This is the discussion that initiated much of the disagreement on 05/23/07. Rosie says that pundits on Fox News said that she called the troops terrorists, and asks Elisabeth if she agrees with them (twice). Elisabeth doesn’t answer. (about 4 minutes into clip)

Elisabeth’s Fight With Rosie 05/23/07

If you watched or read the media’s portrayal of Rosie O’Donnell’s last day on The View, you undoubtedly read many headlines about “Rosie’s Big Fight With Elisabeth,” in which Rosie was portrayed as angry and mean to Elisabeth. However, if you watch the actual footage, you can see that it was Elisabeth who was the aggressor throughout the entire discussion. Elisabeth begins by interrupting Joy with sarcastic comments as Joy attempts to provide some facts about the George Bush presidency, and then continues by angrily defending her refusal to respond to the Fox News pundits who said that Rosie called the U.S. troops terrorists. As the discussion progresses, Rosie repeatedly tries to de-escalate the situation and not get into a disagreement. However, Elisabeth angrily continues. While many have portrayed this as a fight over politics, it was really a fight about friendship and Elisabeth’s refusal to support Rosie by denouncing what these pundits were saying about her.
