This week, Hasselbeck returned to “The View” as a co-host after seven years. She got to sit alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Meghan McCain.

The star had left the ABC daytime talk in 2013 after featuring on it for 10 years. Last week, Hasselbeck’s return was revealed on the talk show.

Hasselbeck guest-hosts The View

“The View” took to social media to share a gif where the star was welcomed on the show by Goldberg. The caption read: “Welcome back, @ehasselbeck! We're thrilled to welcome her back today as guest co-host!”

Hasselbeck is the OG

However, as much as her co-hosts were happy to have her on the show, the same couldn’t be said for the fans. A number of them took to the comments section in the post to complain about her presence.

Fans not happy with Elisabeth’s return

One fan questioned if it was possible for Hasselbeck to be worse than McCain. Another person pleaded for the guest host to “Go away,” and complained about how she didn’t recall her being that “brainwashed.”

A third viewer felt the star wasn’t actually welcome and lamented that she was “spreading misguided information.” Another Twitter user just wanted Hasselbeck to shut up, noting that she had been talking since she arrived.
