Elisabeth Hasselbeck had quite the comeback for Whoopi Goldberg after Whoopi said she had a problem with immigration agents hiding their faces … telling Whoopi her own political party is the “party of masks.”
The comment audibly shocked “The View” audience Wednesday during a heated segment about immigration … with Elisabeth and Whoopi going back in forth.
Whoopi was talking about ICE agents approaching people on the street with their faces covered … when Elisabeth fired back with a throwback jab.
Elisabeth shifted the conversation back to 2020, referencing the COVID pandemic and mask mandates … claiming Democrats “forced masks on everybody in the United States.”
She told Whoopi … “Like I don’t want to hear, ‘You can’t see my face.’ I just can’t. I love you, but I can’t.”
Whoopi steered things back to the current immigration enforcement crisis and made clear she was talking about ICE raids against folks taking their kids to school … and Elisabeth admitted it was a “fair” point.
Elisabeth was sued while a host on “The View” in 2009 over plagiarism issues and later left for Fox News in 2013 … and this week she’s a guest host filling in for Alyssa Farah, who is on maternity leave.
