Flashback: ABC’s The View: ‘Radical Christianity Is Just as Threatening as Radical Islam’

[See NewsBusters for more.] In February, the Media Research Center announced a campaign to hold ABC’s advertisers accountable for the anti-Christian bigotry spewed on The View. There, the show’s co-hosts smeared Christians as “dangerous” and “mentally ill.” But The View’s history of bashing people of faith didn’t start in 2018. On September 12, 2006, then-co-host Rosie O’Donnell drew a moral equivalence between the fanatical terrorists who slaughtered 3000 people on 9/11 and... American Christians. After token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck had the temerity to bring up radical Islam, O’Donnell spat back: “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have a separation of church and state."
