The View host Elisabeth Hasselbeck declares war on Megyn Kelly live on-air: Read Megyn’s snarling reply as their Iran feud bubbles over

Elisabeth Hasselbeck hit into her fellow conservative Megyn Kelly live on The View on Tuesday – earning a scathing response in the process.

Hasselbeck, filling in this week for Alyssa Farah Griffin, used her old show to criticize Kelly’s public condemnation of the US ‘s strikes on Iran.

‘If I can just say this, number one: Megyn Kelly’s clip that we ran before saying who those troops died for. How dare you, Megyn Kelly?’ the guest host said after Kelly’s comments spawned some pushback from conservatives.  

‘When they are sacrificing their lives in our uniform, how dare you tell them, or their families, or our nation, what they died for?’ 

Kelly pulled no punches in her response.

‘Elisabeth was too weak to handle the ladies of The View and even the morning set on Fox and Friends,’ Kelly told the Daily Mail Tuesday.

Hasselbeckwas famously fired from ‘The View’ in 2013 after an on-air argument on the daytime talk show with Barbara Walters and Joy Behar. The reality star then fled Fox in 2015 after two years.

‘She ran from the public square into exile so she could avoid mean people saying unflattering things about her – and there are many to say,’ Kelly said.

The former Fox News host continued: ‘Now she thinks she’s going to come back for a day and be the arbiter of appropriate conversation around the war we just launched in Iran? Please. No one gives a damn what this know-nothing has to say.’ 

Kelly is an outspoken Trump supporter but broke with the president on Monday over Saturday’s initial strike against Iran.

The SiriusXM host said of US soldiers killed in the conflict: ‘My own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country. I don’t think those four service members died for the United States.’

The death toll has since risen to six. 

Iranian state media, meanwhile, confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday, following an initial volley of strikes seen the day before.

Trump told reporters the effort in the region could last four to five weeks or ‘go far longer’ on Monday.

He has refused to rule out the prospect of putting US troops on the ground – an idea that visibly frustrated Kelly during Monday’s Megyn Kelly Show.
