"I quit watching the View in 2004 until Hasselbeck left in 2013," tweeted one person. "It wasn't her opinions that offended me it was her blatant disregard for her fellow panelist her rude behavior offended me. If she starts her crap again I'll have to quit watching again."

Two minutes in I remember why I was so relieved when Elisabeth Hasselbeck left #TheView

"Why torture your viewers with Hasselbeck?" one viewer asked. "I couldn't stand her then – can't stand her now. She continues to be an annoying, righteous, fake, self serving prig [The View]. We expect better."
prevnextHasselbeck's views on abortion
This @TheView discussion on abortion rights is devolving quickly. From misplaced terms of pregnancy stages to strange preachy narratives and Elizabeth Hasselbeck making her return to the show & advocating for keeping pregnancies created through rape. This is cringey #TheView

"Women who have made the difficult decision to have an abortion do not need to listen to a sermon by Elisabeth Hasselbeck about what she thinks other people – she does not know – should do with their bodies," wrote somebody else.
prevnextViewers accused Hasselbeck of forcing her beliefs on others
Dear Elisabeth Hasselbeck, you have your christian beliefs but you shouldn't place them on others by limiting and making the choices for another woman. If you're really prolife, you'd let her make the decisions that's best for her life. Her body, her choice.#TheView

"Her god is NOT my god! It is NOT part of the equation here!" wrote one viewer. "I am an atheist & I knw many "god-fearing" Christians who hv had abortions! If it is put to a public vote in every state...choice will WIN!"

POST-IT NOTES TO MANAGE THE FAMILY? After first lady Jill Biden revealed that she leaves notes around the house to let her family know how they can pitch in, #TheView co-hosts and @ehasselbeck weigh in on if it’s a better alternative to giving orders! https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/rjzZA7rJKK

"She was so inappropriate," tweeted one person. "I am glad I had a remote and change the channel!"
prevnext'Why is she back on here?'
Why is she back on here??? I was actually considering watching again then I heard her speaking and it’s an immediate no for me. Don’t we learn from the past???

"Whoever thought it was a good idea to have Elizabeth Hasselbeck co-host today should be fired," tweeted one person. "[Never Again]."
prevnextSome applauded the other co-hosts
Looked forward to Elizabeth Hasselbeck on #TheView thought she might have mellowed out. NOPE. She lost me in 1st segment about her children’s book talking to God. Her extreme views are worst. She can’t understand 60% of us don’t want her religion telling us what how to think.

"I applaud the ladies for being gracious to Elizabeth, but she is obnoxious," wrote another person. "Cannot tolerate her at all."
