the Supreme Court - attended where she alleged that he cornered her in a bedroom, pinned her on a bed and tried to take off her clothes, while pressing his hand over her mouth. 

She appeared on the left-leaning ABC talkfest Tuesday to promote her newly-published memoir, 'One Way Back.'

Behar asked Ford what percentage of the 10,000 letters of support she claimed to receive came from men, to which Ford responded about 10 percent, which angered Behar. 

'What men need to understand, they have to step up to help us. We can't do this ourselves. I notice, I watch when people were clapping. Some of the men did not clap in this audience,' Behar said as she gesticulated at the audience.

You could audibly hear someone say 'wow' in response to Behar's demand on the broadcast. 

Ford discussed the memoir and was asked what she wanted readers to take away from it.

'I think people hopefully will be able to relate to a lot of different things in the book, like what it's like to speak up in any setting, and what it's like to face retaliation, but also that it's survivable, and it's more important that we all find a way to be civil and respectful and listen to each other, and support each other,' she said 

According to St. Martin's Press, the book will share 'riveting new details about the lead-up' to her testimony in 2018; 'its overwhelming aftermath,' when she allegedly received death threats and was unable to live at her home; and 'how people unknown to her around the world restored her faith in humanity.'

Kavanaugh was controversially appointed Supreme Court Justice in October of 2018, concluding a divisive and intense nomination hearing that included several allegations of sexual misconduct.

The most vocal of the accusers, Blasey Ford, alleged that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her during a party when they were teenagers. 

Her emotional testimony left even some Republicans wondering if Kavanaugh, nominated by President Donald Trump to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, would have enough votes in a Senate where the GOP held just a 51-49 majority. 

She told the panel that, during a high school party, she recalled Kavanaugh holding her down on a bed and forcibly groping her. Ford said she ‘believed’ she was going to be raped, and that Kavanaugh may ‘accidentally kill’ her.

The now Supreme Court Justice repeatedly denied the allegations, insisting simply that the encounter never happened.

Despite the media fervor and Senator Harris insisting both Ford and the American people ‘deserve better’, Kavanaugh was nominated to succeed Anthony Kennedy by a vote of 50 to 48.

'I never thought of myself as a survivor, a whistleblower, or an activist before the events in 2018,' Ford said in a statement tied to the book's release. 

'But now, what I and this book can offer is a call to all the other people who might not have chosen those roles for themselves, but who choose to do what´s right.' 

'Sometimes you don´t speak out because you are a natural disrupter. You do it to cause a ripple that might one day become a wave.'
