Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former co-host on “The View,” slammed Whoopi Goldberg for actively “intimidating” viewers into supporting Kamala Harris during an appearance with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Hasselbeck called the appearance a “missed opportunity” and accused Whoopi Goldberg of “intimidating” viewers into supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, who is set to become the presidential nominee in November.

“Where was the question? It’s a total misuse. It’s unfortunate, but of course it’s not surprising that there was no follow-up. Joe Biden did the right thing. He handed the job over to someone who can do it, so why can’t he? Where was that question? We would say it wasn’t on purpose,” Hasselbeck, who co-hosted the show from 2003 to 2013, told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. “Consider this the first piece of left-wing advertising for Kamala Harris’ campaign.”
Biden approved Harris reportedly secured the number of delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination on Tuesday morning, just after announcing she was ending her plans to seek reelection.
“This is her main stage, this is where it all begins. Unfortunately, the stage and the table that is always asking for a choice, and through the mouth of my friend Whoopi Goldberg, and I have told her this to her face, is trying to intimidate viewers into voting for Kamala based on the fact that she is a woman,” Hasselbeck continued. “I think this is a completely ignorant strategy, and I hope that the women watching don’t tune out or actually listen to what’s going on at this table. This is total brainwashing and giving up what they had. As KJP said, there was an opportunity for an actual question and there was no follow-up. It was really disappointing, but not a surprise.”
