View Host Fires Back, Calls Rev. Wright 'Archaic, Sexist'

Hasselbeck attacks him for calling her a 'dumb broad'

Share

(Newser) – The View’s Elizabeth Hasselbeck fired back at Rev. Jeremiah Wright from her own pulpit yesterday, saying he’s “archaic” and “sexist” for calling her a “dumb broad” during a rant about the media in his Sunday sermon. Haselbeck's liberal co-hosts came to her defense, though some disagreed with her previous depiction of him as a "hatemonger," the Chicago Sun-Times  reports.

As for Rev. Wright's reference to Hasselbeck as a "dizzy blond," she deadpanned, "I'm not a natural blond."

I think they should give her a show of her own and let the other Morons fade into obscurity. Reply

I wish Hasslebeck and Palin would go start a critter-shootin,' babble-talkin' country of their own -- preferably on the India/Pakistan border. They're talking and they can't shut up! Reply
