Behar fanned herself with papers on the table as Sanders and the other women laughed. “We are going to be hearing about this at every single morning meeting next week and the week after,” guest host Sunny Hostin joked. It seems the feeling is mutual: Behar [said in October](http://www.thewrap.com/the-view-joy-behar-bernie-sanders-aroused-by-him-democratic-debate-abc/) that she is “aroused” by Sanders.
