If the liberal media is going to keep spreading lies and falsehoods about Donald Trump and the people around him, it's going to catch up to them eventually. Joy Behar, co-host of "The View," recently found that out the hard way.

Behar recently apologized to Elon Musk live on-air after saying that he was "pro-apartheid."

Apartheid is a system of legalized racial segregation most commonly associated with South Africa, the country in which Elon Musk was born.

Behar's comments

Joy Behar initially made controversial remarks during a rant about Donald Trump's relationship with Elon Musk.

"The guy was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa," Behar said, despite constantly saying that conservatives are the intolerant ones. She added that Musk is a "foreigner" and a "foreign agent."

"So, [he] has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as I understand it," Behar continued.

In a not-so-shocking development, Behar's words turned out to be true. Similar to many liberals, Behar had absolutely no idea what she was talking about when she was ranting and raving against Republicans. As a result, she gave an apology once the show returned from a commercial break, something she was probably forced to do.

The apology

Joy Behar retracted her comments and admitted that she had zero evidence of it being true.

"Now I'm getting some flack because I said that Musk was pro-apartheid. I don't really know for sure if he was," Behar admitted.

"He grew up at that time when apartheid was in full bloom, before the great Nelson Mandela fixed that. He was around at that time, but maybe he was, maybe he wasn't - he might have been a young guy, too," the liberal host added. "So, don't be suing me, okay Elon?"

The audience laughed, which gave Behar some momentum to begin attacking Donald Trump's administration once again:

"They're allowed to say any lie they want but we have to be really strict," she complained. "That's why this show's important."

Viewers not impressed

Despite Behar's attempt at an "apology," many viewers said it wasn't good enough.

"If a person does NOT know something for certain or not, they should not go on blabbering about it & associate someone by name-then request that person doesn’t sue them," one person said.

"I wish someone would not just ask them to apologize for their lies and actually just sue the s*** out of them! How many times is this now?" another commented.

"That was one of those, NonApology APOLOGIES," a third person added.
