Joy Behar discussed Travis Kelce's tweets on 'The View.'

“Here’s one of his [tweets], ‘D---, the Clippers girls gotta be the girls that don’t make the Lakers team ’cause they was all ugly,’” she read about the resurfaced comments, which he wrote in 2010.

“Why can’t girls hide they back fat?” she continued of the football star's old comments about women. “I feel like if you want to be a cheerleader, you have to pass a beauty test. There’s too many ugly cheerleaders out here.”

“He’s illiterate," Behar declared.

However, Whoopi Goldberg quickly came to the 34-year-old's defense.

“Young people do young people stuff,” she said. “What you said 25 years ago, may not be the way that you feel this time. So everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do.”

The Sister Act star then asked Behar why she's so focused on Kelce's past. “I’m a Swiftie,” Behar shot back. “I love her because she’s getting young people out to vote so I don’t want her to be stuck with this idiot.”
