Clinton Takes In The View on Monday

Ex-prez likely to get warmer reception than McCains did last week

Share

(Newser) – Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear Monday on The View, where he hopes to get a more friendly reception than John and Cindy McCain did Sept. 12. The GOP candidate and his wife are still fuming about their treatment, the New York Post reports, with the wife of the Republican candidate saying the ABC show “picked our bones clean.”

The girls will likely be more welcoming for the former Democratic president. Save for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, all the co-hosts lean left, and Whoopi Goldberg—who asked John McCain if she "needed to be worried about being a slave again" in response to his views on the Supreme Court—was friendly with the Clintons during their time in the White House.
