“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Thursday that a reporter should receive the “Peter Doocy award” for his question to the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden.

The panel criticized a reporter’s question to Ardern and Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin during their joint press conference Wednesday. The individual can be heard asking whether they are meeting because they have similar characteristics — namely age.

Behar compared the reporter to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy for asking the “dumbest” and “most irrelevant question.”

“When we think of all the women who have run countries, I mean, what is this stupid question? Are you meeting because you are two black women? Are you meeting because you both have breasts?” co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked.

“Well, this guy gets the Peter Doocy award for saying the dumbest question, the most irrelevant question, ever asked to a prime minister,” Behar replied.

Behar has not shied away from criticizing Doocy in the past, who is notorious for challenging the White House with tough questions in the briefing room. She sided with President Joe Biden after he called Doocy a “stupid son-of-a-bitch” on hot-mic, claiming the Fox News reporter would be fired by his employer since the president apologized.

She later targeted Doocy during a June 23 interview with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, asking whether she had to “swat him down” for his tough questions. Jean-Pierre said she appreciates and enjoys the “give-and-take” as it is part of her job.

Co-host Ana Navarro mocked the question by comparing it to hypothetically asking if the two women plan on “getting manis and pedis together.” She then praised Ardern as a “badass” for her handling of COVID-19 and gun laws.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin described the question as “cringe,” saying no one except that one reporter even considered their age or gender.

“They’re clearly getting together to talk about geopolitics, how they’re supporting the Ukraine war effort, how they’re going to support their partners in NATO,” Griffin said. “But we still do this thing where we’re so reductive about women, certainly they can’t be talking about national defense or foreign policy, they’re probably exchanging recipes. I can’t believe in 2022, that’s what we’re doing.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
