Joy Behar immediately corrected after claiming Jesus didn't call himself the Messiah

Fox News reports on an on-air exchange on 'The View' in which host Joy Behar claimed Jesus Christ did not declare himself the Messiah, prompting immediate correction from co-host Sara Haines, who cited biblical passages to dispute the claim. The broader context involves the hosts discussing President Trump's controversial AI image portraying him as a Christ-like figure healing the sick, which Trump later claimed was intended to depict him as a doctor. The reporting includes direct quotes from the broadcast exchange and captures the substantive disagreement between hosts, with bylined author Alexander Hall and sourcing from Fox News Digital outreach to the White House. Independent coverage from Mediaite and other outlets corroborates the core incident but uses more critical framing ('accidentally,' 'foolish'), while conservative outlets like Louder with Crowder lean heavily into mockery of Behar rather than balanced analysis. Watch for whether this exchange generates broader media attention or fact-checking regarding biblical claims about Jesus, and monitor how different outlets frame theological accuracy versus host credibility.
