Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back on The View, and she's taking on Megyn Kelly.
Hasselbeck, who appeared as a co-host on ABC's The View from 2003 to 2013, is back in the studio this week. Known for her conservative politics and clashes with former co-host Rosie O'Donnell, Hasselbeck didn't hold back when it came to criticizing conservative pundit Megyn Kelly, who frequently speaks out about hot topics on her popular podcast.
As the View team prepared to discuss the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iran, they played a clip from a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, during which the host declared, "I don't think those four servicemembers died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel."
However, that statement didn't sit well with Hasselbeck.
"Number one, Megyn Kelly's clip that we ran before saying who those troops died for: How dare you, Megyn Kelly," Hasselbeck said. "How dare you tell a military person who has sacrificed their lives for our nation, in our uniform, when they are sacrificing their lives in our uniform, how dare you tell them or their families or our nation what they died for."

When fellow View co-host Joy Behar recommended to Hasselbeck that she choose her words carefully since Kelly has a reputation for fighting, Hasselbeck made it clear that she's not concerned about the pundit's response.
"I'm not afraid of her," Hasselbeck continued. "I have my heart with my friends in the military — you do not get to authorize who they died for."

Which View Hosts Does Hasselbeck Stay in Touch With?
Hasselbeck has made it clear that she is still in touch with the show's current co-host, Whoopi Goldberg. Back in October, when O'Donnell claimed that her 2007 on-air fight with Hasselbeck was a "setup," Hasselbeck said she had nothing but love for Goldberg.
"We love each other. I just texted her last week and thanked her for being a friend who doesn't want me to think how she thinks, and I don't require her to think how I think," she said. "This requires two sane people who have good hearts, who have different opinions, agreeing that we are God's people and we're just going to love each other through our opinions and let them be different without punishing the other person. This is possible. It's not possible with someone like Rosie O'Donnell, who time and time again wants to spread lies and hate."
