Megyn Kelly Slams Elisabeth Hasselbeck After the ‘The View’ Guest Host Called Out Her Position on Iran
Megyn Kelly is clapping back after receiving criticism from conservatives, including former The View cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck, over her stance on the war in Iran.
“If I can just say this, number one: Megyn Kelly’s clip that we ran before saying who those troops died for. How dare you, Megyn Kelly?” Hasselbeck, who filled in for Alyssa Farah Griffin, said during the Tuesday, March 3, episode of The View. “When they are sacrificing their lives in our uniform, how dare you tell them, or their families, or our nation, what they died for?”
The 48-year-old Survivor alum’s response came after Kelly claimed that the “[four servicemembers] died for Iran or for Israel,” during the Monday, March 2, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
Shortly after Hasselbeck’s comments, the former Fox News personality, 55, responded with a personal attack.
“Elisabeth was too weak to handle the ladies of The View and even the morning set on Fox and Friends,” the MAGA podcaster told the Daily Mail Tuesday, alluding to Hasselbeck’s 2012 firing from The View.
“She ran from the public square into exile so she could avoid mean people saying unflattering things about her — and there are many to say,” Kelly continued. “Now she thinks she’s going to come back for a day and be the arbiter of appropriate conversation around the war we just launched in Iran? Please. No one gives a damn what this know-nothing has to say.”
Six American service members have been confirmed dead after the U.S. attacked Iran.
“My own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country,” Kelly added.
