The View hosts walk out on Bill O’Reilly

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set while interviewing the controversial talk show host.

Before anything even happened, it just looked weird. Seated in the middle of the View’s five female hosts, O’Reilly looked like the cranky uncle someone invited to the tea party. On the show to discuss his book Pinheads and Patriots, after a minor squabbling session broke out, O’Reilly, who is famous for talking over his interviewees, quickly silenced Behar by snapping “Listen to me, you’ll learn something.” He went on to express his disapproval of the so-called Ground Zero mosque, proclaiming “Muslims killed us on 9/11.” Whoopi declared that she would not tolerate such statements (or something to that effect, the censors cut her audio at that point), and she and Behar walked off the set.
