Harris wrote in a campaign email on Friday that after Trump won the election, she went home and ate a family-sized bag of Doritos and “did not share one chip with anybody,” not even her husband.
The email was meant to be a relatable anecdote as many Americans were rightfully fearful after Trump won in 2016. But Hasselbeck, who was a host on “The View” from 2003 to 2013, criticized Harris’s response during Friday’s episode of Fox News’ “Hannity,” saying relatability is not the equivalent of ability.
“That’s the commander-in-chief potentially,” Hasselbeck said, referring to Harris. “That’s the emotional response of the leader of the free world? To binge eat a bag of Doritos? Are you kidding me? Can you imagine [Vladimir] Putin, how he deals with things, chugging down a bag of Sour Patch Kids because he’s depressed about something not going his way?”
Hasselbeck continued: “The relatability cloud that’s being dusted over Americans right now is only to hide the fact that there’s a lack of ability. Kamala Harris failed at the border. So what do we want to do? Give her the globe? Are you kidding me?”
Hasselbeck, who was often the only conservative woman on “The View” during her tenure, also criticized the show for not currently sharing a conservative point of view.
“What I think the viewer is missing there right now is the ability to hear another perspective,” Hasselbeck said, adding that the hosts aren’t “representing American women.”
“They’re not representing the voters in America. They’re not. I doubt there’s one person on that panel that would say they are voting for Donald Trump.”
