Walters: Elisabeth Hasselbeck NOT Leaving ‘The View’

Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Barbara Walters refuted reports that Elisabeth Hasselbeck was being fired from "The View."

According to Fox News, early on in Monday's episode of the talk show, Walters discussed rumors that the 35-year-old Hasselbeck was being pushed off the show because of the conservative opinions she often voices.

"There’s a particularly false story that keeps getting picked up about Elisabeth’s alleged departure saying we don’t approve of her conservative views," Walters said. The truth is... we value and appreciate her point of view, it’s important to us, because it helps give the show perspective and balance."

Walters made it clear the show wasn't planning on getting rid of Hasselbeck, but the news veteran did curiously add that she would support Hasselbeck should she ever choose to leave.
