Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former co-host of the popular daytime talk show “The View,” recently made headlines with scathing comments about her former show and the current state of politics. Hasselbeck appeared as a guest on Fox News host Martha MacCallum’s show and did not hold back in her criticism of “The View” and its treatment of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The topic of discussion was Harris’s recent endorsement from President Joe Biden, who announced the end of his reelection bid. While MacCallum and Hasselbeck both expected tough questions for Harris on “The View,” the former co-host said she was disappointed by the lack of follow-up and tough questioning that should have been asked.
Hasselbeck did not hold back in her criticism of “The View,” stating that there was a “missed opportunity” for the hosts to ask the tough questions that viewers deserve to hear the answers to. She accused “The View” of being “absolute brainwashing” and “abandonment of what they had.” According to Hasselbeck, the show’s hosts, specifically Whoopi Goldberg, were “bullying” viewers into supporting Harris simply because of her gender.
Hasselbeck went on to say that this endorsement was “the first advertisement for the left” in Harris’s campaign. She pointed out that while the show is known for promoting women’s empowerment and encouraging viewers to make their own choices, the hosts were actively pushing for Harris’s victory based solely on her gender. Hasselbeck called this strategy “absolutely ignorant,” urging viewers to tune out or pay attention to the true motives of “The View.”
The Real Clear Polling average shows that former President Donald Trump currently leads Harris in a national head-to-head matchup. This lead grows even larger when third-party candidates are included in the surveys. This data supports Hasselbeck’s criticism of “The View” and its blatant bias in favor of Harris.
