- Former ‘View’ co-host says Joy Behar calling Carrie Underwood ‘un-American’ is ‘selfish publicity gain’ (foxnews.com)
Former “The View” host Elisabeth Hasselbeck criticized current co-host Joy Behar for calling country music star Carrie Underwood “un-American” for performing at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Behar had questioned Underwood’s patriotism, saying it was hypocritical to support Trump, whom she called a “convicted felon.” Hasselbeck defended Underwood, citing her pro-American record, including USO tours and military support.
Hasselbeck accused Behar of making the comments for publicity, saying she was trying to attach her name to Underwood’s. She also challenged Behar’s claims of supporting strong women, arguing that Behar should support Underwood instead of criticizing her.
Hasselbeck encouraged Americans to attend Trump’s inauguration, calling it a historic event. She emphasized the importance of being a part of such a significant moment in American history.
