During a recent episode of the popular talk show The View, former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck made some comments that seemed to throw some shade at her former colleagues. It all started when they expressed their support for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential run.
Hasselbeck, a conservative political commentator, appeared on Fox News' Hannity and stated, "The View is, of course, doing what The View does best: they're going to pump the girl candidate no matter what." This comment seemed to imply that her former co-hosts were showing unwavering support for Harris simply because she is a woman.
On the July 22 episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, a longtime supporter of Harris, said, "I love Kamala and have defended her from day one. I know she can do the job." Goldberg also urged her fellow Democrats to stand behind Harris and not get caught up in what she called "fetching." She added, "I am trusting that we won't have a problem here because this is what everybody said they wanted to happen."
Sunny Hostin, another co-host on The View, weighed in on the discussion by saying, "Now you have a former prosecutor versus a convicted felon. That's something that I like." It was clear that Hostin's primary goal was to see Harris defeat Donald Trump and become the first woman President of the United States. She expressed her optimism about Harris' chances.
Meanwhile, Republican co-host Ana Navarro stated her support for Harris by saying, "My primary goal is to beat Donald Trump and elect the first woman President of the United States. I'm optimistic." It was clear that Navarro was fully behind Harris and believed that she was the best candidate to defeat Trump.
Hasselbeck, who identifies as a conservative, stated that she was relieved to not have been on The View that day. "All of a sudden gender matters to them," she said, specifically pointing out Navarro's comment. Hasselbeck seemed to be criticizing her former co-hosts for suddenly making gender a key factor in their voting decisions.
Hasselbeck went on to accuse the Democratic Party of trying to have it "both ways" and criticized the mainstream media for avoiding conversations about Trump's near assassination. She said, "The mainstream media is in manipulation mode right now," and praised Trump for his resilience after the incident.
Hannity also joined in the criticism of Hasselbeck's former co-hosts on The View, stating that they continuously shut her down during her 10 years on the show. While Hasselbeck said she was proud of her time on The View, she admitted that she often had unkind thoughts about her colleagues.
Despite this, Hasselbeck maintained that she has remained friends with Goldberg and appreciated the "civil discourse" they have exchanged over the years. However, she did criticize the Oscar-winning actress for "blindly" stating that men should stand behind Harris simply because she is a woman. Hasselbeck also accused her former co-hosts of trying to sway the minds of female viewers and taking away their power to make their own decisions.
In related news, there has been a recent mobilization of white women in support of Harris, with a virtual fundraiser aiming to match the success of a historic event led by black women. The conversation about Harris and her candidacy continues to spark debates and discussions, with strong opinions on both sides.
