Elisabeth Hasselbeck Supports Chelsea Clinton

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, known for her insane conservative stances on some issues, surprised her View co-hosts and fans by revealing not only her support for Chelsea Clinton, but a “voicemail relationship” with the ex-president’s daughter.

Hasselbeck’s news came as the group discussed a clip in which Chelsea, on the campaign trail for White House hopeful Hillary Clinton in Indiana.

Chelsea responded to a reporter’s query as to whether she thought her mom’s credibility was damaged because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Chelsea Clinton responded to the inquiry at Butler University, “Wow. You’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question… in the maybe 70 college campuses I’ve now been to. And I do not think that’s any of your business.”

At first, Hasselbeck opined, “It’s a great question.”

But she then added, “I certainly have not agreed with Senator Clinton on her policies… but seeing [Chelsea Clinton] handle that, I felt for her.”

Hasselbeck then shared how she left a voicemail for Chelsea, explaining to the View studio and television audience that “I wanted her to know from my mouth directly that I respect how she handled that with not just wit but dignity.”

As Joy Behar gushed, “That’s so beautiful!” and Barbara Walters appeared a bit surprised, it was Whoopi Goldberg — a frequent Elisabeth Hasselbeck sparring partner — who walked across the stage to give her a hug.

“We can disagree about a lot of things,” Whoopi said, “but when it comes to being a stand-up person, you’re one of the stand-up people. I adore you and I think you calling Chelsea Clinton was a class act.”

Are we missing something here? While we certainly feel awful for Chelsea for having to endure such a scandal to begin with, is it an unfair question when you are visiting 70 college campuses to campaign for a presidential candidate?

    I thought it was a very valid question and deserved an answer. You have to wonder. Plus I believe if Chelsea is going to be out there anything is fair game otherwise it is not fair to those running against her who do not get a buy!
    I don’t think their friendship would transfer to support for Hillary. That would be the only issue for me!
